12:00 - 1:00: Faculty Luncheon 
“The Joy and Responsibility of Teaching Well”, by L. Dee Fink
During this presentation, Dr. Fink will discuss four issues we, as educators, need to re-examine in order to make significant improvements in our teaching:

1. what we teach
2. how we teach
3. how we "gear up" to teach
4. who we are

1:00 - 4:15: Faculty Development Workshop
“Integrated Course Design: Creating Significant Learning Experiences”, by L. Dee Fink
Dr. Fink will present a new model, Integrated Course Design that shows why much of what we are currently doing is good, but it also identifies what we could add to our teaching that would make it even more powerful.

1. Examine the place of instructional design in the “big picture” of teaching
2. Take a close look at what each of us really wants our students to learn
3. Systematically work through a new model of instructional design that will enable us to “design high quality learning into our courses
   • identify the important situational factors and learning goals for courses or units of teaching
   • determine appropriate feedback and assessment tools
   • integrate teaching/learning activities into a class/course/clerkship
   • apply the principles of significant learning to instructional strategies
