Faculty Mixer Series
Real talk about teaching highs and lows. An informal gathering to share success stories, challenges, advice, and resources to uplift spirits and reignite our passion for teaching. (Based on Red Rocks Great Teaching Retreat.)
The library will provide “mixers” of Lacroix & fruit juice on the rocks.
Hosts: Paula Crossman & Jessica Parsons
Location: Library Classroom
Time: 2:00 - 3:00 pm
Ground rules:
- Focus on collegiality and on problems we can solve
- No prepared presentations: These are informal, conversational mixers
- Notice if you speak more than listen and make space for other voices
- Come with a positive attitude and a desire to collaborate

Quick Tips
Bring a brief description of an object lesson, a device or app you use, a motivational activity, or some simple "trick of the trade" that works with your students (different from your success story). It doesn't have to move mountains; just be effective for you and your students.
