Teaching & Learning Network Series
About
The Teaching & Learning Network Series is a funded initiative within the Simmons School of Education and Human Development aimed to establish a collaborative platform where faculty, doctoral students, and community partners could foster creativity in scholarship, promote inter- and cross-disciplinary research, and enhance academic and professional growth.
At each event, guests network with keynote speakers and identify synergies to increase scholarly activity (e.g., preparation of conference presentations, manuscripts for publication, grant proposals, etc.) as well as exchange ideas for current students support and recruitment.
Organized by Dr. Magdalena Pando, Dr. Corey Brady, and Dr. Jeanna Wieselmann.
