Fall Forum on Teaching and Learning

Can You Teach Perseverance? 
The Fall Forum on Teaching and Learning brings together faculty from across DePaul's colleges and schools to connect with one another and share strategies for teaching and learning. The Fall Forum focuses on a different timely topic in teaching each year, and complements the annual Teaching and Learning Conference in the spring.
The theme of this year’s Fall Forum on Teaching and Learning--Can You Teach Perseverance?--speaks to DePaul’s stated commitment to the education of first generation college students. Recognizing that first generation students and students from low income families are less likely to graduate college than their peers, researchers and educators are exploring how mindset, mentorship, a sense of belonging, grit, and community-building can help these particular students persevere and succeed in college.
This Fall Forum invites faculty to consider what they might do to help different populations of students succeed in the classroom. Guest speaker David Laude, whose groundbreaking work on student perseverance at the University of Texas at Austin was featured in a recent New York Times article, will give the keynote presentation. An interactive afternoon panel will follow.
