Thank you to the all the faculty and staff that participated in the Summer Institute! We had a good turnout and awesome sessions! Please take a moment to complete the Evaluation (only six questions!) located on the Institute wiki here.

The wiki has a great deal of information from past Yavapai College Institutes and we encourage you to take a look through some of the pages. The Webletter you are reading now also has four years worth of information! At the bottom of this page you can see there are many more pages to visit. You can also enter your email address in the upper right and subscribe to new Webletter posts. You’ll get an email when we add content! Easy.

It was great to see the commenting on the Webletter over the institute and we hope that when you see something valuable posted by a colleague or an interesting article that you will share your ideas by commenting on the posts.

If you missed the Tuesday morning Keynote by Jill Schiefelbein, you can watch it below.

Thanks for participating this year! We have a great schedule of sessions and hope that your days are filled with some learning and sharing of ideas. Don’t forget to visit the Institute wiki! It has resources from some of the sessions from this institute and several institutes over the last couple of years! Take time to share your successes over the year and get to know your colleagues better over a coffee.

To complete the Kindle drawing we ask,  ”What are your favorite things about the Yavapai College Institutes?”

The Yavapai College Summer Institute is just around the corner and we have a great group of learning opportunities for our faculty and staff!

This year, the Summer Institute will be held on Tuesday, May 15th, Wednesday, May 16th and Thursday, May 17th. You can see the schedule and descriptions of the sessions here and the Institute wiki has some of the resources from the sessions on it already. You can sigh up for sessions on the Yavapai College Training site.

Our Keynote Speaker this year is  Jill Schiefelbein. Jill is the owner of Impromptu Guru and faculty member for Arizona State University, where she previously served as the Director of Online Programs for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

We hope to see you at the institute to learn some new tools, explore strategies, and to share ideas about teaching and learning with your colleagues!

I just found that we can add a few things to the yc.edu URL and get some great information. You can watch the video below or just follow these directions:

1. Go to www.yc.edu
2. Add the prefix of your course, or a course you are interested in (ENG101, BIO201)
3. Select the term you want to display

Look at that! Amazing!
