  • Finding Joy in Teaching
    Effective teaching matters. Research indicates effective teachers enjoy teaching and are responsive to students' learning, enjoy the content they teach, remain flexible and adaptive, and keep students' learning and growth central to their teaching. In short, they really like what they do. Sponsored by the Office of Medical Education Research and Development (OMERAD) and the Office of Faculty Affairs and Development (FAD), "Finding Joy in Teaching" is a new audio series featuring CHM faculty. Each episode offers different stories, suggestions, and perspectives on how to find and maintain joy in one's teaching. For more information about how to share your story about finding the joy in your teaching, contact Randi Stanulis, Assistant Dean for Professional Development and Director of the Office of Medical Education Research and Development at randis@msu.edu.
