About Event
The Teaching & Learning Center at Sam Houston State University is pleased to announce EngageED: A Conference on Effective Teaching, which will be held on the SHSU Huntsville campus. Registration and logins will be available in September.
EngageED is a free conference for educators that brings together faculty, instructional staff, and educational leaders to share practical strategies, research-informed practices, and innovative approaches to effective teaching and student engagement.
This year's conference will feature 3 education tracks: Community Engagement; Active & Student-Centered Teaching; and AI, Academic Integrity & Assessments.
We heard your feedback and wish to support your ability to attend the conference. Session times will be aligned with class times. Tuesday sessions will be aligned with the T/Th classes, Wednesday sessions will be aligned with M/W/F classes. We are also introducing a menu of options for your students so there's no need to disrupt classes in order for you to attend the conference.
