Join us for the 2025 UC Professors of Teaching Conference, hosted by the Center for Educational Effectiveness at UC Davis. The conference will bring together the Tenure Track Teaching Professor Network (T3PN), a community of Professors of Teaching (PoTs) across all campuses in the University of California system, from all fields of study. This year’s theme is: "Navigating the Shifting Landscape of Higher Education." We are excited to announce that registration is now open, and we cordially invite you to attend.
 

Goals of the Tenure Track Teaching Professor Network community

  • Facilitate collaborations on teaching, educational programming, curricular design, and pedagogical research
  • Develop leadership capacities in equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives related to education
  • Establish formal mentorship structures among Professors of Teaching
  • Provide opportunities to disseminate accomplishments
  • Advocate for the Professors of Teaching position across multiple levels of the UC system
     

Activities and accomplishments of the Tenure Track Teaching Professor Network

  •  NSF-funded research and peer-reviewed literature on the role of Professors of Teaching in curricular development, institutional change, and undergraduate student success
  • A system-wide Professors of Teaching mentoring program (run by UC Davis Professor of Teaching Marina Ellefson)

We hope you will join us!
