Message from the Director

I am thrilled to share with you the exciting developments at the Teaching and Learning Commons (TLC). This week, we have begun planning the upcoming UNLV Best Teaching Practices Expo (BTPE) to be held on February 20, 2024 at the Student Union Ballroom. Please save the date!

The UNLV BTPE is an exciting event that celebrates and promotes innovative and effective teaching methods. This Expo is a must-attend for educators looking to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in education and enhance their instructional skills. Whether you're a seasoned educator or just starting your teaching journey, the BTPE will provide an opportunity to network with other educators and learn about their ventures in teaching practice.

We are also exploring the possibility of including students. This would involve “learners” in the mix and offer a valuable and enriching experience for both students and educators. Furthermore, this aligns with our goal of developing an alliance of teaching and learning under one roof.

Feel free to share with me a few lines about your experiences and ideas at haroon.stephen@unlv.edu, and please stay tuned for more information about this upcoming educational extravaganza!

Looking forward to talking with you,

Haroon (Stephen) Sahotra

Faculty Director
