Teaching takes time and energy. There is time needed to plan and execute lessons, attend to and enhance student engagement, prepare and assess student learning, support students learning outside the classroom via student hours or responding to student questions, and the list goes on. Yet we know time is a limited resource. Thus, we need to make choices not only about how we use our time to become more effective teachers and foster student learning, but also make time for our scholarship and service.

If you are interested in reflecting on your current teaching time and identifying ways to manage it better, this roundtable is for you. Come share time-saving strategies that have worked for you and learn strategies from others.​
