Love of Teaching Conference

Passionate Teaching: Igniting the Love for Learning

The Love of Teaching Annual Conference is held every spring on the last Saturday in April. Originally conceived by Instructional Designer Dr. Carol Moore, the first conference was held in 2016, and it has been held every year since except in 2020 due to the pandemic. The Love of Teaching is different from other professional development events in that it is a celebration of the teaching profession. It provides an opportunity for participants to explore a topic of interest with colleagues and do so in a convivial atmosphere that allows for greater camaraderie and collaborative learning. Since its inception, the event has grown in participation and is one of the most popular professional development events offered at Montgomery College. 

Join us for an inspiring half-day conference centered around the theme of "Passionate Teaching: Igniting the Love for Learning."

This year's conference aims to invigorate higher education instructors and reignite their passion for teaching through insightful discussions, shared experiences, and active engagement.

The conference will begin with a panel discussion, during which selected Montgomery College instructors known for their innovative teaching methods will share their challenges, triumphs, and strategies for cultivating a love for learning in their classroom.

Following the panel discussion, attendees will participate in interactive breakout sessions designed to explore key topics and scenarios related to passionate teaching.

Join us as we celebrate the transformative power of passionate teaching and embark on a journey to inspire and empower the next generation of learners!
