Listen to Derek Bruff’s Intentional Teaching podcast, now sponsored by UPCEA!

UPCEA is excited to announce that we are now sponsoring the Intentional Teaching podcast hosted by Derek Bruff. Derek is an educator, author, and higher ed consultant. He directed the Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching for more than a decade, where he helped faculty and other instructors develop foundational teaching skills and explore new ideas in teaching. Derek has a Ph.D. in mathematics and has taught math courses at Vanderbilt and Harvard University.

Intentional Teaching is aimed at college and university educators to help them develop foundational teaching skills and explore new ideas in teaching. The podcast’s name is a spin on Derek’s 2019 book, Intentional Tech: Principles to Guide the Use of Educational Technology in College Teaching
