On behalf of POD and Temple University, the staff at the Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT) is delighted to welcome you to the 2024 Online Institute for New Educational Developers (INED). During this 4-day virtual conference, you will have the opportunity to meet and develop collegial relationships with leaders in the field of educational development as well as with your fellow new educational developers.

Before the conference, starting July 1, 2024, we will make asynchronous materials (such as readings, videos, and podcasts) available on the conference platform. These materials will provide information and resources on foundational principles of evidence-based teaching and the history of the field, allowing those who desire some preparation before attending the conference to avail themselves of these resources. Asynchronous materials will remain available during and after the Institute. 

During the conference, there will be synchronous sessions, including a keynote and anchor session, as well as concurrent sessions, one-on-one coaching, networking and drop-in Q&A opportunities. 

We hope the 2024 Online INED ignites your passion for continual learning and reflection on how you can best assist your faculty and TAs and gives you greater self-confidence in your knowledge base and skills set.

We have leveraged the six domains of L. Dee Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning Goals and then enhanced his model by holistically integrating principles of equitable and inclusive teaching.
