Love of Teaching Conference
Love of Teaching Conference
The Love of Teaching Half-Day Conference is an annual professional development event hosted each spring by Montgomery College exclusively for its faculty. Designed to celebrate and reignite faculty members’ passion for teaching. It offers a dynamic space for educators to reflect on their practice, connect with colleagues, and explore innovative instructional strategies.
Organized by the Office of E-Learning, Innovation, and Teaching Excellence (ELITE) in collaboration with the Institute for Part-Time Faculty Engagement and Support (IPTFES), the conference welcomes all full- and part-time faculty across disciplines. Through a keynote presentation or panel discussion, breakout sessions, and collaborative discussions, participants gain practical tools and fresh insights to enhance their teaching.
More than a professional development event, the conference is a celebration of the transformative power of education. It reaffirms teaching as a calling rooted in creativity, connection, and care. The conference is held annually on the last Saturday in April from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For Montgomery College faculty, it’s a cherished tradition, an opportunity to step back, reflect, and renew their commitment to student success and academic excellence.
