Theatre Design & Technology - Winter 2018 - 65

ly honed in on what you can effectively
teach within that structure?
* Do you have a strategic plan for work
outside the classroom?
* How are you addressing the needs of
modern students?
* Have you made an effort to educate
yourself on issues of diversity and inclusion?
* Are you helping empower your students
through self-teaching and peer learning?
* How are you staying up to date with the
changing technology?
* Have you taken advantage of resources
available to faculty like conferences,
creative activities, and national service?
This article began as a conversation
among concerned colleagues who want
to improve lighting education. It is meant
to be a conversation. The challenges
and solutions don't fit everyone's situation, but we hope it will help you start
to examine your teaching methods. This
conversation is far from complete. In addition to the ideas presented here, there
are numerous topics and ideas to be explored. When you see us at the USITT
national conference, let's talk.
