Rethinking Rigor Through Compassion
About the Event
Welcome to Pedagogy Day 2027, a one-day conference hosted at Eastern Illinois University. The purpose of this event is to cultivate a space where faculty and instructors can explore, share, and engage with proven effective practices for teaching and learning at the university level.
Rigor is often equated with difficulty or inflexibility, while compassion is mistaken for lowered expectations. The theme for Pedagogy Day 2027, Rethinking Rigor Through Compassion, challenges that divide and invites us to explore how high standards and genuine care for students can work together to strengthen learning.
Please watch this page for upcoming announcements about our keynote speaker and the call for proposals.
This event is hosted by the Faculty Development and Innovation Center (FDIC)
