Our recently-completed Social Science Student Success Workshop was, in my estimation, an unqualified success in itself. It brought together adjunct and full-time faculty, long-time teachers and those with less experience, as well as people from many different disciplines and pedagogical philosophies. We were invited to share our experiences, our successes and our problems - and the result was an eye-opener. My eyes were certainly opened! Having taught for a fair number of years, I might be expected to have figured that I already knew how to teach - that my role in this Workshop would be to share my "wisdom", to give the younger teachers the benefit of my long experience. But when the target of our Workshop was analyzed, and the different sub-areas laid out, lo and behold, I discovered to my dismay that there were entire areas to which I had never paid any attention - areas where I not only had nothing to offer, but where I really needed new ideas, because I was doing nothing or very little to help students in these crucial areas. So I'm indebted, first to the Workshop for providing the setting in which I could improve my teaching techniques, and second to my fellow Workshop participants for sharing with me their many clever and innovative ideas for improving student success. In addition, I really enjoyed the chance to interact with my colleagues from many different departments. Our many different perspectives and philosophies lent a special spice to our get-togethers. This Workshop was not only pedagogically useful - it was fun!
