Libman steps into FTLC role

Karen Libman, associate professor of Theatre, has been named interim assistant director of the Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center for Winter 2005 while Ron Garrett is on sabbatical. Libman has been a member of the Grand Valley faculty since 1999 and has taught courses in acting, directing, theatre history, theatre education, and storytelling. Her commitment to excellence in teaching derives from her work with standards in art education and her numerous workshop presentations for teachers on drama, teacher education, arts advocacy, outreach theatre, literacy, storytelling, and social justice.

Libman will be offering workshops on teaching as performance, the creative classroom, and cooperative learning. She welcomes invitations to visit classes and to meet individually with faculty. All meetings are confidential.
