The TLC is an active section of AAEA members interested in the theory, scholarship and practice of learning, teaching, and communication. Given that a large majority of AAEA members have responsibilities in these areas, the TLC’s activities are developed to enhance members’ skills in all teaching contexts, advising and mentoring capacity, and in communicating the important work of economists. Activities include:

• Workshops and teaching conversations about teaching strategies, curriculum and assessment, and teaching technologies and innovations. 
• Track sessions surrounding the most pressing teaching and pedagogical topics.
• Annual meetings that facilitate idea exchange and dialogue.
• Networking opportunities for scholarly collaboration.
• TLC’s programs are designed for undergraduate, graduate, and life-long learning environments. The TLC encourages AAEA members to transform their interest in teaching into a passion for excellence in pedagogy.
