The Professional Development Workshop (PDW) program has grown enormously in recent years, mainly because it offers such an exciting array of options and such a broad diversity of formats.  Whether you are a doctoral student, job-searcher (at any stage of career), junior faculty and new faculty member, a more senior professor, an associate dean or director of research, whether you are interested in sessions about research or teaching, and whether you want to hear about specific content-issues, theory or techniques, or to build your skills and networks, I encourage you to make the most of the options available at our meetings this year in Lake Buena Vista (Orlando). 

For the first time ever, the Academy of Management will offer a TEACHING & LEARNING CONFERENCE (TLC) in conjunction with its annual meeting. TLC@AOM will be held Sunday, August 11, 2013, before the scholarly program, in Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), Florida on DisneyWorld properties.  

Designed for maximum participant engagement and interaction, the primary focus is on improving the practice of teaching in our field. By offering a full-day of diverse sessions, this event builds on the prior successes of teaching-oriented PDWs and offers an opportunity to interact and create community with teachers from across all divisions of the Academy.  

MED would like to highlight a few PDWs and an introduction to the TLC conference.

Dear Colleagues: This has been an amazing year for MED! Teaching and Learning are going to have a large presence in Orlando! First of all check out the MED PDW highlights shared by Peter McNamara for Thursday and Friday. He has created an innovative and engaging program of experiential opportunities for MED members and the Academy. Then review the MED Scholarly Program scheduled for Monday and Tuesday developed by Barbara Ritter and focused on effective approaches to advance management learning. 

The Research Methods Division, with support from the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA), will sponsor its first Consortium in the summer of 2013.  More information on presenters, dates, and applications will be coming soon.

The Consortium will be for advanced Ph.D. students and for junior faculty interested in developing methodological contributions. Topics will include learning and teaching foundational methods, managing dissertation issues, careers as a methodologist, mixed methods, and crafting a methodological contribution. Sessions will be conducted virtually (once a week for five weeks) in three tracks (Macro methods, Micro methods, and Qualitative methods) followed by a Social at the AOM meeting in August.  More information on presenters, dates, and applications will be coming soon.
