T he eighth annual APSA Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC) was held in Albuquerque, New Mex-ico, February 11–13, 2011, with 226 attendees onsite. The theme for the meeting was " Making Sense of Politics and Political Science. " Using the working-group model, the TLC track format encourages in-depth discussion and debate on research dealing with the scholarship of teaching and learning. In addition to the 13 working groups, there were 20 workshops on various topics. The 2011 TLC also featured plenary events, including a lunchtime roundtable on " Strategies for Teaching Challenging Issues " and the Pi Sigma Alpha Keynote Address, entitled " Helping Students Make Sense of a Changing Political World, " delivered by Professor Jane Y. Junn of the University of Southern California. The meeting concluded on Sun-day morning with a plenary session in which the attendees discussed " Where Do We Go from Here? " and offered concrete suggestions on next steps for enhancing teaching and learning throughout the discipline and within their own academic communities. As was the case at the 2010 conference, the 2011 TLC featured live remote participation technology. Through the use of remote participation, the three plenary sessions were broadcast live via the Internet, allowing those who were unable to attend the meeting to join discussion virtually.

We hope that you find the information on and insights into teaching political science to be useful. In 2004, 40 political scientists gathered in Washington, DC, to inaugurate the APSA Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC), which aimed to explore how we teach and how students learn best within the discipline. A common theme linking the active-based curriculum to political science over the past eight years has been the theory of experiential education. Over time, the vibrant conversation within this track has included community-based learning, service learning, civic engagement, community-based research, simulations, case studies, problem-based learning, and internships. The discourse has also shifted away from asking what civic engagement is and how we can integrate it into the curriculum toward questions such as: • How do we assess and document learning? • What is the long-term impact of civic engagement? • What are the affordances to all participants? • What constitutes success? • What is more …
