Seminar Description

When professional learning is done well, it offers faculty avenues to cultivate a culture of excellence in teaching based on best practices and evidence-based pedagogies leading to student success. The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning (FCTL) has long been the hub for faculty professional learning at the College and has offered valuable professional learning opportunities to faculty. Obtaining Title III grant has augmented what FCTL has offered to not only offer quality professional learning but also strengthen the resources and toolkits available for faculty to promote student success. The presenters will share what professional learning has been offered through a sustained collaboration of FCTL and Title III and seek participants’ input to scale such efforts and engage more faculty.
