CET Future Faculty Teaching Institute

The Center for Excellence in Teaching (CET) announces the CET Future Faculty Teaching Institute, a semester-long training program that prepares graduate students, planning to pursue academic careers, with an essential background in pedagogy. Students should be enrolled in doctoral or other terminal degree programs and have some TA or teaching experience. Participants who complete the entire program (a minimum of 12 workshops) will be awarded a teaching excellence certificate and can indicate completion of the institute on their CVs. Schools should encourage their graduate students to sign up.

The CET Future Faculty Teaching Institute comprises a series of 14 hands-on, catered lunch workshops throughout the Fall 2018 semester.

The workshops are designed to provide future faculty:
Best practices for higher ed course design
Essential pedagogy for teaching and learning
Strategies for developing an inclusive learning environment
Practical techniques to enhance student learning
Opportunities for collaborative peer review

A sampling of specific workshop topics include:
Facilitating challenging discussions
Incorporating strategic questioning
Enhancing student-instructor and student-student interaction
Designing for multimedia instruction
Creating effective assessment practices

Gifts will be raffled off for each session.

Participants may elect to attend either the Monday (12:00-1:00) or Tuesday (12:30-1:30) cohort on the UPC campus (room TBA).
