The Center for Teaching is pleased to offer opportunities for faculty to receive mid-semester feedback this semester through our Facilitated Course Reflection (FCR) program. FCR provides formative feedback––not evaluative feedback––to faculty members about what their students perceive to be helping or hindering their learning at the mid-point of the semester.
The Center for Teaching hosts casual gatherings for faculty to share teaching techniques with their colleagues. Topics have included flipped classrooms, “small teaching”, assessment, difficult dialogues, active learning, and remote teaching. If you have implemented a new pedagogical technique, your experience is valuable to others who may want to try something similar.
The Center for Teaching sponsors faculty learning communities, which bring small groups of faculty together in a casual setting to discuss topics of common interest.
We are always happy to assist groups on campus hoping to organize a talk, workshop or event that promotes excellence in teaching. We have co-sponsored events with the Director of Advising, the Mellon Globalization Forum, the QEP initiative (speaking and listening), and more.
The Center for Teaching works closely with Betsy Sandlin, Associate Dean for Inclusion and Faculty Development, to provide orientation and year-long programming for our new faculty.
