Teaching and Learning Professional Development Certificate Mini-Course
This course is available to all faculty across disciplines seeking to strengthen their teaching techniques. In this professional development certificate mini-course, faculty will experience teaching practices designed to improve student learning. In interactive online sessions, participants will read, discuss, and apply a variety of teaching techniques as active participants in the course. Exploring concepts and information introduced in the course, participants will develop a teaching demonstration (non-lecture-based) that could be taught in a college course.
Participants will…
- Understand principles and application of teaching practices supported by research literature.
- Explore ways in which research-based teaching principles can be used to enhance student classroom experience.
- Identify and apply inclusive and equitable teaching practices to create a classroom environment that supports learning for all students.
- Using the principles practiced in the course, develop and teach a non-lecture-based teaching activity.
