Complete list of workshops
Welcome New SSU Faculty
The Center for Teaching and Professional Development would like to welcome the 16 new faculty who will be joining us as of Fall 2009. CTPD and the Professional Development Subcommittee will be putting on a New Faculty Orientation (Aug 21), as well as several workshops and other support activities throughout 2009-2010.
Revising a Course?
The 2nd edition of the excellent "Tools for Teaching" has just come out. This book is very practical, covering ideas and strategies for teaching through hundreds of tips and methods. Topics cover both traditional tasks of teaching as well as broader concerns, such as diversity and inclusion in the classroom and technology in educational settings
Summer CAMP
CTPD delivered a Summer 2009 Course Accessibility Makeover Program (CAMP). Seventeen faculty members completed an intensive all-day training on June 2, including Universal Design for Learning and instructional materials accessibility. These faculty members will revise a Fall 2009 course, increasing accessibility, as well as teaching effectiveness toward the improved outcomes of all their students.
