Fall 2006 Teacher Trainings

A new teaching position or graduate program is challenging enough without adding the stress of not feeling confident you know what you're doing in the classroom.

The Teaching Effectiveness Program offers one day teacher trainings for anyone who has not taught before or who may be returning to the classroom after a long absence or may be new to higher ed. In addition to this, we offer support services for instructors throughout the year — consultations, midterm feedback surveys, classroom observations, workshops, trainings, book groups and classes. All our programs and services are free and consultations are confidential.
