CTE will be offering a series of mini-workshops that wil count torwards earning CTE Active/Active Plus participation credit. The first mini-workshop series centers around developing productive writing habits and writing for publication.
The plan for these meetings is to place the focus on “reflection on practice” this semester, as many people are teaching in a variety of formats and delivery modes and may want to have an opportunity to sort through ideas, successes, and challenges. Instead of presentations, we’ll have facilitated discussions via Zoom that allow faculty to reflect on and share thoughts on practice.
The Center for Teaching Excellence offers awards that recognize teaching excellence and a commitment to our students. Seven faculty members were awarded for excellence in teaching at the CTE Faculty Recognition Awards, held April 30, 2020, via Zoom.
