Learning Community
Spark+ Experience
The CTE has selected six courses of particular relevance to new faculty and invites you to take these bite-sized courses and discuss them with colleagues in a series of one-hour Zoom sessions. The sessions start in late September and will be led by a CTE facilitator.
To obtain your free license to OneHE, you simply commit to attending at least three of the six sessions and coming prepared to discuss the OneHE courses and how to apply the teaching practices to your own contexts. Register to get your free one-year license to OneHE and to sign up for the learning community sessions you plan to attend.
