Professional Development Programs for Faculty
Daita Serghi
Dear Colleagues,
This Spring, consider attending a professional development program designed specifically for faculty to refine your teaching methodologies, build curriculum development programs and/or engage with other faculty working on similar initiatives. Browse the listing of upcoming programs and we hope to see you at one or more of these online events. Feel free to share this email with your colleagues!
DISCOUNTED RATE ALERT!
Early Bird pricing increases after tomorrow for the June 6&7 - Sustainability Education Forum 2024! Register now for this two-day, virtual event scheduled to span multiple timezones throughout the globe that will provide space to explore challenges and opportunities for sustainability education: What and how do we teach students given the urgency of the times? How do we “fall-forward” on issues related to sustainability teaching and learning in higher education? Let’s use this opportunity to listen and speak about the issues that matter to faculty and educators. Checkout this article and these testimonials from last year’s participants.
