Teaching at Southern

Join CTE and GS Faculty as we co-host discussions following the independent viewing of recorded webinars. Prior to the discussion session, you are invited to view the webinar recording at a time convenient to you. The discussion time will give faculty an opportunity to share questions, comments and thoughts with teaching colleagues.

The Faculty Senate Faculty Development Committee is pleased to announce the availability of funding in support of faculty development activities. Funded by the University, the programs are designed to provide time and resources for the enhancement of the teaching-learning process with emphasis directed toward classroom instruction.

Requests may include registration for conferences or supplies/materials/equipment for creative projects that affect the instructional process. The activity must take place between March 15 - August 30 but reimbursement for approved expenses must occur by June 1, 2021. All submissions will be reviewed by the Faculty Senate FDC committee in a blind review process.

To submit a proposal, visit the FDC Faculty Development Awards webpage.

It’s a new year and with it comes changes in the CTE. What hasn’t changed is the CTE’s goal of meeting the professional development needs of faculty in a timely manner. To assist us with this goal, we have adopted the MyHelp ticket system! This new system will replace our previous Teaching Services Request form.

Each session includes 3 self-paced modules followed by a requisite Design Practicum (DP). The Self-paced learning modules provide the framework for designing a quality online course.
