Dear Faculty,
We are taking the Teaching Tip this week to announce the FDEV Teaching Certificate. This self-paced course includes three modules. The completion of each module comes with a letter designed for inclusion in your dossier as evidence of your commitment to improving your teaching. This work started with Chiara Ferrari and Grazyne Tresoldi and was completed by Jamie Gunderson from the School of Education. I am proud of the contributions all of them made along the way. Special thanks to Jamie for completing the work and doing so in a way to maximize utility for faculty.
Are you ready to elevate your teaching? We’re excited to invite you to participate in the FDEV Teaching Certificate course on Canvas! This is your opportunity to invest in your professional development and enhance the learning experience for your students—on your schedule, at your own pace.
