Programs
Collegium on Large
Class Instruction
This program focuses on strengthening, improving and identifying
the needs of instructors and students of large classes particularly
those with one hundred or more. Faculty who participate in this
two-day Spring Quarter program work closely with senior colleagues
in a relaxed environment off campus. Faculty attend various
sessions, work in groups and address teaching concerns. Offered every odd year.
Institute for Teaching
Excellence
This one-week program in June takes faculty off-campus into
a secluded environment. Here, faculty actively participant in
sessions taught by senior colleagues known for their teaching
abilities. Faculty participants use the week to gather new ideas,
tools and strategies they've learned and apply it to one of
their courses or seminars of choice. The week concludes with
each participant presenting their work to fellow colleagues. Offered every even year.
Faculty Workshops
on Teaching and Learning
Sponsored by the Office of the Provost, these quarterly workshops are free and open to all teaching faculty from
the Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma campuses. Each workshop,
focused on a particular subject, is taught by knowledgeable
individuals in that area of study. Previous workshops have included
topics on effective lecturing, leading seminars, writing, etc. Workshops are available on a first-come first serve basis.
Faculty Fellows Program
Faculty Fellows is a one-of-a-kind program that takes new UW
faculty and introduces them to the campus, its resources, students
and colleagues. This one-week program in September focuses on
an idea each day, inviting speakers to address various topics
from tenure, to incorporating undergraduates in research and
popular local places where faculty go to relax. It's an informal
way for new faculty to familiarize themselves with the UW while
making new connections. |
