| FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
The Center offers a seminar each Fall for new faculty, and the Web-based New and Adjunct Faculty Guide. The focus is on resources available at Marquette to support teaching, including services offered by the Libraries, Service Learning, Manresa Project, Student Educational Services, the Center for Teaching and Learning and other offices and units.
Faculty workshops are offered each semester in areas such as course design, grading, lecturing, assessing student learning, team-based learning, detecting cheating and motivating students.
Some individual consultation with faculty is available, especially when student feedback has indicated that improvement in one or several areas may be needed.
Staff of the Center work closely with the Preparing Future Faculty Program, which supports graduate students who hope for careers as faculty members. Contributions to the PFF program include offering workshops for the PFF certificate program, advising PFF on speakers for workshops and offering two graduate classes as part of the certificate program – Faculty Roles in Higher Education and Designing and Teaching Effective Courses in Higher Education.
The Center provides help, including assistance with proposal writing, for faculty who are interested in developing new courses that have promise of having high impact on student learning. These tend to be interdisciplinary and /or electronically mediated courses.
The Center provides a coaching program for faculty who desire the assistance of a senior mentor in the area of teaching.
The resources of the Center are available to faculty who wish to pursue broad issues related to the scholarship of teaching or issues related to specific techniques or methods of teaching.
