Faculty
Development Institute Handbooks
As understanding
and experience grow, so must the way we share and
teach. We have turned our attention to several of
our Institute Handbooks over the last year and a
half, upgrading and redesigning handbooks for our
Teaching, Activity Design, Student Success,
Assessment, & Mentoring Institutes. We have added
dozens of new activities and made the contents more
accessible and user friendly than ever. |
