Core Teaching Certification
Applications for the Summer 2020 cohort for the Core Teaching Certification |CTC| are now being accepted.
The CTC:

- Recognizes faculty for their efforts in becoming more intentional, reflective teachers who incorporate effective practices in teaching in higher education; and
- Affords faculty members the opportunity to meet other faculty members outside their home departments who are dedicated to improving their teaching.
Faculty who successfully complete the Certification intentionally refine and enhance their courses with feedback throughout the reflective course design process.
