Our Offerings
Centre for Teaching Excellence programming
The Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) offers a wide variety of programming for faculty.
CTE Learning Lounge
A monthly drop-in series featuring bite-sized learning on focus topics (~15mins) followed by time for questions and support. Focus topics, such as sustaining student engagement and problem-based learning, reflect faculty needs and interests, respond to student feedback, address emerging challenges in higher education, and promote evidence-based practices in teaching and learning.
Faculty Orientation
A comprehensive set of faculty learning sessions delivered at the start of each term. It acquaints faculty with UNF's unique education philosophy and approach to course delivery, provides teaching-related support and upskilling, and familiarizes faculty with UNF processes and CTE supports.
The three core sessions of Faculty Orientation are focused on:
- Navigating Cascade and using technology to enhance teaching
- Tying technical delivery of course content with pedagogical purpose
- Engaging students in active and applied learning
Workshops
Faculty development workshops are structured learning sessions designed to support teaching excellence by enhancing pedagogical skills, fostering innovative instructional practices, and promoting reflective teaching. Our workshops provide safe and supportive environments where faculty engage in a combination of direct instruction, collaborative learning, and hands-on activities to develop their teaching practice, enhance student learning experiences, and support student success.
Through curated content, hands-on activities, interactive discussions, and peer sharing, participants explore topics such as inclusive teaching, technology integration, and active learning methodologies. Workshops also address emerging challenges in higher education, such as responding to and engaging with AI tools ethically and effectively.
By facilitating continuous professional development and nurturing a supportive, growth-minded community at UNF, our workshops empower faculty to elevate their teaching impact, contribute to a culture of teaching excellence, and enrich the student learning experience.
