Dear Colleagues,
This is a third and final notification.
Once again, Touro University California and Touro University Nevada will offer an online course for interested faculty focused on Effective Teaching in Higher Education in collaboration with the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE).
We just had over 30 faculty members complete the course during this academic year, and they overwhelmingly thought the course was transformative for their teaching.
The course is offered via Canvas. There will be three face-to-face meetings. The first face-to-face meeting in August will kick off the course and will be approximately 4 hours in length. The other two face-to-face meetings will occur between blocks 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, and will be approximately 2 hours in length.
From discussions with those who just finished the course, the amount of time commitment is 3-4 hours per unit.
Our plan is to admit 10 faculty members from TUN and 20 from TUC (the opposite of what we did this year). From TUC, we would like approximately the same number from each of the three colleges.
I have attached the 2018-19 schedule. The 2019-20 schedule will be similar, but not identical. The schedule allows you to see the topics, as well as get a sense of the pace of the course.
Those individuals completing the course will receive a certificate in Effective Teaching in Higher Education as well as a pin.
Also attached is an application form.
If you are interested, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FORM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The deadline is June 20th.
IMPORTANT: THE FIRST FACE-TO-FACE CLASS IN CALIFORNIA WILL BE ON THURSDAY MORNING AUGUST 1st FROM 9-12, IN NEVADA IT WILL BE FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2ND FROM 9-12. THESE ARE REQUIRED MEETINGS.
All applications will be vetted with your college dean.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best wishes,
Jim O’Connor Ph.D.
Director
