Welcome to the Office of Faculty Development!
We are pleased to announce the opening of the ATIS Office of Faculty Development as of January 2008.
The office is funded through EUP/ATIS revenue, and its aim is to help instructors at all levels (board appointed faculty, adjunct and part-time faculty, and graduate students) develop the skills necessary to implement powerful pedagogies in their teaching. Regardless of whether courses are face-to-face or online, large or small, powerful pedagogies emphasize strong instructional design that maximizes student engagement. Such teaching plays a critical role in the WMU commitment to increasing student success.
The links on the left will take you to services the office offers, programs planned for 2008-2009, and an ever-growing set of "vetted" and annotated links to resources for teaching and learning.
We welcome your feedback - please contact us with suggestions for program or resource topics, to discuss possible specialized programs, or to let us know how we can better serve instructors across the WMU community.
