During NFO and throughout the year, CAFE provides faculty development programming designed to help you make the best possible use of key resources that support teaching, learning, and student success. Good teaching is valued at UAA, and many members of the UAA community recognize that faculty development is the process by which faculty members go from being 鈥渃ontent experts鈥 to highly skilled, reflective educators who rely on evidence-based practices to create transformative teaching and learning experiences. Whether you become involved in one of our faculty learning communities, develop a scholarly teaching project in our Scholarship of Teaching and Learning program (Making Learning Visible), or attend one of the many workshops available to help you develop your teaching skills and strategies, we think you鈥檒l see why so many faculty members participate in the development opportunities. In addition to the programs we offer, we're an exceptionally collaborative center, working with offices and professionals across the institution. If you have a question or need support, don't hesitate to contact us! If we don't have the answer, we'll be happy to guide you toward resources and forms of support located in other offices on campus.
