PD opportunity with Seattle University


Seattle University is gearing up for its 2013 Supporting New Faculty Success cohort, but there are still a couple of open seats!

“For the first time in its 100-year history, the community college is seeing a new learner. Students are ethnically and linguistically more diverse, have more varied levels of skills and experience, often have many competing demands for their time, and have complex aspirations and goals.
These new learners want to succeed, and their success is helped by instructors' abilities to respond to their changing needs. Instructors are now required to be equipped not only with expertise in their subject area, but armed with teaching skills, resources and support networks to train today's new community college students.

Seattle University’s year-long Supporting New Faculty Success (SNFS) program supports community college faculty success, helping new instructors hone the skills required to teach these new learners. SNFS is open to all community college instructors with 3 years of full-time teaching experience or less. No need to be in the Seattle area; we’ll meet via Collaborate so that faculty statewide can participate!

The 2013 cohort will begin on January 3, but it’s not too late to register! Find more details on our webpage at https://www.seattleu.edu/coe/snfs/  or email Lindsey at kaferl@seattleu.edu with questions.”
