Teaching@Purdue professional development curriculum launches for PWL instructors

Teaching@Purdue, a new professional development curriculum has launched, designed to meet the pedagogical needs and goals of different instructors on Purdue’s West Lafayette campus.

Teaching@Purdue offers multiple teaching resources presented in a self-paced, accessible curriculum that allows instructors to follow their own individual development paths. Pathways and resources are designed to allow instructors to invest their time as needed – from a quick overview to more in-depth exploration.

All PWL instructors including tenure-track and clinical faculty, lecturers, instructional staff, and graduate teaching assistants are encouraged to take advantage of Teaching@Purdue. Instructors who are new to Purdue will particularly benefit from a perusal of the introductory topics and paths.

The initial offerings include topics on Inclusive Pedagogy, Academic Regulations, and Online/Hybrid Course Design. New paths will be added and announced by Innovative Learning when they are ready.

The Teaching@Purdue Sharepoint site is public and open to all PWL faculty, staff, and students. Access the Teaching@Purdue modules by signing into the following link with your @purdue.edu email account and password.
