New Part-time Faculty Orientation

Part-time Faculty Orientation is a two-day professional development opportunity designed to introduce faculty members to teaching and learning at Durham College. Part-time faculty members will actively participate in sessions that introduce the science of learning, curriculum, lesson design, instructional and assessment strategies, and learning technology. Sessions are designed to give new educators the information and strategies to begin in the classroom and is delivered through modelling our philosophy of active and collaborative learning.

At the completion of orientation, new part-time faculty will have the opportunity to:

  • Review Durham College academic policies
  • Increase their understanding of curriculum and its meaning to their courses
  • Engage with active learning strategies
  • Examine various assessment tools and strategies
  • Explore foundational DC Connect skills, and
  • Enhance their value to Durham College
