New Part-time Faculty Orientation

Individuals high fiving each other.

New Part-time Faculty Orientation is a professional development opportunity, hosted by the CTL, that aims to introduce new part-time (PT) faculty members to teaching and learning at Durham College. The program looks at learning, teaching strategies, curriculum, assessment, and educational technology. It is designed to give new faculty members the information and experience to begin in the classroom. It models our philosophy of active and collaborative learning, and will be delivered remotely in both synchronous (live online) and asynchronous (self-directed online) formats.

At the completion of orientation, attendees will have:

  • Reviewed the academic policies of DC
  • Increased their understanding of curriculum and its meaning to their courses
  • Engaged with active learning strategies
  • Examined various assessment tools and strategies
  • Explored foundational skills around using our learning management system, DC Connect, and
  • Enhanced their value to the college
