The Center for Teaching Excellence offers a number of supports and services designed to help faculty in their teaching efforts.
Contact us at cte@uncw.edu for more information.
Consultations
We are happy to provide confidential consultations to faculty in all disciplines as they grapple with career-related challenges.
Classroom Observations
Instructors may arrange to have trained faculty observers attend class sessions and provide formative feedback.
Quick Course Diagnosis
Instructors may arrange to have trained faculty facilitators attend a mid-semester class session and lead students in a 20- to 30-minute feedback-gathering exercise. Information from this session will be shared confidentially with the instructor, who will also report back to the students results from the session (Millis and Vazquez, 2010).
Teaching Partnerships
This initiative connects faculty from across campus to support and enhance their teaching. CTE will pair faculty in all stages of their careers based on their needs and preferences to promote attention to effective teaching and learning through formative, collaborative experiences.
Information Literacy Faculty Fellows Program
In collaboration with Randall Library and Distance Education and eLearning, the Information Literacy Faculty Fellows are a core group of UNCW faculty and instructors who are interested in applying cutting-edge information literacy concepts to teaching in their discipline.
Summer Pedagogy Initiatives
CTE Summer Pedagogy Development Initiatives encourage faculty to explore and implement innovative teaching practices by providing support in the form of funding for materials and/or time.
Take-Me-There Travel Stipend
Faculty may apply for money to attend a conference, workshop, or other learning opportunity that is intended to directly improve your teaching.
