Classroom Resources

Faculty resources on teaching provide valuable support and professional development opportunities for educators to enhance their instructional practices. These resources often include workshops, seminars, and online courses designed to improve pedagogical skills, incorporate innovative teaching methods, and stay updated on the latest educational research and trends. Additionally, faculty resources may offer access to teaching consultants, peer mentoring programs, and teaching centers where faculty members can collaborate, exchange ideas, and receive guidance on effective teaching strategies. 

Classroom Instructor Stations

The technology in our classrooms is controlled by an Instruction Station.  The station is generally located as part of the desk but may also be built into the wall.  The stations will differ slightly from classroom to classroom, but this PDF guide covers the functions.
