Part-time Faculty Orientation (synchronous), January 9, 3–4:30pm
To welcome new adjuncts to DU, we’re holding a brief, online orientation. Although most adjuncts learn important policies and expectations from their departments and colleges, this orientation offers a connection to resources at the campus level, as well as a chance to connect with faculty in similar roles.
Tips and Tricks for Part-Time Faculty (synchronous), January 19, 10–11am
Been teaching at DU or elsewhere for a while? Come join the OTL’s instructional designers for a discussion with other part-time faculty about some “tips and tricks” for engaging students, managing workflow, and navigating department politics.
Revisiting or Writing your Teaching Philosophy, AAC 340, February 9, 11–12:30pm
A teaching philosophy can be a useful tool beyond the academic job search or review process (although it’s also helpful for those). Come to this workshop to explore your teaching values now, and practice providing compelling evidence of how these values show up in your classes. The event is open to all faculty and graduate students. Please bring something to write with (paper/laptop, etc.).
