Faculty Excellence Opportunities

CELTT seeks participants for the Spring 2024 UBalt Promoting Instructional Excellence (PIE) Program. PIE provides an excellent opportunity for faculty interested in learning about evidence-based teaching practices, improving their teaching, or learning new strategies for their face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses. During PIE meetings, faculty gather with colleagues to listen, discuss, interact, learn, and reflect on topics to enhance teaching and learning.
PIE will run from February 20 to April 15, 2024. Please register by Friday, February 10, 2024 if you are interested.
