Teaching Essentials Modules

The Faculty Center for Innovation (FCI) is pleased to announce the launch of the new Teaching Essentials Program. These fully online, self-paced modules provide excellent information and practical examples from the field, for both novice and experienced instructors, with ideas to (re)invigorate teaching within your own class.

Faculty who complete all five modules will be awarded a Teaching Essentials digital badge, once they send their certificate of completion to innovate@park.edu. This badge can be shared via social media and included in the professional development section of their portfolio for their performance review.

All Teaching Essentials modules are hosted in Bridge. Click each module topic below to access content. For additional questions or comments related to the Teaching Essentials certification, please email innovate@park.edu.
