New-Faculty Teaching Enhancement Program (NFTEP)
Welcome!
NFTEP provides an opportunity for Miami first-year tenure-track and full-time visiting faculty to engage in a one-semester series of seminars, workshops, and activities about teaching and learning. The Program is designed to enhance teaching interest, knowledge, practice, and effectiveness. This group will form a community of new-faculty teaching scholars. Participants may use Miami's Journal on Excellence in College Teaching to access helpful articles for discussion and research. The Program has a budget pool to support the teaching development needs of the participants up to $400 each. Upon completion of the Program, members will receive access to the $400 and a certificate from the Provost and the Center acknowledging their participation.
Throughout the first semester, there will be a seminar every two or three weeks. Presentation times will vary to provide opportunities for all to attend some sessions. Topics may include the evaluation of teaching, developing teaching portfolios, how to involve small groups in teaching, student intellectual development, leading discussions, teaching Miami Plan courses, and other topics of interest to the participants. Participants will assist in selecting topics and produce a revised syllabus or brief teaching plan as an outcome of their participation.
The 8 sessions required for certification and the $400 professional expenses may include events offered by CELTUA, Liberal Education, or CWE, including 1-2 sessions each semester that are specifically targeted to the needs of early-career faculty, and/or up to four sessions from the Lilly Conference on College Teaching.
