NFTEP provides an opportunity for Miami tenure track and 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. Throughout the semester, there will be a seminar every two or three weeks for you to select from. Presentation times will vary to provide opportunities for all to attend some sessions. Some sessions are specifically designated for NFTEP members, and you are especially encouraged to come to those, because they provide an opportunity to meet other new faculty something that our participants say is one of the best aspects of the program. Details about the NFTEP sessions being offered are still being determined.
Participation in NFTEP requires attendance at 8 seminars, these may be drawn from any of the following sources:
- Events listed on the CELTUA calendar
- King Library in Oxford holds workshops on technology
- Advanced Learning Technologies will offer SOME sessions on Blackboard (the web course package) near the beginning of the semester.
- The Center for Writing Excellence offers workshops
- The Center for Teaching and Learning in Middletown also offers seminars
- You may earn up to half your sessions by attending the Lilly Conference on College Teaching. When you register, mark your institution as Miami University and indicate that you are a member of NFTEP, and the cost of your registration will be zeroed (not counting meals or preconference events). Register early seating is limited.
Participants will produce a teaching project as an outcome of their participation in NFTEP.
In order to receive credit, you must attend and write acceptable reflective statements on at least 8 teaching-related sessions, write a short summary response to the program, and complete (and, if possible, share with the group) an acceptable teaching project e.g., (e.g., a revised syllabus or brief teaching plan accompanied by a reflection). Upon completion of the Program, members will receive access to $400 for professional expenses (to be spent by June 1) and a certificate from the Provost and the Center acknowledging their participation.
Schedue for 2011-12 academic year.
Cecilia Shore will facilitate NFTEP for the 2011-2012 academic year.
