Here is an overview of the professional development opportunities offered by UNO CFE.
Communities of Practice (CoPs)
Communities of Practice offer a way for groups of faculty members to network, share ideas and resources, and support one another related to their work in a common area.
Faculty Observation of Teaching
Teaching observations (sponsored by CFE, UCAT, and Digital Learning) give you and a partner a structured opportunity to observe one another's class and exchange feedback. Each participant earns $300 upon completion.
Teaching Analysis By Students (TABS)
TABS provides full- and part-time faculty (including teaching assistants) an opportunity to collect course feedback from students at mid-semester. TABS consultants meet with participants and discuss assessment data. The process is confidential and non-evaluative.
Writing and Research Opportunities
CFE partners with the Office of Research and Creative Activity (ORCA) and the Writing Center to offer faculty opportunities to develop and focus their writing. These opportunities range from accountability groups, writing retreats, and writing challenges.
