The Part-time Faculty Development Program is especially helpful for individuals that are new to Humber and to the role of Faculty. Participation in the following sessions will help individuals feel better prepared for their first day of teaching at Humber.

It will also provide participants with:

• An awareness of how to build and maintain a learner-centred approach to teaching
• An introduction to best practices in Teaching and Learning
• An overview of services to support both Faculty and Students
• An introduction to learning technology

Participants can attend one or all of the sessions offered. Space is limited. Please register online.
