Faculty Teaching Program

Academic Affairs, Title III Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Center for Extended and Distance Education co-sponsor the Faculty Teaching Program, which recognizes the importance of excellence in teaching at Austin Peay.

In exchange for a course release, the Faculty Teaching Program offers an opportunity for selected faculty to study teaching strategies that can enhance student success. Accepted applicants meet 1-4:30 p.m. each Tuesday of the fall semester. Additional responsibilities include completing weekly assignments, participating in individual teaching consultations, and delivering a professional-development workshop on a particular teaching strategy.
