Part-time UVI faculty members are reminded that professional development training sessions will be offered for them in November and December. The dates, times, topics and materials that part-time faculty should bring to session one have been sent to all via e-mail. Five sessions have been planned on such topics as assessment in the classroom, matters related to reporting required of faculty by the Office of the Registrar, academic support systems on campus, using Blackboard to assist students in reaching course objectives and effective pedagogy.
The dates of the sessions are November 14 and December 2. The date for the session on pedagogy will be announced shortly, but it seems likely that it will be planned for mid-January. Sessions will start at 6 p.m. and will be held in the Administration and Conference Center in the first-floor conference room on the St. Thomas Campus and in the Great Hall, Northwest Wing, Rooms 134, 135 and 136 on the Albert A. Sheen Campus on St. Croix.
