Faculty Awareness and Commitment to Excellence (FACE) Training Program and Teaching & Learning Resource Archive

Faculty Training & Professional Development

FACE will provide self-reflective professional development and education research support for 35 STEM faculty (5 cohorts; each cohort 7 faculty) to inspire and sustain continuous curriculum reforms to meet the needs of our undergraduates.  STEM faculty will be provided with the necessary tools required to continuously refresh and reform teaching and learning environments with the goal of strengthening the ability of our students to be dynamic learners, thinkers, and creative innovators, well prepared to be productive members of the scientific community.

FACE Faculty Teaching & Learning Resources Archive

Each year successful faculty teaching and learning implementation projects will be documented and archived on the iApply web site as a resource for SSU faculty, as well as the academic community at large.

Objectives: 

  1. Update STEM course curriculum, refresh and reform teaching and learning environments
  2. Facilitate strengthening the ability of students to be dynamic learners, thinkers, and creative innovators, well prepared to be productive members of the scientific community.
