The Certificate of Professional Development in Teaching & Learning (CPDTL) is a voluntary opportunity open to all part-time, non-tenure track and full-time WCU faculty to actively, reflectively and collaboratively engage in professional development as teachers and as creators of learning experiences for students. Listening, talking, observing, reflecting, self-assesssment, facilitation of student learning, instructional design and delivery, course management and writing about teaching & learning set the foundation for the one-year certificate program. Completion of the activities for the CPDTL will enable faculty to further develop their skills in many or all of the seven dimensions of teaching as identified in the WCU Faculty Handbook:
- Content Expertise
- Instructional Delivery Skills
- Instructional Design Skills
- Course Management Skills
- Evaluation of Students
- Facilitation of Student Learning
