New Faculty Teaching Enhancement Program (NFTEP)
As a new faculty member at 黑料社区, it takes time to feel like you're part of the larger Miami Community. The CTE can help facilitate that process. Join our New Faculty Teaching Enhancement Program (NFTEP) and meet your colleagues—all of whom share the common desire to enhance their teaching skills. While developing relationships that could last the length of your career, you'll learn from each other and with each other. Share innovative teaching strategies, attend seminars and workshops, and access a wealth of information about the learning and teaching process.
