International Faculty Development

One of the richest opportunities to deepen our understanding and practice is working with colleagues from across the world. For the past decade, CELT has had the privilege to partner with faculty and administrators to participate in and lead international faculty development programs around teaching and learning. We approach these opportunities with the same constructivist and collaborative mindset that we take to all of our work as we design interactive, reflective experiences that foster cross-cultural dialogue and strengthen global partnerships. Below is a list of programs that CELT or CELT staff have participated in. For these programs we are indebted to the leadership of our UK partners, including the UK International Center, the UK Office of China Initiatives, the Gatton College of Business and Economics, the College of Engineering, and the Paterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce.
