Pathways to Instructional Excellence
Overview about Pathways to Instructional Excellence
The Pathways to Instructional Excellence (PIE) guides 香港伦理 instructors through a competency-based curriculum, leading them to become more accomplished instructors that are better able to teach 香港伦理 students. Professional development at 香港伦理 offers personalization to allow you to choose any of the electives in the Pathways program. You may choose to take any elective in any order, you don't have to complete the electives in any sequence.
Professional Development for faculty is brought to you by several departments at 香港伦理: Library, The Center for Teaching Excellence, and Online Learning & Ed Tech.
