SPH Teaching & Learning Workshop Series

The SPH Office of Academic Affairs is pleased to revive the Teaching and Learning Workshop Series (previously the Faculty Teaching and Learning Series) effective fall 2024. This series, which offered sessions until a hiatus in 2022, provides faculty and relevant academic staff programming in teaching and learning best practices, tailored to SPH needs. The workshops are offered in-person and synchronously online, with session recordings and any supplementary materials made available afterward.

*The SPH Teaching and Learning Workshops count towards the school-wide teaching-related professional development requirement for faculty who teach.
