Welcome  

The Faculty Professional Development Program organizes and conducts offerings aimed at engaging faculty in focused conversations about designing teaching and learning experiences to contribute to a "teaching commons" at Northern Arizona University.

The office provides consultations to departments and colleges, committees, and to individual faculty.

Read more about six key program areas and offerings

 

Note: The term “program” refers to the six major categories of faculty development opportunities. Within each are numerous “offerings” and within each of those can be more specific “activities.” These components are informed by the FPDP vision, mission, themes, and principles.
