Inspiration 104: The Faculty Teaching Academy 2008-2009 Inspiration is a powerful motivator and cherished gift. Register to be a participant in the upcoming Faculty Teaching Academy (FTA) and give yourself the gift of Inspiration. During the six FTA sessions you will have the opportunity to learn from Texas A&M University faculty members who have distinguished themselves as teachers. In addition, the peer observation part of the FTA allows you to see first-hand how these master teachers practice their craft. An added benefit is creating a network of colleagues who share your passion for teaching and learning. Faculty Teaching Academy meetings are highly interactive, intellectually stimulating, and informal. Professional development in the teaching area has never been so accessible. Since a high percentage of faculty who successfully have earned promotion and tenure participate in faculty development types of activities, why wait? Space is limited so register today. Be inspired and inspire better learners!
