Graduate Student Professional Development
Program (Re)Design
Since 2007, Texas A&M University’s Center for Teaching Excellence has worked to develop, implement, and refine the Program (Re)Design (PRD) model. The model is a faculty-led, data-informed process aimed to assist programs in creating a more learner-centered curriculum. During the process, faculty conceptualize, design, and implement curriculum at both the program and course levels. A faculty-led program redesign team, supported by an educational developer, helps drive and sustain the iterative redesign process. This synergistic partnership is anchored by faculty input and engagement.
Faculty Mentoring Academy
To promote a culture of mentoring within and across Texas A&M University, faculty can enhance their mentoring capacity using evidence-based mentoring competencies developed by CIMER. Each competency workshop utilizes customized case studies and activities and is facilitated by faculty who are trained CIMER facilitators. Designed to maximize faculty interaction and dialogue, these workshops provide an environment to share and discuss experiences. Faculty participation can be on a rolling basis.
Innovative Teaching Fellows Program
The Innovative Teaching Fellows program at Texas A&M invites faculty members to participate in a two-year term to enhance teaching through three tracks: AI, Canvas tools, and classroom technology. Participants will develop advanced expertise, complete projects, share innovations, and may evaluate new educational tools for potential adoption.
