Teaching with Technology:
The Institute for Instructional Technology (IIT) is a faculty-centered initiative co-sponsored by the Office of Information Technology and the Center for Teaching Excellence at the University of Maryland. The IIT provides faculty who are interested in implementing technology into their courses with interactive skills training that focuses on a variety of technological applications.

Faculty Teaching Consultation:
Faculty Teaching Consultation is designed to help provide support for those who would like to improve their teaching. Teaching consultants work one-on-one with teachers based on their own goals. The requesting teacher determines the issues to be explored, and the consultant provides an outside perspective, peer support for a plan of action, and suggestions for additional resources. Contact the Center for Teaching Excellence at (301)405-9356 or cte@umd.edu for details.

CTE-Lilly Fellows Program:
The CTE-Lilly Fellowship has for nearly twenty years been an opportunity for faculty to form lasting cohorts among colleagues from across campus as they address critical issues in teaching at the University of Maryland. For a current note on the Lilly Fellowship, please click here.

At the end of each August, the Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs holds an orientation for new university faculty. The program is for all new faculty (all ranks of professors, lecturers, research faculty, extension agents, visiting faculty) who have begun at the university in the past twelve months.

In the weeks following the New Faculty Orientation Program, CTE hosts a New Faculty Workshop, part of its workshop series, as a venue to discuss issues and challenges related to teaching.
