About the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program
Founded in 1986 on the principle that faculty best learn from one another, the FTEP provides a wide range of opportunities for CU’s faculty to share insights into teaching and research. The FTEP embraces all pedagogies and technologies, from the most traditional to the most innovative.
Among the initiatives fostered by the FTEP are the Early Career Faculty Program, which helps junior faculty to meet high standards in their classrooms and their scholarship, research and creative work. The Summer Institute: Increasing Student Engagement and Improving Learning with Educational Technologies and Course Re-Design, which introduces faculty to computer-based tools for scholarship, learning, design and teaching. In addition FTEP provides such services as confidential teaching consultations and seminars devoted to faculty development.
In recognition of its work, the FTEP has attained membership in the National Faculty Learning Communities Consortium, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, The Scholarship of Teaching Learning and Faculty Associates for services.
