Instructional Consultation & Customized Workshops
To support faculty in improving and enriching their teaching, we are pleased to offer instructional consultation services. Our team of faculty fellows is available to discuss teaching and learning topics with anyone who teaches at Sonoma State and have years of experience in faculty development. Consultations are free, confidential, and non-evaluative. Whether you are new to teaching or have been teaching for decades, consultations provide a supportive space for faculty to learn new ideas, discuss concerns, and reflect on their teaching.
To arrange an appointment or for more information, contact the Center for Teaching & Educational Technology at ctet@sonoma.edu.
