To support faculty in improving and enriching their teaching, we are pleased to offer instructional consultation services. Our Faculty Fellow for Teaching and Learning, Dr. Matthew Paolucci Callahan is available to discuss teaching and learning topics with anyone who teaches at Sonoma State. Matthew is an Associate Professor of Psychology and has over ten 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.
