The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Innovation (CTLI) offers faculty a professional development series from Magna Publications, called the Monday Morning 20-Minute Mentor. The goal of the Monday Morning 20 Minute Mentor series is to offer faculty practical professional development opportunities in twenty minute snippets that can be accessed from anywhere and at any time during the given week. Session topics cover the areas of student engagement, teaching and learning, teaching online, assessment and learning goals, and classroom management.
Information on how to access the Monday Morning 20 Minute Mentor sessions is available each week in the iDevelop e-newsletter.
New video presentations (with supplementary materials) go live at 10:00am each Monday morning and are only accessible through Sunday.
