Faculty Professional Development

Engaging faculty in certified/accredited faculty professional development (FPD) is a key program area for OPED. Much like CPD, programming is available to faculty via live (face-to-face), webinar, online/distance, and one-on-one consultations with a Teaching Consultant. OPED also has online resources including videos, teaching tips, and archived workshops.
