Faculty of any kind (full time and part time), graduate instructors and TAs, postdoctoral scholars, and staff with instructional responsibilities are eligible to enroll in this badge program.
CELT Consultations
https://celt.uky.edu/services
Consultations can involve just one instructor or several, as well as just one CELT staff or several. We can consult in person and over Zoom, and we're always eager to have follow-up consultations to keep working on ideas and practices, and to reflect on how things are going. Instructors do not need to have a concrete plan heading into a consultation; while some do, consultations have also been very productive when an instructor does not have everything "figured out" beforehand. We're always eager to talk teaching and learning!
