Experienced Fleming Faculty Member? Start Here!

If you are an experienced Faculty member at Fleming College we have some great learning opportunities for you!  We have synchronous learning events to help build community and make connections with other faculty such as our: 

Teaching and Learning Days 

These days have a theme related to the current state of the academic division at Fleming and the needs of faculty. Teaching and Learning Days focus on building community between individuals and departments and they support initiatives related to Strategic and Academic Plans. We encourage you to take part!

Teaching and Learning Days occur each academic semester during week 0 and week 8. Watch your email for the most current dates. You can access past recordings here: Teaching & Learning Sessions.
