"Transforming lives through teaching and learning"
Below you will find materials related to the Annual Professional Summary (APS) for full-time faculty, which took effect March 16, 2008.
You may recall the general 1-hour introductory sessions that were held in February and March and that we used a PowerPoint presentation to highlight important details on how to prepare the teaching portfolios. You can access this PowerPoint Presentation below.
In addition you can access the Official Guidelines and the new APS Template below.
We hope to be able to post some samples in the near future that may further help you.
Please keep in mind that we will offer more general introduction sessions, as well as "hands-on" workshops throughout the year.
