NFO Faith Integration Foundations and Skillful Teacher Sessions
To support new faculty during their first year at APU, CTLA has created the Faith Integration and Skillful Teacher sessions, offered as a semester-long series of workshops. Faculty are required to sign up for both sessions but can choose to enroll either in the Fall or the Spring. All sessions will take place in ZOOM from 2:30pm- 4:00pm.
