Faculty in Residence

The Center for Teaching Excellence is excited to announce its Faculty in Residence Program. By providing faculty and staff with unprecedented access to some of Xavier's most talented and experienced teachers, this program is designed to encourage critical reflection on classroom teaching while supporting the intellectual community of the entire university.

The Faculty in Residence periodically opens his or her class to faculty observers. After each class, the Faculty in Residence will be available for a discussion of the class with the observers. This program offers the opportunity to observe the class of another faculty member from one's own or a different discipline, and to discuss with other faculty members some of the teaching strategies, methods and practices already being used by some of Xavier's most talented teachers.
