Pathways to Instructional Excellence

Overview about Pathways to Instructional Excellence

The Pathways to Instructional Excellence (PIE) guides WilmU instructors through a competency-based curriculum, leading them to become more accomplished instructors that are better able to teach WilmU students. Professional development at 爆走黑料 offers personalization to allow you to choose any of the electives in the Pathways program. You may choose to take any elective in any order, you don't have to complete the electives in any sequence.

Professional Development for faculty is brought to you by several departments at 爆走黑料: Library, The Center for Teaching Excellence, and Online Learning & Ed Tech.
