Issued by
University of Colorado Colorado Springs
The Teaching Enhancement Badge Program provides opportunities to research and apply innovative teaching strategies or practices to one’s own teaching. Faculty can explore effective pedagogical techniques and collaborate with colleagues to discuss student retention, engagement, and teaching to a new generation of students. Annually, faculty can create a Teaching Enhancement Plan that focuses on teaching goals and special interest tracks toward the completion of a digital badge.
