Teaching and Learning Collaboratory To support active and blended learning we provide faculty with resources that define various concepts and tools to use in their classroom that promote student participation and engagement with the course content, instructor, and students. Faculty Lunch and Learn Series The monthly Faculty Lunch and Learn Series features Rensselaer faculty sharing a variety of innovative pedagogical practices. Come learn about the many different approaches your colleagues are using to promote and engage successful student learning. New Faculty Orientation The Office of the Provost hosts New Faculty Orientation in August of each year. This orientation is the perfect opportunity to learn more about Rensselaer’s mission and values, while establishing relationships with your new colleagues.
