Teaching Resources

Faculty resources on teaching provide valuable support and professional development opportunities for educators to enhance their instructional practices. These resources often include workshops, seminars, and online courses designed to improve pedagogical skills, incorporate innovative teaching methods, and stay updated on the latest educational research and trends. Additionally, faculty resources may offer access to teaching consultants, peer mentoring programs, and teaching centers where faculty members can collaborate, exchange ideas, and receive guidance on effective teaching strategies.

Classroom Instructor Stations

The technology in our classrooms is controlled by an Instruction Station. The station is generally located as part of the desk, but may also be built into the wall. The stations will differ slightly from classroom to classroom, but this guide covers the functions.

Catalogs and Policies

  • Access the University Catalogs
  • University Academic Policies are part of the catalog and consist of several different publications that cover topics such as Grading, Graduation Procedures, Registration, and Transfer Policies.

Classroom Engagement Opportunities

  • Classrooms can partner with CARE Services in a multitude of ways: by hosting Homelessness Awareness Week (HAW) community speakers, hosting a CARE Services event, assisting with planning for our designated events, or by signing up for a pantry sorting shift. 
  • Advisors from the Department of Career Planning & Development (CPD)  are available to present to your classes for as little as 5 minutes and up to a full class session. Presentation topics include an overview of our services and resources, how to participate in an internship or co-op experience, and "how to" presentations on resume writing, interviewing, and preparing for a job fair.

    We can also connect you with employers who would love to come and speak with your class.

  • All Health Promotion & Wellness programs are facilitated by certified peer health educators, registered dietitians, or professional health educators and are approximately one hour in length. However, the program can be tailored to fit your specific needs.

    If you are interested in requesting a program, please complete a request form and submit to Health Promotion and Wellness at least 3-4 weeks prior to your event.

  • In the Library Experience Asynchronous Program, you'll find a series of online modules on this page that will introduce you to what the library has to offer.

Student Disability Services

Student Disability Services (SDS) is the first contact for students with disabilities to arrange accommodations and locate campus and community resources. To access accommodations, students must first connect with SDS and provide the appropriate documentation as outlined by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Documentation submitted to SDS remains confidential within SDS and is not shared with third parties without written permission from the student. SDS assists in identifying appropriate accommodations and it is the student’s responsibility to submit notice of accommodations to instructors and campus departments as needed.
