The New Faculty Teaching Engagement (NFTE) program is an annual orientation that is focused on teaching. It welcomes all faculty and lecturers new to UCLA, whether they have teaching experience elsewhere, teaching experience as a graduate student only, or very limited teaching experience. This year's NFTE will take place on Monday August 29 at the Luskin Conference Center (with remote contingency plans) and on Tuesday August 30 via Zoom.
The goal of the program is to situate teaching in the context of UCLA’s educational mission and prepare new faculty and lecturers to apply evidence-based teaching practices that help foster equitable and effective learning for UCLA students. We also hope to provide an opportunity to connect with other faculty, to connect names and faces with resources on campus, and to communicate that teaching matters at UCLA.
We would love for you to join us to discuss teaching at UCLA. We recommend you attend all sessions, but you are welcome to attend any. We hope that you will find the NFTE as “nifty” as we do.
