Hello, and welcome to Pratt!

Pratt's New Faculty Orientation is scheduled for Thursday, August 25, 2022 from 10 - 11:30 am (virtually, on Zoom). Additional sessions on various topics, including Canvas LMS training, Supporting Faculty and Learning Pedagogy will be scheduled throughout the semester. To attend the August 25th orientation call, please complete the information below.

The virtual orientation will be devoted to introducing you to Pratt Institute overall, the supports provided to faculty and students, as well as getting to know each other better while building continuous support and connections that will help you succeed in teaching, researching and thriving at Pratt.

Among other things, the Orientation and the Supporting Faculty Series will discuss:
• Supporting faculty in their teaching, with a focus on resources and training options available through the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and beyond. We’ll talk about how you can learn more about online pedagogies, the LMS, other tools and techniques to best support your online or hybrid teaching.

• Supporting student success, with a focus on the holistic support available to students in the form of academic and Student Life resources, the policies and processes that guide the work we all do, and the kinds of challenges that might come up specifically in these uncertain times.

• Supporting faculty in their creative work / research, with a message from Pratt’s Associate Provost for Research and Strategic Partnerships.

• We’ll provide you with resources to learn about Pratt’s system of shared governance and how you can participate in it.

Our goal is for you to leave the orientation series having learned some key things about how Pratt works as well as the resources we have to support you, and energized by the prospect of participating in the Pratt community.  

We look forward to seeing you!
