Destination

This annual professional development program brings Valencia colleagues together to explore teaching and learning innovations, challenges, and solutions. Each year's program will feature multiple experiences that will be valuable for faculty who have participated in Destination and those who are new to the experience. Join us this summer to explore teaching and learning innovations, challenges, and solutions with colleagues from diverse fields with varied experiences and interests. All Valencia faculty members, part-time and full-time, are encouraged to apply. 

All tracks will award $500 for successful completion. As with previous Destination sessions, professional development (PD) hours are not available for the summer portion of the program.

 


Be a part of Destination 2024!

This  experience comes to you in a mixed-mode format that provides a way for us all to reconnect. The sessions will consist of three face-to-face sessions and two asynchronous online sessions during five Friday afternoons of the summer term.
