Faculty Spotlight

Elizabeth Cerkez, College of Science and Technology, Chemistry

"PTA gives you the time and space to think broadly and deeply about your role as a teacher over the course of several weeks. During the semester we are so focused on the daily and weekly to-do list, that there never seems to be the time to think creatively about teaching. The six weeks of PTA allows for reflection and brainstorming to improve our courses and our teaching. It is well worth the time."
