The deadline to apply for this year's Costa Rica Faculty Development Institute has been extended to June 24.
For the third year, the UMB Center for Global Engagement is excited to partner with the UMB Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning and the InterAmerican Center for Global Health to offer an immersive professional development program in Costa Rica for a select cohort of UMB faculty, postdoctoral, and staff members to globalize their courses, modules, tracks, clinical electives, or cocurricular programs.
From Dec. 7-14, 2024, selected fellows will engage in a series of interactive workshops on topics such as learning design and assessment, strategies to globalize curricula, ethical global engagement, incorporating active learning, inclusive classroom practice, and other topics. They must propose a global course, module, track, clinical elective, or co-curricular program that they will design in collaboration with skilled trainers during the workshop.
