Request Faculty Development for Your Department!

We can bring custom workshops or a "Faculty Friday" (a lunchtime opportunity to meet with your peers and talk about teaching) to your department or building! Contact us at facultydevelopment@academyart.edu or 415.618.3855.

Portfolio Rubrics:

Faculty Development has been working with Melissa Sydeman to get portfolio rubrics in place in all departments. Feel free to contact Faculty Development to help you refine your rubric, or to facilitate a norming session in your department.
