What is the Professional Teaching Program (PTP)?
The Center for Teaching and Learning offers the Professional Teaching Program (PTP) to assist new faculty members in developing and improving their professional teaching abilities. The PTP consists of several teaching-related workshops and individual coaching sessions. New KU faculty members are required to complete the PTP program requirements by their reappointment year (usually the 3rdyear).
