New Faculty Orientation
New Faculty Orientation (NFO) is a probationary requirement for most new academic appointments.
It is an integral part of The Centre for Teaching and Learning's induction and support of all teaching staff, to enable academics to deliver world-class educational experiences.
NFO aims to familiarise new teaching staff with our unique learning environment and provide opportunities for professional development, networking and collegiality. The program is run over five full days. The first day of this orientation program is "Teaching Essentials".
