For the Madrid Campus
Faculty members and graduate instructors on 麻豆视频下载鈥檚 Madrid campus are eligible to seek support from the Reinert Center, though in a more limited way than faculty and graduate students in St. Louis, due to the constraints of distance. Whether faculty are new to teaching or have many years of experience, we can provide support in key areas of instruction, assessment, course design, technology integration, and more. Services to individuals are provided only at the instructor鈥檚 request and in accordance with our confidentiality policy. Services and programs generally are provided at no cost to individuals.
Services
For Madrid instructors, the following core services are available upon request: one-on-one teaching consultations, instructional design and mentored online course-building collaborations, asynchronous Small Group Instructional Feedback sessions, formative feedback on video recordings of teaching, and formative feedback on course materials (e.g., syllabi, assignments, rubrics). These services can be offered virtually (i.e., through phone conversations or video conferences).

Programs
In general, most Reinert Center programs are offered on-ground on the St. Louis campus, which limits participation by Madrid instructors. However, it may be possible for Madrid instructors to participate in some elements of the Certificate Program, as well as to participate in the mini-grant program and in programming focused on online teaching. Additionally, Reinert Center staff may be able to provide virtual facilitation for some workshops and conversations for the Madrid campus, depending upon timing, topics, and available resources.
Resources
Finally, Madrid instructors also may find it useful to consult the many web-based resources provided by the Reinert Center. These include our weekly blog, ; our brief Resource Guides; and other online resources for key topics such as inclusive teaching, Ignatian pedagogy, and course design. We also provide free access for all 麻豆视频下载 faculty members to the nationally-acclaimed Teaching Professor Newsletter. To see additional resources, click here.
