Course Design Intensives | Faculty Coaching for Student Learning

About Course Design Intensives

Course Design Intensives offers immersive, personalized coaching experiences for community college and undergraduate-focused university faculty across all disciplines.

With more than 10 years of experience in faculty professional development, I work closely with faculty to improve student learning through evidence-based teaching, equity-minded course design, and intentional alignment between learning objectives, assessments, and instruction.

Whether you are a new faculty member, mid-career instructor, or facing course redesign or assessment pressures, you are in the right place.

What We Can Work On Together

Developing, improving, or revising student learning objectives
Aligning learning objectives with quiz and exam questions
Collecting and reviewing data on student learning objectives

Improving lecture videos for clarity and engagement
Improving course layout and navigation in your LMS
Designing a focused, sustainable plan for future course improvements

Our work is designed to respect faculty time and workload by focusing on the changes that have the greatest impact on student engagement and learning.
