Teaching Excellence

OPE supports excellence in teaching and learning across Davenport. 

  1. We administer the Wynalda Fund for Faculty Professional Development and lead the annual Wynalda Teaching and Learning institute, an internal academic conference featuring invited speakers, breakout sessions, and opportunities for collaboration.  Named in memory of Marian Wynalda Davenport this event is sponsored by an endowment from the M.E. Davenport Foundation.

  2. OPE supports excellence in teaching at Davenport through a robust inventory of online teaching resources and customized Faculty Day workshops to support discipline and course-specific needs.
