Support and Development at UNH

You're not alone as you work to ensure your students' success. UNH provides staff, resources, and opportunities to support you. 


 

Educational Excellence & Effectiveness (E3) provides programming, resources, and consultation to support evidence-informed teaching practices that support learning. More broadly, the Educational Excellence & Effectiveness team seeks to create conditions where high-quality data and information are readily available to give evidence to 1) our assumptions, 2) needed change, 3) assessing the impact of changes, and 4) inspirations for future focused planning.  Doing so supports and promotes the practice of evidence-informed self-study to inform decision-making and preparedness for the future.
