COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR TOOLS
Welcome to the MACEM&PS Faculty Resource Library!
Here you’ll find a compilation of resources to make the process of creating, managing, and teaching coursework at FCC easier. Some are drawn from various FCC sources, and some we developed ourselves within MACEM&PS! If you’re interested in scheduling additional support for these and other topics, or have other questions, please contact your MACEM&PS Program Manager.
In the meantime, feel free to review the available resources as often as you need. We hope they can be a meaningful part of your professional development, no matter what public safety subject (or subjects!) you may teach.
