CETLI offers an Introduction to Teaching at Penn program to support new instructors as they prepare to teach their first courses here. This two-week online program offered in mid-August and mid-November will orient new faculty to some of the specifics related to teaching at Penn—including resources, policies, and relevant support offices—as well as guide faculty through a process of designing a course that meets instructors' goals and helps all students learn.
