CETLI Events Calendar

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Classical Studies department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields. Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Annenberg School for Communication, and so may be most useful to students in related fields. Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Mathematics department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields. Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.

Communicating technical topics, whether in a classroom setting, a political setting, a social setting or even a technical setting with people who are not directly in one's field, presents many challenges. Different regions, professions, and specializations use different constructs for the same ideas.  Neglecting to acknowledge these differences as communicators creates divisions and misunderstandings leading […]

Teaching Demonstrations are important parts of campus visits that often get overshadowed by a candidate's job talk preparations. This workshop will introduce participants to the teaching demonstration as a genre, focusing specifically on the formal features that committees look for when they watch you give one. In addition to answering basic questions about what a […]

In this workshop, participants will explore how to structure assignments that are engaging and supportive for students. Participants will discuss case studies and assignment examples, and workshop their own assignments to develop strategies to make assignments clearer, more interesting, and ultimately more useful for both themselves and their students. Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate

Prof. Atwood will talk about how graduate students can present their work at conferences in a more accessible manner (which is not unlike delivering a lecture to a group of students), and how they can incorporate their research into their teaching. All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the East […]

Designing your own courses is an essential part of a career in academia. This workshop will explore the critical elements of course design. In particular, participants will reflect on common characteristics of well-designed courses and envision a syllabus for a course they would like to teach. Key considerations will include defining the course goals, structuring […]

It’s a cliché, but a true one, that the teacher is an eternal student. Professor Ockman will reflect, both historically and personally, on teaching architectural history and theory over the last four decades. What kind of knowledge does the teacher accrue over time? How is teaching always new? All graduate students are welcome. This event […]

In this workshop, participants will explore the current humanities job market and learn how to prepare for a humanities teaching-and-research position. To gain insight into the typical dossier requirements and hiring procedures, we will review various 2024-2025 humanities job advertisements for tenure-track faculty. Given the growing interests in positions at institutions in Asia, we will […]

Writing skills are frequently overlooked in STEM education, yet effective written communication is crucial for success in science and engineering. In this workshop, we will share, analyze, and discuss a case study from an upper-level/graduate STEM course that blends technical coursework with a writing-based project, with the goal of building student confidence and skill in […]

Theory is intimidating, regardless of how familiar one might be with it. What can we do to make it accessible—if not also exciting—for our undergraduate students? This graduate student workshop will tackle how to teach theory in the undergraduate classroom, focusing specifically on the role theory plays in discussion-based or seminar-style classes. All graduate students […]
