Participants will leave with effective lesson-planning strategies […]

Before we can guide students in navigating AI, we need to understand our own stance toward it. This interactive workshop invites graduate students to reflect deeply on their personal relationship with generative AI in teaching and learning. Through open conversation and collaborative activities, participants will examine ethical principles, transparency, and accessibility to consider how generative […]

In the age of AI, teaching students how to do their own quality research is more critical than ever. Participants in this interactive workshop will focus on ways to teach students in the social sciences how to do research. They will receive resources and engage in discussions to explore how to help students formulate a […]

This workshop will explore techniques for instructors in the History of Art and related fields in the humanities (often known for their pronounced elitism) to design welcoming courses with an equal opportunity for learning for students of different economic, academic, and cultural backgrounds. Professor Dombrowski will discuss his own background teaching introductory and advanced History […]

Balancing teaching alongside other graduate responsibilities can be challenging. In this workshop, participants will discuss techniques for remaining energized and positive in the classroom. Through collaborative conversations, participants will gather tangible strategies to cultivate passion for teaching amid daily obligations. Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.

This workshop examines the art of teaching research as both a process and a mindset. Through discussion and activities, participants will consider how to mentor students in designing studies, analyzing data, and communicating their findings with clarity and purpose. All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Immunology department, and […]

Teaching students with varied academic backgrounds and expectations creates opportunities for rich discussions, but it can also pose challenges for building a cohesive classroom community. In this interactive workshop, participants will consider why connections between students are essential for learning and will brainstorm strategies for fostering those connections. Through discussion and small-group activities, participants will […]

A teaching statement, or statement of teaching philosophy, is a common requirement on the academic job market.
