CETLI Events Calendar

In introductory chemistry courses, our students arrive on the  first day of class with a broad range of problem-solving skills, prior chemistry background, and commitment to learning. Many of our students are actually in the course against their will, and even our best students have conceptual misunderstandings that must be dislodged in order for them […]

A crucial step in preparing a class is having grounded expectations about your audience. In business school classes, those audiences include both undergraduate and MBA students, who have starkly different backgrounds and needs. Join us for a workshop with Dr. Ryan Dew of the Marketing department on his experience as an assistant professor teaching the […]

How do I talk about sensitive topics with students who come to my course with varying identities and lived experiences that shape their engagement? In this workshop we will discuss what kids of prompts and ways of being as an instructor can support students’ ability to be vulnerable in our courses. We’ll consider how to […]

Advanced quantitative classes present massive barriers to entry for even quantitative students. That has not prevented Dr. Peter Fader’s Applied Probability Models in Marketing course from becoming one of the most enduringly popular, and consistently challenging, courses among undergraduates and MBAs in Wharton. This workshop will cover how Dr. Fader designed his course, as well […]

This workshop explores teaching architectural design as well as history and theory as a practice of exit—one that convenes spaces of collective study, engages with movements for liberation, and imagines strategies for stepping beyond the institutions of the modern-colonial world-system. Through examples from his own teaching experience, Eduardo Rega Calvo will discuss ways to create […]

This workshop will introduce instructors to the principles of trauma-informed teaching and facilitate discussion around fostering trauma-informed classrooms. Facilitators will motivate the importance of these practices based on teaching experiences both inside and outside of the prison classroom, highlighting the positive impacts that these techniques have on students. Participants will leave with actionable plans for […]

In this workshop, we discuss the practice of live coding — where the instructor writes code in real-time in front of students — through the lens of senior lecturer Harry Smith's experiences with integrating this technique into his classes. Questions we examine may include: What are the benefits and risks of live coding? What kinds […]

Teaching statements—sometimes called statements of teaching philosophy—are documents required of most candidates on the academic job market. As the name implies, teaching statements describe a candidate’s approach to pedagogy and are often supplemented with examples drawn from the recitations, lectures, office hours, labs, and classrooms in which a candidate has taught. This exploratory workshop gives […]

Inquiry-based learning gives students the opportunities to develop their own questions on the course material and engage in open-ended investigations of these questions. In this workshop, participants will work through how to develop inquiry-based lesson plans for their own particular class needs. This is a hands-on workshop, and participants should come with a prepared lesson […]

Which pedagogical models have shaped you as an educator, whether consciously or unconsciously? What can we learn—and unlearn—from our own experiences as students? Professor Fabricius will discuss uncovering the pedagogical thinking that has influenced us, and how we can use this knowledge to inspire the way we want to teach. All graduate students are welcome. […]

The case study is one of the most idiosyncratic tools of business pedagogy. Whether due to their heavy reliance on industry jargon, open-ended questions and variety of solution approaches, business case studies may be starkly different to what students and instructors are used to in other disciplines. In this workshop, Dr. Barbara Kahn of the […]

Teaching your own research can enhance course material and demonstrate the utility of the course concepts, but how do you distill complex ideas into manageable teaching points? In this workshop, participants will discuss how to deliver lessons that are informed by your audience’s previous knowledge of the subject matter. Participants will also get to practice […]

University classrooms are not isolated from the broader political climate. Students inevitably bring their personal experiences, perspectives, and evolving political commitments into the classroom, even in courses that seem “apolitical.” As educators, we are called to create classroom environments where students can participate freely while ensuring that discourse remains respectful and constructive. This workshop will […]

As artificial intelligence applications have taken the business world by storm, they have also quickly propagated through business education. In this workshop, Dr. Stefano Puntoni, one of the world’s leading experts on user-AI interactions, will guide a discussion group on the challenges and opportunities of AI usage in the classroom. Topics will range from how […]

We will outline a service-oriented paradigm for mentorship that reframes what […]

It can be difficult to balance being a teaching assistant with all the other responsibilities that come with being a graduate student, such as research and taking classes. In this workshop, a panel of experienced TAs will discuss how they managed to find a balance and answer questions you may have. All graduate students are […]
