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. […]

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 […]

This is part of a two part series on teaching undergraduates in the field and the lab, stay tuned for Part 2 with Biological Anthropologists and Members of the Center for the Analysis of Archaeological Materials on teaching lab based courses! Field courses and field methods courses are common at many universities and might be a […]

This workshop will feature a panel discussion on strategies for leading a classroom in English as an instructor who speaks English as a second language. All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the School of Nursing, and so may be most useful to students in related fields. This will be […]

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 […]

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 […]
