Upcoming Events
Essentials of Teaching and Learning
Essentials of Teaching and Learning workshops offer new or developing graduate student instructors approaches to better facilitate student learning and improve teaching practices. Join us at any one of these foundational workshops to deepen insight that you have started to develop at teaching orientations or in early teaching experiences. Register now, as Essentials workshops fill up early!
Attending this workshop and posting reflections satisfies a Foundational Track requirement for participants in the Teaching Development Program (TDP).
Upcoming Essentials Workshop: Creating Inclusive Learning Environments
Date: Tuesday, September 10
Time: 10:10 AM – 11:40 AM
Location: 203 Butler Library
Showcasing Your Teaching Development
Last year CTL launched the Teaching Development Program (TDP), a new way for doctoral students to document and articulate their teaching development at Columbia. Completion of foundational or advanced tracks in the TDP is certified by the CTL and noted on transcripts in some schools. For more information or to register, see here.
This session is for current and prospective participants in the TDP who are interested in learning more about the program, mapping out strategies for track completion, setting up or filling in TDP digital teaching portfolios, and/or more strategically highlighting teaching development within job searches. Students currently in the TDP program as well as those thinking about jumping in are invited to join us. A light lunch will be available to registrants.
Date: Friday, September 6
Time: 12:10 PM – 1:25 PM
Location: 203 Butler Library
Writing Your Teaching Statement
Are you drafting a teaching statement for the academic job market? Participants in this workshop will have a hands-on opportunity learn the elements of an effective teaching statement, analyze sample statements, and engage in activities to kick-start the writing process.
