This Week for Graduate Students: Apply now for CTL’s Inclusive Teaching Seminar!
Spring 2021 Inclusive Teaching Seminar
Conversations about inclusive teaching are increasingly more common on college campuses. Instructors are tasked with understanding and responding to issues of diversity in their classrooms and with articulating their own approach to teaching with an inclusive framework. How can we create classroom environments that set up all students for success? How can we help our students learn through the diversity of experiences and perspectives they bring to the classroom?
Join us for an in-depth series of workshops coordinated with Inclusive Teaching: Supporting All Students in the College Classroom, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) produced by the CTL that explores the principles and frameworks that define an inclusive teaching practice. The discussion series consists of 6 sessions, each one debriefing a module of the MOOC. You may participate in the full series or attend individual workshops. Applications will be accepted through February 3.
Dates: Wednesdays: February 10, 17, 24; March 10, 17, and 24
Time: 4:00 PM–5:30 PM ET
Microteaching Practice Online
Want to practice a new in-class activity or just get some more practice before teaching in your virtual classroom? Join peers in an online Microteaching Practice session where you will divide into groups of 3-4 with a facilitator and take turns delivering short samples of instruction to each other. After each teaching sample, your facilitator and your peers will offer structured feedback to support your teaching. Whether you are currently teaching at Columbia or not, all graduate students looking to practice teaching are welcome to attend this Microteaching Practice session.
Date: Thursday, January 21
Time: 3:00 PM–5:00 PM
