Register for Teaching Orientation for Grad Students!

CTL offers graduate student instructors orientations to learn about practical, evidence-based strategies that they can implement on the first day of class. These orientations help supplement department-based orientations and trainings. CTL orientations are open to all new teaching assistants, teaching fellows, and graduate students in an instructor role.

In Fall 2023, CTL is offering orientation materials as five online orientation modules, available anytime to graduate students. These modules help you plan for your teaching assignment, provide you with information about support resources, and offer models for getting off to an engaging, inclusive start with students. Access orientation modules now

CTL is also running a live debrief session for participants to discuss highlights of these modules, get individual feedback on policy sheets or first day of class plans, and engage in a general Q&A with CTL staff. Any current graduate student is welcome to attend. 

• Teaching Orientation Debrief Session – Thursday, August 31, 1:00 – 2:00 pm, 212 Butler Library
