The CTT and its partners provide opportunities to learn about specific pedagogical interventions, new technologies to support teaching, and to engage in lively discussions of effective pedagogy with colleagues from across the disciplines. We create workshops for the campus as a whole and also customize workshops for colleges and departments. Contact us for more information and check our calendar for upcoming workshops.
Workshop participants will use student-centered pedagogy to integrate sustainability and resilience concepts into curricular experiences, earning a small stipend upon successful completion of the program. The workshops will be used to create curricular materials that will include assessment rubrics. Materials will be deployed in Fall 2022 courses. Application deadline: January 22, 2022.
