SUMMARY:Course Design Institute: August 5 - 14
DESCRIPTION:This intensive course design institute\, spread out over 2 weeks\, will guide participants in planning and preparing to teach a course that is supported by the latest research in teaching and learning. During the CDI\, facilitators will model and discuss a range of tools and strategies that can enhance your instruction\, ensure alignment between course goals and assessments\, and establish an inclusive and engaging learning environment for your students. \nParticipants who fully engage in the program will leave with a significant portion of their course planning finished\, including clearly delineated learning goals\, an assessment/assignment plan\, a draft of the syllabus and course policies\, and a detailed plan for the first day of class. \nThe CDI will be conducted through a combination of daily self-paced learning modules in Canvas and 4 synchronous Zoom meetings (1 hour each). Overall time commitment for participating includes 4 hours of live engagement\, plus an average of 1-2 hours each day for asynchronous work in Canvas (reading\, watching videos\, working on drafting aspects of your course). \nThe content for the two-week August CDI is the same as our previous one-week versions\, but we have spread it out over two weeks based on participant feedback to allow for deeper engagement with the material. \nLive sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00am to 11:00am via Zoom (Tuesday\, August 5th\, Thursday\, August 7th\, Tuesday\, August 12th\, and Thursday\, August 14th). \nTo participate\, faculty must commit to attending three of the four live sessions. \nProgram Learning Objectives\nParticipants will:\n\nLearn about and employ backwards design to develop a course plan;\nDesign\, develop\, and build materials for their course including learning goals\, assessment plan\, syllabus\, and more;\nDiscover strategies for helping students thrive\, including ways to promote meaningful interaction and support equitable learning; and\nExperience Canvas from the perspective of a student in a course.\n\nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty at WashU. If you are a graduate student who will be an instructor of record in an upcoming semester and would like to participate\, please contact the CTL for next steps. A limited number of spots will be available for graduate students who are getting ready to teach independently. \nQuestions? Contact us at ctl@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Summer 2025 Faculty Reading Community (FRC)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \nThe featured book for the Summer 2025 Faculty Reading Community will be Elizabeth Norell’s recently published The Present Professor: Authenticity and Transformational Teaching. Amid the current crises of higher education\, this timely book offers much-needed guidance for cutting through the emotional static that can hold teachers back from fully engaging with their students. Norell explains how an educator’s presence\, or authenticity\, can be critical to creating transformational spaces for students. And presence\, she argues\, means uncovering and understanding one’s own internal struggles and buried insecurities—stresses often left unconfronted in an academic culture that values knowing over feeling. Presenting research on how and why such inner work unlocks transformational learning\, The Present Professor equips educators with the tools for crafting a more authentic presence in their teaching work. \nDr. Norrell will join our group for a discussion of her work on June 18. \nParticipants are required to attend 3 of 4 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode: The Summer Faculty Reading Community will meet via Zoom. \nMeetings will be from 11:00AM-noon on the following Wednesdays: \n\nJune 4. Chapter 1: Presence Defined and Chapter 2: Relational Teaching and Presence\nJune 11.  Chapter 3: Academic Culture and Chapter 4: A Dozen Present Professors\nJune 18: Chapter 5: Mindfulness\, or Getting Quiet with Yourself and Chapter 6: Movement\, Clarity Through Embodiment\nJune 25: Chapter 7: Playing Big\, Chapter 9: Confronting our Biases and Chapter 10: A Roadmap Forward.\n\nThe summer reading community will be facilitated by Eric Fournier\, Director of Educational Development. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Dr. Eric Fournier (efournier@wustl.edu) \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Tabletop Escape Rooms for Engaged Learning: A Hands-on Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Escape room games and puzzles are fabulous ways to engage students in authentic learning\, but they can seem daunting in terms of the technology and effort involved. In this hands-on workshop\, you’ll have a chance to design (mostly) analog activities for your courses. We’ll start with a brief overview of why puzzles and games are effective learning tools\, followed by an example of a tabletop escape room built around historical sources. We’ll then provide ideas\, templates\, and materials for you to build your own tabletop escape game during our session! \nIf you have questions about this session\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Language Teaching Spring Showcase Show & Tell 2025
DESCRIPTION:The CTL and Coalition for Language Teaching & Learning invite language instructors from across departments to participate in our Spring Showcase Show & Tell Event on Friday\, April 4th from 3:30-4:30pm\, with happy hour to follow from 4:30-5:30pm. This event is meant to be a fun\, low-stress (post-Spring Break) opportunity for language instructors to get together\, share\, and learn from each other. \nThis event will feature participants briefly sharing a favorite activity that fosters intercultural competence that might transfer to other language-teaching contexts. \nAll participants will create a single PPT slide that includes your name\, a brief description of the activity\, the level of course the activity is appropriate for\, and what you see as its benefits. The slide need not be fancy! Participants will share their ideas and each PPT slide will be collected and redistributed together with the others as a single PDF to all event participants as a “resource gallery” for future use. \nAll language instructors including faculty\, postdocs\, and grad students who are teaching independently\, are welcome to participate. If you can’t make it for the whole hour\, you are welcome to still participate when you can. Advance registration is required. All attendees must plan to bring an activity to share. \nFor questions about the event\, please email Elina Salminen at elinasalminen@wustl.edu. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this event has now closed. If you’d like to participate\, email Elina Salminen directly.

SUMMARY:Public-facing Writing\, with Students: An Alternative Collaborative Writing Assignment
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever had something interesting or unexpected happen in your course that you felt could be captured and reflected upon further? Or have you ever had a class just gel so well that you could imagine doing a group project together in lieu of a previously planned formal assignment? In this workshop\, Christopher Schaberg\, Director of Public Scholarship\, will share his experiences writing collaboratively with students and then getting this work published in general audience venues. While this alternative kind of writing with students can be scary and unpredictable\, it can ultimately give students a dynamic\, real-world experience with writing collaboratively – guided by their professor\, but working with professional editors and encountering public audiences\, along the way. We’ll discuss the positive results\, such as students seeing a real editing process take place\, and we’ll also reflect on how this can infuse joy into our work as instructors (and get us a byline!). You’ll also have the opportunity to share early ideas or ask questions about how this kind of alternative assignment might be able to fit into your courses. \nIf you have questions about this session\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Elevating Creativity in the Classroom

We’ll cover how collaboration\, testing and re-testing ideas\, prototyping concepts\, overcoming fears\, venturing guesses\, thinking divergently\, and the creative process in general are applicable to nearly ALL disciplines. Along  the way\, we’ll learn about how to ‘elevate and celebrate’ creative intelligences in our students as well as in ourselves. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration
