SUMMARY:Using AI as a Tool to Build Bridges for Neurodivergent Learners
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll explore how instructors can use interactions with AI as a lens to: 1) Transform our thinking about the needs of neurodivergent learners\, 2) Strengthen our instructional skill set\, and 3) Improve experiences for all students. After reviewing an example of this process\, participants will have the opportunity to use common AI tools to workshop one of their own assignments to be more accessible. Participants will leave with hands-on experience in designing clear\, neurodivergent-friendly assignments that they can immediately implement in their own classrooms. \nNote: This workshop will be facilitated in person on the Danforth Campus.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event has closed.

SUMMARY:Jump-Start to Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement Peer Writing Program Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:If you are applying for an academic position\, it is increasingly likely that you will be asked to submit a teaching philosophy statement during the application process. Yet\, setting aside the time to write your statement and obtaining feedback from colleagues can be challenging with a busy schedule. The Jump-Start to Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement Peer Writing Program offers the opportunity for advanced graduate students and postdocs to navigate the initial stages of drafting and revising their statements within a structured format and in a supportive environment. \nDuring the program\, participants will examine sample statements\, reflect on their teaching\, and write and revise three drafts of their teaching philosophy statements. Peer writing groups will offer feedback at each stage of the drafting process\, and Center for Teaching and Learning staff will be on hand to answer questions as well. Note that participants need not have a draft of their statement going into the program. \nParticipants must plan to attend all four virtual meetings on Wednesday afternoons September 3 –  24\, and must also have previously attended the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement workshop. Those who have not taken the workshop previously\, but who wish to participate in Jump-Start should plan to register for and attend the workshop prior to the beginning of the program. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:2025-2026 Graduate Student Mentored Teaching Orientation
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Teaching & Learning is pleased to host our annual university-wide Graduate Student Mentored Teaching Orientation for graduate students who will be serving as Assistants in Instruction during this academic year.  Our orientation program is a combination of asynchronous and synchronous sessions geared toward preparing you for your upcoming teaching role at the university.\n\nDuring orientation\, new Graduate Assistants in Instruction will:\n\nComplete our orientation Canvas course where you will learn about your instructional role as an AI; essential policies related to teaching at WashU such as to Title IX\, emergency preparedness; and what assistants in instruction can do to maintain a fair\, safe\, and inclusive environment for teaching and learning.\nParticipate in one online introductory Foundations in Teaching Workshop on topics such as effective strategies for active learning\, facilitating discussions\, classroom management\, presentation skills\, and providing feedback. These workshops will take place via Zoom.\nConnecting with Experienced Graduate Student Assistants in Instruction: New AIs will have the opportunity to hear from more experienced AIs on what they can expect of the AI experience—e.g. how to communicate with faculty and students\, what they can expect of WashU students\, what are the typical responsibilities of AIs in different types of courses.\n\n\n\nOrientation Program Overview\n\nConnecting with Experienced Graduate Student Assistants in Instruction on Wednesday\, August 20 at 12 noon\nThe CTL is hosting a hybrid panel discussion with experienced graduate student instructors from a variety of disciplines and departments on Wednesday\, August 20 in Brown 100.  Hear from some exemplary graduate student AIs about what to expect on the first day of class\, what has worked in the classroom\, and how to juggle responsibilities as a student and an AI.  You have the option to join in person or online!  For those joining us in-person\, there will be light refreshments and great teaching-related swag!  Or if you would like to join us remotely via Zoom\, at noon central time\, join https://wustl.zoom.us/j/92116571388\n\nThe Canvas Course\nThe orientation Canvas course features interactive video presentations on university policies and procedures on classroom instruction\, resources and guidance that will help you with some of the most common challenges involved in teaching and supporting students.  The Canvas course will be accessible to you in early August.  You are expected to complete it\, at the latest\, by Friday\, August 29. Plan to dedicate approximately 2 hours to complete the online course. I will send out a separate email confirming that you are have been enrolled in the GSTO Canvas Course.\n\nFoundations in Teaching Workshops\n(Register for one workshop; workshops will take place via Zoom)\n\nTeaching as an International Scholar\nThis workshop is intended for students who are new(ish) to teaching in the US and to the US educational system. Participants will learn about commonly reported experiences of international students teaching in the US\, discuss general classroom norms and expectations in the US higher education system\, and brainstorm strategies to navigate their role as instructors\nFacilitating Group Work\nEducational research suggests that students acquire and retain knowledge most effectively by engaging in collaborative learning groups with peers. In this workshop\, participants will practice and discuss strategies for effective implementation and facilitation of collaborative learning in an inclusive learning environment.\nImproving Presentation Skills\nIn this workshop\, AIs will learn strategies for improving the communication and performance skills that are essential for effective teaching—whether in a laboratory\, a discussion\, or a lecture. Topics will include: how to design presentations by shaping the content and structure to maximize student learning\, how to use visuals effectively\, how to practice and prepare for presentations in the classroom\, and how to use feedback to improve your performance.\nGrading & Responding to Students’ Concerns about Grades\nIn this workshop\, participants will learn how to grade effectively\, efficiently and fairly\, as well as how to communicate with students about grades.\nWho’s in Charge? Establishing Authority in the Classroom\nManaging a classroom environment can be one of the more intimidating components of teaching\, particularly when you are a first-time assistant in instruction (AIs).  In this workshop\, participants will learn about the factors that shape perceptions of a new instructor’s authority and how that authority can be used to create and maintain an academically rigorous\, productive and engaging learning environment.\n\n\n\nIf you are a first-time Graduate Assistant in Instruction and have not already received information from the CTL about how to register\, contact Dr. Denise Leonard as soon as possible to reserve your space in the program!

SUMMARY:Crafting a Sample Syllabus for the Job Market
DESCRIPTION:For teaching-focused positions\, it is common to be asked for a sample syllabus. In this workshop for graduate students and postdocs approaching the academic job market\, we will consider key aspects of sample syllabi to include\, as well as how to align sample syllabi with the needs of different kinds of positions. Utilizing the principles of backwards design\, we will also discuss where to start when trying to come up with a topics-based course. Note that this is not intended to cover the full course design process\, but is instead specifically for those who must develop a sample syllabus for their job market materials. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Collecting and Using Feedback Effectively
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on feedback about your teaching provides you with the opportunity to recognize what is working well and to make plans to address what could be improved. In this workshop\, we will start by discussing why feedback is important to your teaching beliefs and valuable for your students’ learning. Then we will spend some time determining what you are willing to do regarding feedback and what you need from your students in return. Finally\, we will have time for you to work on how to explicitly connect your feedback beliefs and practices to create an effective learning environment. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Applying Cognitive Science to Your Teaching: Retrieval Practice\, Spacing\, and Interleaving
DESCRIPTION:Understanding how students learn is an important part of being an effective instructor. In this workshop\, participants will examine how to translate three principles from cognitive science to their teaching: 1) retrieval practice—deliberately recalling information from memory\, 2) spacing—returning to a concept over time\, and 3) interleaving—switching between learning about similar ideas. We will consider ways to apply these principles to designing the structure of a course\, implementing in-class activities\, and creating homework assignments. \nIf you have question about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne. \nNote: This workshop is being offered as part of the “Developing Essential Teaching Skills” Workshop Series for Postdocs\nIf you have questions about the series\, Contact Lisa Kuehne or Peter Myers. \nRegistration\nSign up for this and/or other workshops offered as part of this series.

SUMMARY:Responding to Student Writing
DESCRIPTION:As AIs and instructors\, we dedicate many hours each semester to commenting on and evaluating student writing\, but is this feedback helping students to improve their writing and critical thinking skills the way that we want it to? In this workshop\, we’ll draw on writing pedagogy scholarship to confront the challenges associated with providing effective feedback to a variety of student learners as well as to identify strategies for developing a readerly approach to responding to our students’ writing. Further\, we’ll discuss the kinds of feedback that might be most helpful to students at different stages (planning\, drafting\, revising) of the writing process. Finally\, we’ll discuss a few strategies for encouraging your students to interact productively with your written feedback. \nIf you have questions about this advanced pedagogies workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration
