SUMMARY:Less Intimidation\, More Fun: Wielding AI to Create Innovative Learning Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Creative learning activities\, such as escape rooms\, role-playing\, or customized case-studies\, can be meaningful and fun\, but they can also seem daunting because of the work involved. In this hands-on workshop\, we’ll explore how AI tools can spark creativity\, lighten your design load\, and help craft active learning ✨magic✨ – with you firmly in the driver’s seat. We’ll introduce some AI tools and helpful prompts\, guide you in identifying places where AI can add (rather than detract from) joy to your teaching\, and finally provide time to work with peers to craft your own activity. Come curious\, leave with ready-to-implement pedagogical fun! \nIf you have questions about this Teaching with Joy workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Breaking the Fluency Illusion: Teaching and Learning to Do Language Better Using an IPA (Integrated Performance Assessment) Framework
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic 90-minute workshop that introduces Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) and demonstrates how they can transform and improve language teaching and learning outcomes. We’ll begin with a quick exploration of a IPA-based\, semester-long podcast project as an example of how meaningful\, authentic tasks can drive student engagement. Then\, participants will be guided step-by-step through brainstorming and sketching their own IPA-structured project. Walk away with practical tools\, fresh ideas\, and a clear plan you can implement right away! Please note: This session is focused on language instruction\, so we ask that only instructors who teach (or will teach) languages sign up. \nMark Dowell started teaching Spanish in WUSTL-RLL in 2015 and has been teaching both Spanish and Portuguese classes here since 2018. \nIf you have questions about this workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Faculty Reading Community
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \n \nThe featured book for the Spring 2026 Faculty Reading Community will be Productive Failure: Unlocking Deeper Learning Through the Science of Failing by Manu Kapur. From the publisher’s website: Written by a leading global expert on human cognition\, productive failure\, and learning methods\, Productive Failure shows you how to design the experience of failing. Research shows that repeated experiences of intriguing\, constructive failure can help students (and our own children\, and anyone else we lead) develop creativity and learn more deeply. When carefully curated\, failure can become a signal for learning\, not the noise detracting from it. The result? Learners gain a lifelong readiness to push themselves outside of their comfort zones\, using setbacks as launchpads for learning and innovation. \nParticipants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode and Time: \nThe FRC will meet in person at 1PM on the following Fridays: \n\nJan. 30th\, 2026\nFeb. 13th\, 2026\nFeb. 27th\, 2026\nMarch 27th\, 2026\nApril 10th\, 2026\nApril 24th\, 2026\n\nOur meeting room will be on the Danforth campus and will be announced soon. \nThe Spring 2026 reading community will be facilitated by Natalie Monzyk\, Assistant Director of Educational Technology. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Natalie (monzykn@wustl.edu). \n

SUMMARY:Teaching Triangles Spring 2026 Application Deadline
DESCRIPTION:The Teaching Triangles program is a high-impact\, but low commitment\, peer classroom observation initiative to help faculty think through their teaching practices in a supportive environment. In Teaching Triangles\, faculty observe and are observed by two colleagues at least once over the course of the semester. Participants engage in non-judgmental\, formative feedback and discussion with other members of their Triangle following the observations. The CTL forms triangles and provides a structure for observation and reflection. Participants who fully complete the program will receive a $250 stipend.  \nThe deadline to apply to the Spring 2026 cohort of Teaching Triangles is January 11th. \nMore information can be found on the Teaching Triangles main page.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Art of Improv for Your Teaching and in Your Teaching
DESCRIPTION:How can the art of improv strengthen your teaching and support your teaching activities? Traditional approaches to teaching in the college classroom can often be stilted and scripted. Yet\, in order to respond to our students’ needs and draw them into the learning process deeply we need to be present\, flexible\, and responsive as instructors. Improv is a great theatrical tool to improve public speaking and listening skills as well as helping one think quickly on their feet. Improv skills also helps our students to build strong collaboration skills and encourages them to take risks in the classroom. In this workshop\, we’ll explore how to incorporate improv principles into both our teaching and our students’ learning. Be prepared to try out simple\, fun activities – zero acting skills or experience required!\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration
