SUMMARY:Developing Effective Summative Assessments
DESCRIPTION:Summative assessments are designed to evaluate how much students have learned in a unit or a course. These assessments are often high-stakes\, graded\, and formal. The vast majority of college classes have summative assessments\, but what does it take to make a particularly effective one? In this advanced-level workshop\, we will discuss the benefits of using various assessment techniques (exams\, papers\, and alternative assessments) and aligning your assessments with course goals. Overall\, we will examine how to design an assessment so that it is a truly authentic measure of student learning in the course.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration\nAdvance registration for this event has closed. Please contact the facilitator(s) with requests to attend.

SUMMARY:Constructing a Sample Syllabus for the Academic 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.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration\nAdvance registration for this event has closed.

SUMMARY:Fall 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 Fall 2025 Faculty Reading Community will be The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger. From the publisher’s website: In these days of an ever-expanding internet\, generative AI\, and term paper mills\, students may find it too easy and tempting to cheat\, and teachers may think they can’t keep up. What’s needed\, and what Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger offer in this timely book\, is a new approach—one that works with the realities of the twenty-first century\, not just to protect academic integrity but also to maximize opportunities for students to learn. The Opposite of Cheating presents a positive\, forward-looking\, research-backed vision for what classroom integrity can look like in the GenAI era\, both in cyberspace and on campus. Accordingly\, the book outlines workable measures teachers can use to better understand why students cheat and to prevent cheating while aiming to enhance learning and integrity. \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: The Faculty Reading Community will meet in person on the Danforth Campus\, at 10-11am on the following Mondays: Sept 15\, 29; Oct 13\, 27; and Nov 10. \nThe Fall 2025 reading community will be facilitated by Natalie Monzyk\, Assistant Director of Educational Technology\, and Elina Salminen\, Assistant Director of Educational Development. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Natalie (monzykn@wustl.edu) or Elina (elinasalminen@wustl.edu). \n\nRegistration

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:AI Learning Community: Teaching with Custom AI Chatbots
DESCRIPTION:With generative AI making its way into all manner of domains\, educators have a role to play in teaching students how to use AI effectively and ethically\, as well as when to avoid using it altogether. One way we can exercise some agency in this work is to make use of custom AI chatbots. By designing interactive AI agents that fit our teaching goals\, might we be in a better position to help students learn with and about AI? \nThis learning community is for instructors interested in experimenting with custom AI chatbots in their teaching. We will look at tools for building chatbots\, from ChatGPT’s “GPTs” and Gemini’s “Gems” to education-focused platforms like BoodleBox and Cogniti. We will also explore use cases for custom chatbots in teaching and learning along with promising practices for using custom chatbots to support student learning. \nFormat\nSeven sessions on Zoom from 2:00 – 3:00 pm CST on the following Tuesdays:\n•September 2\, 16\, 30\n•October 14\, 28\n•November 11\n•December 2 \nA Teams environment will be available for notes\, questions\, comments\, collaboration\, and resource sharing. \nFor questions about this learning community\, contact Anna Cunningham. \nRegistration\nAdvance registration has ended. To attend\, contact the session facilitator.
