SUMMARY:Motivating Student Learners
DESCRIPTION:Students who are motivated learn more and learn better than those whose interests\, attention\, and self-esteem lag during the semester. In this workshop\, we’ll examine the various factors which shape student motivation in the classroom. We’ll then consider potential strategies for motivating students to stay engaged throughout the term and to persist throughout difficulties encountered in the course. \nFor information about this Advanced Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdocs\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Using the PAIRR Framework to Teach AI-Literate Writing
DESCRIPTION:This virtual conversation will explore the Peer and AI Review + Reflection (PAIRR) framework. This five-step process strategically integrates peer review with guided\, criteria-based AI feedback\, ultimately empowering students to become critically engaged users of AI. The PAIRR model emphasizes reflection\, helping students assess both human and machine suggestions to build stronger writing skills\, enhance metacognition\, and develop essential AI literacy. Attend this brief workshop to learn how to seamlessly adapt and implement this innovative approach in your own assignments. \nIf you have questions about this Virtual Conversation\, contact Anna Cunningham. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) seminar is designed to support graduate students and postdocs who are interested in deepening their involvement in and understanding of educational research. \nSoTL is a field of study dedicated to systematic and reflective inquiry of the effects of one’s teaching practices on student learning. SoTL incorporates knowledge from educational and cognitive psychology research\, and it leads to the dissemination of new knowledge. \nThrough biweekly synchronous meetings over Zoom and participating in asynchronous content during the Spring 2026 semester\, participants in the SoTL seminar will gain exposure to SoTL research from varied disciplines\, design a SoTL project\, and engage in conversation and build relationships with other seminar attendees. Learn more about the seminar and see descriptions of projects designed by past participants on the seminar’s main page. \nThe SoTL Seminar is open to advanced graduate students and postdocs at WashU. Interested graduate students and postdocs are highly encouraged to discuss their interest with a member of the Center for Teaching and Learning staff to ensure that the SoTL seminar will be the best fit for their needs. \nThe biweekly synchronous meetings will be on Thursdays\, 12-12:50pm starting on January 22nd\, 2026 and will continue throughout the Spring semester. \nPlease contact Rick Moore with any questions.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Team Based Learning (TBL)
DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about how to encourage students to come to class ready to engage actively with the material\, but wondering how to get started? Are you interested in incorporating more structured team learning into your teaching? Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a collaborative learning approach where students prepare to engage with course content before class and then spend class time working through application-based problems in teams. In this workshop\, faculty participants will learn about the benefits of using the core TBL structure\, while experiencing what it is like to be a student in a TBL classroom. Participants will also have the opportunity to brainstorm ways to incorporate the tenets of TBL into their own teaching.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Teaching What You Don’t Know
DESCRIPTION:Oftentimes\, in our AI teaching responsibilities or early teaching careers\, we may be called upon to teach content outside of our area of expertise. Maybe you are an ecologist assisting a microbiology course for the first time. Or a you are a literature scholar teaching writing for the first time. These teaching opportunities can be very exciting and cause a certain amount of uncertainty and anxiety. “What if students ask me a question I can’t answer?” “How do I maintain authority and confidence in the classroom space?” This Foundations in Teaching workshop will draw from the ideas of Therese Huston in her book Teaching What You Don’t Know and highlight teaching strategies to help you maximize every teaching opportunity.\n\n\n\nFor questions about this event\, please contact Eric Fournier. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Backward Design I: Introduction to Designing Learning Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Backward design is a key tool for designing effective learning experiences\, and it’s commonly used across many educational contexts to ensure your day-to-day teaching aligns with your goals. The approach moves from desired outcomes to assignments and activities\, which makes it a powerful framework for centering the key learning you want to see in your class (as opposed to the material that needs to be “covered”). It can be applied to everything from an individual lesson to an entire course. In this workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of the model and then apply it to your own teaching. You’ll write clear learning outcomes\, then start drafting an assignment based on those goals\, and finally brainstorm some activities that allow your students to practice the skills you want them to master. Participants in this workshop will have the option to join a second workshop\, during which they’ll have extended time to develop teaching materials using the framework.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Creating a Teaching Portfolio
DESCRIPTION:This Job Market series workshop will explore the ways in which graduate students and postdocs can frame their teaching experiences and teaching-related qualifications in a teaching portfolio for the academic job market. Participants will discuss the essential components of a teaching portfolio\, potential organizational structures and strategies\, the benefits and possible pitfalls associated with digital portfolios\, and how to provide a clear narrative that communicates evidence of your commitment to teaching.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Building Community and Civility in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In order for deep and effective learning to occur\, students must experience the classroom space as a place to take risks\, collaborate\, articulate ideas and be heard. In this workshop\, we will unpack terms such as community and civility\, highlight activities to build community and strategies to create and maintain a culture of civility in the classroom space.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration

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

SUMMARY:Preparing and Delivering a Teaching Demo
DESCRIPTION:A campus visit invitation from a search committee is welcome news\, but it often comes with a challenging request for a “teaching talk” or “teaching demo.” In this workshop\, participants will discuss what makes an effective teaching demonstration that is aligned with other teaching-related job market materials. Participants will learn questions to ask the institution before the visit\, how to design a talk that is appropriate for each audience and purpose\, and how to include student interaction and other methods of demonstrating your effectiveness as an instructor. \nIf you have questions about this session\, contact Eric Fournier. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Teaching a Laboratory Course
DESCRIPTION:Laboratory classes provide students with first-hand experience with course concepts and with the opportunity to explore methods used by scientists in their discipline\, presenting challenges and opportunities that differ from those in a standard classroom environment. This workshop is designed to help assistants in instruction plan for and successfully teach in the laboratory setting. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration
