Carleton Certificate in University Teaching

The EDC is happy to be offering a spring session of the Certificate in University Teaching. We will be offering half-day sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m.).

The goal of this program is to provide participants a safe and supportive environment to enhance their appreciation of sound pedagogy, strengthen their teaching skills and explore new approaches to instruction.  Together these three areas will help instructors and faculty members become more efficient, effective and confident in enhancing the learning environment for their students.

The program includes 12 half day sessions that will give instructors the opportunity to:

• Explore traditional and innovative forms of instructional delivery
• Develop a framework to help design class lectures and activities
• Identify ways to enhance student engagement in their classes
• Develop effective assessment strategies
• Receive feedback from course facilitators and participants
• Benefits from in-depth conversations with fellow colleagues
• Arrange for individual consultation throughout the year with facilitators

Each of the 12 sessions reflects a theme that includes the presentation of information and participation in learning activities to enhance the concepts encompassing the theme. Specific themes in the program include:

• Planning effective instruction
• Exploring teaching methodologies
• Building effective assessment practices
• Managing the dynamics of both small and large classes
• Integrating various aspects of technology into courses
• Addressing issues of student diversity
• Examining issues around the evaluation of classroom teaching.
