Course Design Seminar (for Graduate Students)

Are you interested in designing a syllabus for a course you plan to teach? Are you approaching the job market and looking to demonstrate how you approach teaching within your discipline by creating a syllabus to submit with your materials? Apply to the Course Design Seminar to explore evidence-based, inclusive instructional design practices and create a learner-centered syllabus of your own design. In this four-week seminar, participants apply the principles of backward design and inclusive teaching to develop context-specific learning objectives, aligned and scaffolded assessments, and a range of engaging activities that facilitate student learning within the context of a single course. This seminar is presented as a learning community in which participants give and receive peer feedback on in- and out-of-class assignments. Participants who attend all workshops and complete all assignments will receive a letter from the CTL certifying completion. Completion of this seminar also fulfills the Intensive Seminar requirement of the Advanced Track of the Teaching Development Program. Meetings will be Thursday 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, and 10/31, 5-7pm, 212 Butler Library. Applications will be accepted through October 4. Application link here: https://forms.gle/AHj3axYweqKqpue7A.
