The Center for Teaching and Learning offers a variety of events throughout the year. From New Faculty Orientation to the Annual Teaching and Learning Conference, CTL supports instructor development by sharing what we know about student learning and inviting innovative instructors to share their best strategies. The Center is always looking for interesting topics. If you would like to coordinate with CTL to host a teaching related event, reach out to us at designhelp@cortland.edu
CTL offers a variety of short teaching effectiveness SPARK. These virtual workshops last 30 minutes. In the first fifteen minutes, the presenter shares an innovative teaching method, a novel use of learning technology, a successful assessment technique, or an overview of a pressing topic in teaching and learning. In the second fifteen minutes, the participants ask questions, share ideas and feedback, and discuss how they might adapt their teaching with the new information.
