Description:
This brief talk will introduce participants to some of the efforts UCSC’s Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning has undertaken in its first year of programming, including enhancing TA training, developing pedagogy certificates for graduate students, fostering Faculty Learning Communities, and encouraging the campus to redouble its efforts for classroom inclusivity and educational equity. We will then convene a conversation with the audience regarding how the CITL might best partner with STEM instructors to support active learning on campus.
