What's Inside

Early Career Series

Early career faculty can select from an array of professional development opportunities designed to support individual teaching goals. Offerings are designed to meet a variety of needs, ranging from one-time, individual consultations to yearlong workshops among a community of colleagues.

Mid-Career Faculty Learning Community

Mid-career faculty are uniquely positioned to explore innovations in teaching and learning within their respective disciplines and within the context of new initiatives at University of Minnesota. The Mid-Career Faculty Learning Community will bring together associate and full professors from across disciplines to provide structure and support to faculty exploring new methods related to their teaching practice.

Please Note: The Mid-Career Faculty Learning Community is fully enrolled for 2009-10.

Multi-Cultural Teaching and Learning Fellowship

The Multicultural Teaching and Learning Fellowships aim to support a wide range of multicultural teaching and learning projects – from those in incubation stages (thinking, researching, talking, reflecting) to those with ideas, materials, and analyses nearly ready to be shared with a range of academic and community groups.

August Teaching Enrichment Series

The Center for Teaching and Learning invites the University of Minnesota community to join us for the August Teaching Enrichment Series, an annual series of workshops highlighting best practices in teaching. Those new to teaching can learn about basic approaches to teaching, active learning techniques, and how to plan the first day of class. More experienced teachers can learn about emerging trends in teaching with technology, strategies for interactive lecturing, and managing challenging classroom situations. Choose among these workshop topics and others.
