What's Inside

Preparing Future Faculty

Through its core courses – Teaching in Higher Education followed by a Practicum course – the Preparing Future Faculty Program provides a teaching and learning forum in which participants engage with a multidisciplinary, cross-cultural mix of masters students, doctoral candidates, and post-doctoral fellows. Participants discuss learning theory and strategies, develop teaching skills, create classroom and job search materials, and work with faculty from a range of institutional types.

International TA Program

The International TA Program provides nonnative English speaking graduate students with an opportunity to sharpen their use of discipline-specific English, master a variety of teaching and presentation strategies, and engage in meaningful analyses of the culture of teaching and learning at the University of Minnesota.

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.
