News from CTL

October brings us to the midpoint of fall semester. See below for a variety of resources to support student learning. In addition, what can you do this month to maintain or adjust your current practices?

We encourage you to look for one or two opportunities of interest in this full month of CTL programming. This semester's theme is Genuine Intelligence: Demystifying Technology as a Teaching Tool.

Are you starting your graduate school journey this year? Are you in a five-year program or a one-year program? Wherever you are on your journey as a graduate student, mentoring is key to success in your program.

The Inclusive Course Design Institute is a two-week intensive institute designed to help new and experienced Assistant Instructors who will be developing their own syllabus for a course for the first time.

It now officially feels like summer. We hope you are finding times of rest and joy in the midst of ongoing projects or time for leisure. See below for CTL celebrations, opportunities for graduate students, and the latest updates from the Provost's Teaching Fellows and Academic Technology.

What better way to start a Friday morning than eating breakfast tacos, playing with spaghetti, and talking about teaching? In its first in-person iteration in three years, the 7th Annual Graduate Teaching Showcase did not disappoint.

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is partnering with the Graduate School and UT Libraries to host our 7th Graduate Teaching Showcase which highlights excellent graduate student teaching at UT Austin. The centerpiece of the Showcase is a series of personal narratives about teaching presented by students from across campus.

Like everyone, we've been on a roller coaster. Some of our team members are only now getting power restored to their homes. At the same time, we are so excited that Texas Teach-Up is starting today! In the midst of it all, we're grateful for this UT Austin community that inspires and sustains us.

The Center for Teaching and Learning eagerly returns to our Inclusive Teaching and Learning Symposium where we invite you to Pause for Pedagogy. This year’s event will focus on promoting inclusive and transformative pedagogy through panels and communities of practice. Submit your proposal by October 10.

We hope the start of the semester is progressing with abundant amounts of curiosity, collaboration, and fresh insight. As always, contact us if we can support your teaching and learning journey.
