Active Learning Trek

Elevate your students’ experience with the active learning trek! This trek will help you build student retention, motivation, knowledge transfer, and community building in the classroom. Experience the trek’s lasting impacts by using it to support tenure and promotion dossiers, fellowship applications, and teaching award submissions. Generally considered a foundational route, this trek contains many small, scaffolded steps to ease you into new ways of facilitating student learning. This ~1 semester trek helps you reach the summit of transformative teaching in ways that are accessible and conscientious of climber time constraints.

This trek is open to all adjunct faculty, teaching faculty, tenure-track/tenured faculty, and professors of practice. Full-time faculty who complete the trek requirements will receive $500 in PD/RD funds.

Are you a graduate student or postdoc who is interested in teaching and learning? The College Teaching Certificate (CTC) Program is a yearlong, application-based learning cohort that is open to any and all graduate students and postdocs who are interested in developing their teaching practice within the contexts of higher education. Participants will leave the program with hands-on teaching experience and a diverse portfolio that includes a teaching statement, a sample lesson plan, and an original course syllabus. With an emphasis on peer learning and review, the CTC program is specifically designed to foster community and mentorship among graduate students and to provide participants with well-rounded professional development for a future teaching career in higher education.
