Axe ’Em, Jacks!
The learning experience design team offers confidential individual consultations to faculty members, instructors and teaching assistants who wish to discuss specific teaching concerns and effectiveness as they relate to a particular class or classes. As part of the consultation process, you may request a classroom observation, either with a CTL staff member attending a class for a day or by submitting a video recording. We can also provide and discuss additional resources on teaching methods. Consultations are confidential, non-evaluative and free of charge.
Why request a consultation?
Because you:
- would like to get new perspectives on your teaching, discuss alternate approaches and new ideas, and/or expand your repertoire of teaching strategies.
- would like to discuss other aspects of instruction and course management. For example, we can assist you with planning a course, creating a syllabus, working with problem students, planning a single activity, or assessing student learning.
- want to discuss issues relating to a class you are teaching and feel that you would be unable to do so with departmental colleagues who might be involved with hiring, promotion or tenure-related activities.
- have specific questions and concerns related to teaching and learning.
Benefits of Individual Consultation
- Trying new approaches can be reinvigorating.
- Working through problem areas will decrease stress and make teaching more fun again.
- Participating in this activity can be documented on your annual report.
