Mon Dec 18 11:45:45 MST 2023

Happy Monday!

If you are drawn to any teaching or advising, This resource is for you!
CIRTL at cirtl.net.

- Learn about the theory and practice of effective teaching will make it
easier for you to write a* teaching statemen*t, talk about teaching in an*
interview,* and give a *teaching talk* at an interview. There is even a
workshop on preparing a teaching class for a job interview.

- You'll see the word "pedagogy" in the realm of teaching and learning.
"Pedagogy" is the approach to teaching, the theory and practice of
learning, and how this process influences, and is influenced by, the
social, political and psychological development of learners.

Here is their spring lineup, below.
