Supporting excellence in teaching and learning at Iowa
Welcome to the second edition of the Center for Teaching Newsletter!
In celebration of this new monthly tradition, we are thrilled to share that we have updated our bios to provide deeper insight into the team that is here to support you.
As experts in the scholarship of teaching and learning, facilitators, and experienced college instructors, the Center for Teaching staff uses research and theory to design and lead programs that center excellence in teaching and learning. As scholar-practitioners in the field of educational development, we work with individuals, programs and departments, colleges, and university-wide. Have a question or an idea? Need a thought partner? Get in touch with us!
- Request a sparkshop, workshop, or workshop series: Center for Teaching staff partner with colleges, departments, and units to offer tailored programming by request. Contact us at teaching@uiowa.edu.
- Request a one-on-one consultation: Need a thought partner for a teaching idea or challenge? Center for Teaching staff consult on course design, student motivation, inclusive pedagogy, assignments, grading, teaching statements, student feedback, active learning, and more. Contact us at teaching@uiowa.edu.
Whether you are a seasoned educator or just starting on your teaching journey, we are here to help. Our team has expertise on active learning, course design, curriculum design, scholarship of teaching & learning (SoTL), assignment and assessment design, DEI pedagogies, TA development and mentorship of TAs, early-career faculty development, and more.
Our goal is to support both individual instructors and shape a higher education landscape in which they can thrive. We hope you’ll join us in working to build a culture that not just recognizes but celebrates teaching excellence.
We invite you to share this newsletter with someone and encourage them to sign-up to get in on the conversation.
