Center for Teaching Excellence

2023 Faculty in Residence

Call for Nominations

Program Description

The CTE Faculty Advisory Group will select a single course that will be taught in CLC 308 and opened to groups of faculty observers on several occasions during the semester.

For this program, the CTE is especially interested in highlighting a course that incorporates innovative and evidence-based teaching methods. Have you redesigned a course based on principles informed by the scholarship of teaching and learning? Is there a creative, innovative class you would like to observe? Have you taken a great class that you think other faculty would benefit from observing? Please nominate a fall 2023 course using the form below.

All nominations are anonymous, and self-nominations are welcome. Not every great course is a good fit for this program, nor does every talented professor teach a course that would be a good match.

This program directly supports the CTE's mission, in particular its promotion of "effective teaching that is reflective, engaging, creative, and informed by both pedagogical and disciplinary knowledge."

What kind of course makes a good match?

  • Only fall 2023 courses will be considered.
  • The course must be able to be taught in CLC 308, a classroom seating up to 30 students and equipped with a computer podium, additional screens, and a large whiteboard.
  • The content of the course must be accessible to well-educated non-specialists. Graduate and advanced undergraduate courses that assume specialist knowledge are not likely to be a good match.
  • The course should be taught at a time when many faculty from all three colleges are on campus. Evening and weekend classes are not ideal, for this reason.
  • The course should incorporate innovative pedagogical approaches that are likely to stimulate faculty conversations about teaching.
