Dear Colleagues,
The Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) warmly invites the campus community to the annual Teaching and Learning Conferenceon Friday, May 3, 2024 at the International House. This event aims to foster a community of colleagues engaged in effective teaching and learning on our campus and present model cases of educators experimenting with a diverse range of teaching and learning strategies.
CTL is accepting presentation proposals from all members of the UC Berkeley teaching and learning community, including, but not limited to, Senate and non-Senate faculty, instructional staff, and Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs).
For this event, our theme is “Inclusive Teaching is Effective Teaching: Sharing Inclusive Teaching Strategies to Advance Equity.” Some examples of questions that proposals might address include:
- What does inclusive teaching look like…
- in your classroom and/or discipline as an instructor OR student?
- in the ways you support instructors to enhance students’ learning and experiences?
- As an educator or student, what skills did you find yourself needing to develop or refine in order to cultivate an inclusive environment?
- How have you (re)discovered and sustained your commitmentto inclusive teaching?
- How do you assess student learning in ways that recognize and affirm multiple voices and perspectives?
- How do you use technology to cultivate an inclusive classroom environment?
- When and how do you go beyond inclusive teaching to support your peers, students, or instructors
Proposals in alignment with this theme may be especially competitive, but we will consider any and all submitted presentation proposals.
For more information regarding proposal guidelines and expectations, please review the Call for Proposals. The deadline to submit a proposal is Wednesday, March 13. Please review the Teaching and Learning Conference page on the CTL website to learn more as well as to register for the event.
