We at the Center for the Advancement of Teaching believe effective teaching requires the continued practice of lifelong learning. Towards this aim, students who successfully complete the Teaching in Higher Education Certificate will develop the ability to:
Apply research on learning and adult development to teaching
Apply the principles of integrated course design to develop syllabi, assessments, and learning activities
Use a variety of research-based teaching methods to promote learning, development, and achievement of all students
Practice a reflective, purposeful, and learner-centered approach to teaching
This seminar addresses the research on how people learn and how to apply those findings to teaching in higher education. Course topics include: integrated course design, varied and inclusive teaching methods, assessing student learning, and reflective practice. The seminar is a prerequisite for Course 2: Teaching, Technology, Innovations.
