Jeff Allred replied to the topic question about observations in the forum Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTL’s) 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Bill Bernhardt replied to the topic tech fee proposals in the forum Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTL’s) via email 4 months, 2 weeks ago

The essential thing to keep in mind is that the Student Tech fee exists for the purpose of helping students. Therefore, any proposal that does not include a direct benefit to students (even if only small group of students) will probably not get funded. Further, if some of the money is going to be spent on hiring students, that is a plus.

Jim Berg started the topic tech fee proposals in the forum Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTL’s) 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Hi all, it’s coming time to prepare proposals for Student Technology fees for next year. I did a quick look around college sites and see some past proposals for CTL activities or faculty development efforts. What types of projects are people thinking of proposing for next year that you are willing to share?

Mari Watanabe-Rose replied to the topic question about observations in the forum Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTL’s) 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Hi Jeff,

Hostos has been implementing a thoughtfully designed peer observation program. I learned about this at the CUE Conference last year. Jacki DiSanto is leading the program (she was actually one of the presenters at the CTL Retreat last month), and she’s happy to talk to you about it.

Jim Berg replied to the topic question about observations in the forum Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTL’s) 5 months, 1 week ago

That came up in a faculty discussion last week, and our CETLS at BMCC doesn’t currently do observations. We’re hoping to add a peer group trained to do non-judgmental feedback, as we do in our Teaching Academy.

This article by Kathleen Brinko was suggested as part of the discussion we…[Read more]

Jeff Allred started the topic question about observations in the forum Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTL’s) 5 months, 1 week ago

Friends,

I’ve been talking with a friend in the Provost’s office at Hunter about how to improve/expand feedback loops for teaching. She pointed me to an approach used at other campuses in which CTLs offer “formative assessments” (to use the lingo) early in the semester, visiting ongoing classes and talking with small groups of students about…[Read more]
