Good teaching takes time, which is a precious resources limited in graduate school. This workshop will provide practical strategies to effectively balance the many responsibilities required for excellent teaching. 

This fall's CELT Book Club selection is "Hacking College: Why the Major Doesn't Matter - and What Really Does" by Ned Laff and Scott Carlson. This will be the topic of the plenary session for Tulane's Sparking Success Conference. Join Lauren Dunaway, Faculty Chair for the Sparking Success conference, to explore and apply Laff and Carlson's ideas to our own teaching.

Critical AI literacy means providing students with the skills to assess their engagement with various generative AI tools. In this session, Scholarly Engagement librarians will demonstrate how to teach these habits based on existing information literacy frameworks. Attendees will leave with a toolkit of resources that aid in cultivating student agency surrounding the use of generative AI in the classroom and beyond.

A teaching portfolio is more than a collection of documents—it is an opportunity to present a thoughtful and compelling narrative of your growth, effectiveness, and impact as an educator. In this workshop, participants will learn how to curate a teaching portfolio and craft a teaching philosophy statement that strategically showcases their strengths, achievements, and teaching identity for tenure, promotion, contract renewal, or academic job applications.
