Faculty, staff, administrators, or teaching assistants on all levels are invited to take advantage of UConn’s Institutional membership to resources from the Teaching and Learning Academy (TLA) hosted by the Gardener Institute
Access to the on-demand material and resources for professional development in teaching will appeal to individuals or departmental groups who are engaged or wish to be engaged in advancing equitable teaching and need flexibility in their schedules. The self-paced remote modules are applicable in a variety of contexts, but have a broad focus on redesign for gateway course, through the use of liberatory and anti-racist pedagogies.
The Teaching and Learning Academy includes the following:
- The Humanity of Inclusive Practices (TLA Signature Course that’s been redesigned for this year) is offered annually online and available on-demand after the course ends. This year the course will take place July 10-21 (dates and times are included in the presentation linked below).
- Videos and online resources
- Webinars
- Community of practice meetings
- Modules focused on aspects of course design/redesign
