    Timely Topics is a series of opportunities to engage with subject matter experts on topics relevant to those who support and advise graduate students and programs. Every session is available to all UConn faculty and staff. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming session:

    Effective Teachers and Productive Professionals: Giving TAs and Future Faculty What They Need to Succeed

    Join the Center for Teaching and Learning (CETL) to discuss how CETL can help Teaching Assistants (TAs) and postdocs enhance their effectiveness in the classroom here at UConn and in future academic positions. Learn about workshops, courses, and opportunities for training and credentials through the Center for Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL), a network of 42 top PhD-producing universities committed to improving the preparation of future faculty through evidence-based professional development programming. We will also explore areas where departments and CETL can collaborate to better support TAs’ teaching development.
