Join us for an interactive workshop where you'll learn—and experiment with—effective AI prompting techniques for teaching. We'll cover practical frameworks for instructional tasks like course design, assessment creation, and student support, then give you time to tinker with your own materials while facilitators provide guidance. This is a space to try things out, troubleshoot, and discover what AI can (and can't) do for your teaching. Bring a laptop or device with access to generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot) and be ready to experiment with your own course content.

Our university is committed to delivering the highest quality instruction, and we believe that a classroom observation can significantly contribute to your growth as an effective teacher while showcasing your dedication to continuous improvement. Participating in a classroom observation offers numerous benefits, including enhancing your teaching effectiveness, fostering greater student engagement, and providing a focused pathway for professional development. By signing up for a classroom observation, we will visit one of your class sessions and offer valuable feedback on your lesson planning and delivery. The CITE Classroom Observation process includes a pre-observation meeting, an in-class observation, a student survey, and a post-observation discussion. Through this comprehensive approach, we ensure that the observation experience is thorough and constructive. Upon completion of the observation process, you will receive a detailed Observation Report presented in a standardized format. The report will encompass insights from the observation, valuable student feedback, and practical suggestions for future improvements, ultimately assisting you in refining your teaching techniques.
