The Centre for Teaching and Learning Enhancement (CTLE) would like to cordially invite you to take part in the CTLE Half-day Professional Development Event: Reflective Teaching: Practices and Tools with our Keynote speaker, Dr. Julie McGurk from Yale University, and UM faculty members. Continual reflection is an important part of effective teaching. It helps us to consider why we are teaching what we are teaching and how our teaching practices support student learning. It also helps us to adapt to an ever-changing world and to each new group of students who we are teaching. Join us for a half-day professional development event focused on enhancing teaching through reflection. Participants will be exposed to various strategies and practices of reflective teaching as well as digital tools which can enhance the process.

Date: 19 February 2025 (Next Wednesday)

Time: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (Morning refreshment will be provided to registered participants)

The Centre for Teaching and Learning Enhancement (CTLE) would like to cordially invite you to take part in the CTLE Professional Development Seminar, entitled Reimagining GE: Challenges and Opportunities. In the first part of the seminar, Prof. Lee will show that the development of critical thinking crucially involves the complex processes of reading for in-depth understanding and articulating complex ideas with words, sentences, and connected discourse. These psycholinguistic processes, which are being increasingly challenged by the advent of generative AI, will need to be preserved and enhanced as an integral part of humanities education, in order for critical thinking to continue to be nurtured. The seminar will then lead to a discussion and sharing of insights on creating and teaching of a GE course at UM.

The Centre for Teaching and Learning Enhancement (CTLE) would like to cordially invite you to take part in the CTLE Professional Development Seminar, entitled Removing Barriers to Learning with Universal Design Principles. This seminar explores the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, emphasizing flexible teaching and course design to remove learning barriers. Suitable for both seasoned and new instructors, the speakers will showcase inclusive strategies and their benefits. Beginning with tracing UDL’s evolution from its roots in architecture to its application in education, and then how to use the framework to design or refresh a course. What is preventing some students from excelling? Are they unmotivated? Do they have access barriers? The seminar will delve into strategies for identifying these barriers, and how to go about finding more flexible teaching strategies.
