Hi Friend of the CTE,                                                                 

We hope your semester is off to a great start! Get excited for the Lilly Conference, sign up for a CTE consultation, and check out teaching and learning resources curated just for you. 

News and Information

The schedule for the 43rd Original Lilly Conference on College Teaching (November 21-23 at Armstrong Student Center) is now available! Take a few minutes to review the exciting program of sessions on evidence-based teaching and learning by teacher-scholars from Miami and across the U.S. Conference registration is also open. Registration fees for Miami instructors, graduate students, and staff are subsidized by the CTE (or maybe free—see below!).

The CTE's external fundraising success has created a special opportunity for Miamians. 

We are thrilled to offer over 100 registration scholarships (excluding meals and preconference workshop fees) to Miami instructors, graduate students, and staff. Complete this short scholarship application by November 1, 2024 to be considered. Please wait to register until you receive word on your application from LillyCon@MiamiOH.edu.

We offer two types of consultations at the CTE. Both are confidential. 

(1) If you are conducting a midcourse evaluation, you can meet with one of our Faculty Teaching Associates, who will help you either plan your midcourse evaluation or interpret results and create a plan for instructional response. Spots for these consultations fill quickly; request yours today. (To learn more about the value of midcourse evaluation, see "Using Formative Assessment...." below.)

Request a Midcourse Evaluation Consultation-Oxford.

Request a Midcourse Evaluation Consultation-Regionals.

(2) If you or your department want to investigate new (or fine-tune existing) teaching strategies, methods, and opportunities, you can meet with the CTE Director (Ellen Yezierski) or the Assistant Director (Gregg Wentzell). 

Request a Consultation with Ellen or Gregg.

Did you know that one of the best ways to improve students' learning is to ask them directly about their learning experience? This Faculty Focus article focuses on formative assessment, which promotes inclusion, enhances metacognition, builds trust, and even increases instructor satisfaction.
