They have invited faculty and staff at CSS to join or lead a CoP (leading comes with a $500 stipend). Click HERE for more details; deadline is October 4th.

CTL "Sparkshops"

The Center for Teaching and Learning will again be offering "Sparkshops" - brief 15-20 minute “workshops” provided during a program or department gathering. The purpose is to “spark” interest in, or action on, a specific topic of interest, with those topics selected by the division or program. Sparkshops are tailored to those requests and provide development for those who might not otherwise attend a CTL offering (for all sorts of reasons). Basically, this bring the CTL to you! 

What do you need? How can the CTL help? Please email mridenour@css.edu to discuss a sparkshop topic that might be of interest. For example, last year, programs requested sparkshops on AI, Openings and Closings, Quick Assessments, Discussion Techniques and Neurodivergence.
