Fall 2024 Events and Initiatives
Hamline Provost's Office identified High Impact Practices and Serving All Hamline Students as two main area of focus for our work, program development and review. This work will, hopefully, result in more new students coming to Hamline and an increase in retention. The Center for Teaching and Learning is eager to support you in your work! Please look at the list of events we planned and let us know what else we could do to support you!

CTL Initiatives
Long-term projects that everyone is invited to participate in
Teaching Triangles Badge
If you are interested, please complete this quick initial interest Survey
Interested in supportive peer-led conversations related to your teaching? Then this initiative led by Jodi Goldberg is for you! Teaching triangles are made up of three faculty that agree to observe each others' teaching over the course of a semester. The goal IS NOT to provide feedback to the colleagues you observe, but rather to reflect on your colleagues teaching strategies in comparison to your own. Participants will be asked to meet once with their triangle before teaching observations, observe each colleague once during the semester, and meet again after all class visits are complete. There will be two reflections that participants will complete at the end of the experience. The CTL will provide funds for lunches for participating faculty!
AI Investigations
If you are interested in acquiring a license for your favorite AI tool (images or language) for the summer, please email Irina (imakarevitch01@hamline.edu) by May 30 describing which models you are interested in and why. We have funds to support you in this endeavor! Here is the current draft of Hamline Recommendations / Guidelines for the use of AI in the classroom - your opinion matters - please add your comments and suggestions!
