SUMMARY:Cover Letters for the Academic Job Market
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Tammy M. McCoy from the Center for Teaching and Learning at Georgia Tech for a 60-minute presentation on crafting effective cover letters for the academic job market. We will discuss the purpose and structure of the academic cover letter\, how to tailor your letter for different institution types\, and what search committees look for in a strong application narrative. Participants will learn how to align their experiences with position requirements\, highlight their scholarly and teaching identities\, and avoid common cover letter pitfalls\, including guidance on tone\, length\, and strategic framing.

SUMMARY:Real-World and Hands-On Learning: Learning-Centered Teaching Strategies for Student Success
DESCRIPTION:Discover the power of learning-centered teaching in this engaging\, hands-on event. “Learning-centered” emphasizes the backward design process: starting with student learning outcomes. Teachers become “architects” or “designers” of learning environments aimed at achieving student learning outcomes. This approach does not neglect the needs and interests of the individual student but brings into focus what we want a student to be able to do and know after the experience. Participants will explore practical strategies that actively engage students\, understand the “why” behind these approaches\, and gain tools to immediately apply in their own teaching. By the end of this event\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain real-world learning\nExplain hands-on learning\nDesign an example for a learning experience (scenario\, case study\, problem\, etc.) that is relevant to your discipline and enables real-world and hands-on learning.\n\nInstructors\nBarbara Berthold\, University of Texas at Arlington \nSchedule\nThis one-session online event meets on Friday\, October 2nd at 7–8:30pm Gulf / 11–12:30pm Eastern / 10–11:30am Central / 8–9:30am Pacific/Arizona. \nAudience\nThis session is relevant to anyone that wants to learn and apply “learning-centered” approaches in their own teaching. \nRegistration\nREGISTER NOW \nThis event has no cap\, and registration opens on Monday\, August 17th at 10am CT.

SUMMARY:Exploring Teaching Careers at Research Universities with CIRTL Alumni
DESCRIPTION:In this online panel\, we’ll hear from CIRTL alumni who now work as teaching professors at research universities around the United States. Faculty members who primarily teach\, rather than do research\, have become increasingly important for delivering courses at research universities. Alumni will share what their jobs are like\, how they became interested in teaching\, how they ended up at research institutions and how they fit within their departments\, and what growth and progression can look like in these types of career paths. Speakers TBD. \nThis is the first event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nEvent Schedule\nThis online event meets on Monday\, November 2nd at 9-10pm Gulf / 12-1pm Eastern / 11am-12pm Central / 10-11am Arizona / 9-10am Pacific. This is the first event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nAudience\nThis event is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers exploring potential career paths\, but generally relevant to anyone interested in understanding career trajectories within academia and beyond. \nRegistration\nREGISTER NOW \nThis event has no cap\, and registration opens on Monday\, August 17th at 10am CT. Once registration opens\, it will remain open until the event begins on Monday\, November 2nd. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are. Contact David Larson (dlarson23@wisc.edu)\, who is supporting this workshop\, to let us know how we can help you have a successful experience. In addition to meeting individualized needs\, we will also take measures throughout the workshop to support accessibility for all our students: \n\nEnabling live captioning in synchronous sessions\nIncorporating multiple modes of interaction into synchronous sessions\n\n\nAbout CIRTL Programming\nCIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order\, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming\, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals; within those goals\, programming might provide participants improving evidence-based teaching. \nThis event supports the following CIRTL learning goals: \n\nGoal 4: Prepare for an impactful career.

SUMMARY:Exploring Teaching Careers at Teaching Intensive Universities with CIRTL Alumni
DESCRIPTION:In this online panel\, we’ll hear from CIRTL alumni who now teach at liberal arts colleges. Most undergraduates in the United States are educated at liberal arts colleges and other non-research institutions like community colleges and specialized BS and MS universities\, and the faculty who teach them frequently balance teaching\, research\, and mentorship as dynamic pieces of a rewarding career. Alumni will share what their jobs are like\, how they became interested in teaching\, what it was like to transition from the research-intensive R1 institutions they studied at to the smaller colleges and universities where they now work\, and what growth and progression can look like in these types of career paths. Speakers TBD. \nThis is the second event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nEvent Schedule\nThis online event meets on Monday\, November 9th at 9-10pm Gulf / 12-1pm Eastern / 11am-12pm Central / 10-11am Arizona / 9-10am Pacific. This is the second event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nAudience\nThis event is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in STEM/SBE disciplines exploring potential career paths\, but generally relevant to anyone interested in understanding career trajectories within academia and beyond. \nRegistration\nREGISTER NOW \nThis event has no cap\, and registration opens on Monday\, August 17th at 10am CT.

SUMMARY:Neuro-Affirming Course Design: Designing Courses with Neurodiversity In Mind
DESCRIPTION:This event introduces a neuro-affirming approach to course design for graduate students and postdoctoral instructors. Participants will explore neurodiversity\, examine how neurodivergent strengths and challenges shape learning\, and identify elements of neuro‑affirming instruction. The event highlights practical strategies for creating neuro‑inclusive courses covering syllabus design\, course organization\, participation structures\, and assignment creation and applies the UDL +1 method to help instructors make small\, meaningful changes to support all learners. By the end of this event\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the tenets of a neurodiversity affirming instructional approach.\nExplain how neurodiversity impacts learning.\nApply neuro-affirming instructional principles and strategies to course design.\n\nInstructors\nMelissa Tamas\, Stanford University \nSchedule\nThis one-session online event meets on Thursday\, November 12th at 10pm-12am Gulf / 1-3pm Eastern / 12-2pm Central / 11am-1pm Arizona / 10am-12pm Pacific. \nAudience\nThis event is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers looking for an introduction to fundamental academic professional development topics. \nRegistration\nRequest a registration reminder \nCap: 75.
