CELT Programs Accepting Applications |
|
If you're interested in expanding your professional development, look no further than CELT. Three of our key programs are now accepting applications for the 2022-23 academic year. Applications are due by April 15 and those who are accepted into the programs will be notified by April 30. Check out the programs below and head to our website to learn more if you're interested.
-
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Scholars Program: The SoTL Scholars Program is a cohort-based teaching and learning community. It is a year-long experience focused on writing research questions for classroom-based research, implementing quantitative and qualitative assessment techniques, and articulating the types of evidence used to help answer SoTL research questions. You will meet once a month during the 22-23 AY.
-
Teaching and Learning Academy: The CELT Teaching and Learning Academy has expanded its eligibility this year! All instructors who have taught at least one year at Iowa State are eligible to be a part of the CELT TLA. Participants will attend monthly sessions that address course design, evidence-based teaching strategies, inclusive classroom practices, peer-review of teaching, and documentation of teaching effectiveness.
-
Teaching Partners Program: The Teaching Partners Program (TPP) supplements departmental mentoring by pairing a new instructor with a senior instructor from a different discipline who is a successful and experienced teacher. Partners discuss teaching and learning topics, complete classroom observations, and focus on documenting teaching effectiveness for continuous improvement efforts of use in teaching portfolios.
If you're ready to apply, you can go straight to the Qualtrics form to submit your application. We recommend reviewing the specific program web page before you submit your application so that you know what each program requires for the application. If you have any questions, email [email protected].

Launch of the Spring Strolls |
|
The Strolls for Well-being at ISU are a series of resources available to the ISU campus community. The launch of the Spring strolls is taking place the week of March 28 in conjunction with Faculty and Staff appreciation week.
Research has revealed that people who incorporate mindful and contemplative practices regularly in their learning spaces experience enhanced classroom climate including improved focus and awareness, less test anxiety, and increased responsiveness to students’ needs (Schoeberlein, 2009). Participants will leave the interactive Spring Strolls sessions with practical ways to use these resources for themselves, their departments, and in their learning spaces.

Advice
Equitable and inclusive spaces - whether in your classroom, on a department committee, or in another ISU organization - are built and maintained by individuals contributing to those spaces. Here’s my advice for contributing to more inclusive environments:
-
Find your motivation - Why are you here?...
-
Decide to act - With motivation as your guide, make your own commitment...
-
Scan your environment - What guiding statements exist that back your motivation and decision to act?...
-
Collaborate - Making change at ISU often takes a team. Where might you collaborate in your work?...
-
Focus on positive change - Change things for the better. Make progress your goal...
