Transforming Learning Through Teaching (TLTT)

Transforming Learning Through Teaching (TLTT)

This transformative course encourages participants to reflect on current teaching practices and consider new ones as they collaborate and learn alongside others from various disciplines across the college. Topics include universal design for learning, creating inclusive learning environments, and exploring evidence-based teaching strategies to support student learning. Assignments will encourage exploration of new resources, reflection, and considering new approaches to guide student learning.

The intention of this course is to explore, experience, and reflect upon current teaching and learning practices. The facilitators use a collaborative approach, and every effort is made to model the various teaching and learning strategies and concepts presented in the course. While the strategies modeled are research-based, the focus of this course is the application of the techniques to the learning environment. This course counts as 36 hours of professional development. While this course is online, it is not self-paced. (NOTE: Feel free to adapt materials in this course for your courses).
