The Center for Teaching and Learning is hosting CCT (Certification in College Teaching) Super Saturday to support those students interested in working on a Certification in College Teaching. This program offers a wide variety of professional development experiences in support of teaching and learning. The goal of the program is to provide support to our graduate students as they develop effective teaching strategies and to help prepare them for teaching after graduation.
Please complete the Certification in College Teaching Checklist and submit to the chair or department head of your academic program. Each program or college will be encouraged to adjust the Certification process to best meet the needs of the teaching assistants through specialized training or requirements.

AI and Academic Dishonesty: A Fun Beginner’s Guide – Ready to jump into the fascinating world of AI and see some of the ways students can use it to cheat? This segment is designed to lay out some of the AI options students have at their fingertips right now. We’ll take a peek into the cool, somewhat terrifying tech behind chatbots and how they can be used right now to “help” students do homework, take exams and write papers (aka do the work for them), as well as the many difficulties in detecting this “help.” We’ll also look at some of the ways educators are reorganizing their syllabi, rethinking their assignments, and reconsidering what knowledge and skills they want their students to know in the face of this very powerful, quickly evolving technology.
