The CCTL provides a suite of evidence-informed workshops that departments, units, and other groups of faculty and instructors may request. All workshops provide the opportunity for participants to learn, discuss, and actively engage with pedagogical strategies addressing common challenges.
Those interested in a workshop for their unit are invited to select an option from the list below. Please refer to the Workshops by Request Descriptions for more detailed explanations of our current offerings.
To schedule a workshop by request, please complete this form. A CCTL staff member will contact you to discuss your request and any customization needed. If you are interested in a workshop outside of the topics listed below, please contact Amanda M. Jungels, CCTL Director of Pedagogy, at amanda.jungels@uchicago.edu to discuss a custom workshop for your unit.
A research review provides the opportunity to learn more about the research and literature on a specific pedagogical topic. After submitting your request, you will have a short meeting (15-30 minutes) with a CCTL staff member to discuss your goals for the research review and any additional details about the educational context you can provide. Next, the CCTL staff member will conduct a thorough review of relevant literature and provide you with an annotated bibliography of five to seven peer-reviewed sources about your requested pedagogical topic. The typical turnaround time per request is four weeks after the initial meeting. Please use the form below to indicate interest. For questions, please contact Amanda M. Jungels at amanda.jungels@uchicago.edu.
