The Core is a defining feature of undergraduate education in the College and can be one of the more rewarding teaching experiences at UChicago. Every September, the CCTL hosts the Forum on Teaching in the Core, a venue for new and experienced faculty and instructors to discuss the aims and distinctive pedagogical issues that characterize Core teaching.
Graduate students newly serving as TAs, Interns, and instructors at UChicago are invited to the CCTL’s annual orientation Teaching@UChicago which offers resources and strategies for effective teaching.

Teaching@UChicago is the CCTL’s annual orientation event for graduate students at the beginning of their teaching careers at the University of Chicago.
This orientation, consisting of a half-day live webinar and a brief asynchronous course, will provide participants with an overview of how teaching works at the University and guidance to develop their pedagogy. Participants will learn more about resources and strategies for effective teaching, informed by evidence and by reflections from undergraduate learners, graduate student teachers, and CCTL staff. They will leave with an improved awareness of the resources available to them, common challenges to overcome, and some concrete strategies to use as a graduate student instructor, with a particular focus on the first day in the classroom, and will identify a set of next steps to take depending on their roles and personal priorities as educators.
