Forum on Teaching in the Core

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. The event is open to everyone and is aimed at those teaching in the Humanities and Social Sciences Collegiate Divisions, including faculty, instructional professors, lecturers, Harper-Schmidt Fellows, Teaching Fellows, and graduate student instructors.
