This summer, faculty and contract instructors have the chance to take advantage of a fast track version of our popular Certificate in University Teaching (CUT) program.

Over four weeks, you’ll get the chance to develop your teaching skills and connect with colleagues from across campus. Facilitated by 3M teaching fellow, Dr. Anthony Marini, CUT provides a safe and supportive environment to explore new approaches to instruction.

The 10-session program features a microteaching component and explores topics such as building effective assessment practices, managing both small and large classes and enhancing student engagement. You’ll benefit from in-depth conversation with colleagues as well as feedback from the course facilitators.

The fast track summer cohort begins on July 4 and ends July 27. The sessions will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., with the exception of the first and last sessions, which run from 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Get more information on the program and register here.

Do you have questions about the benefits of CUT or its applicability to your discipline or teaching assignments? Questions around the time commitment? While we believe that the program has significant value, we encourage you to reach out to previous participants in the program who have agreed to answer questions about their experience.
