Teaching and Learning

Classroom Consultants Program

Faculty, as the fall semester fast approaches don't forget about CTL's latest faculty development initiative, the Classroom Consulting program.

Augsburg's Classroom Consulting program is designed to offer individualized and course-specific faculty development through confidential peer partnerships. The program is run solely by the Center for Teaching and Learning and operates fully outside the tenure and promotion review process (see confidentiality policy). Any Augsburg instructor is welcome and encouraged to work with a consultant whether their goal is addressing a specific problem, exploring strategies to more fully engage students, or seeking ideas to re-energize a course.

Trained Classroom Consultants are available on an on-call basis to offer assistance to fellow faculty members. Assistance and support, provided without record and in strict confidence, may take several forms including observations of classroom teaching, review of course materials, discussions of classroom management strategies, tactics specific to hybrid courses*, or conducting focus groups with students (Small Group Instructional Diagnosis). Because consultations are course and faculty-specific, an initial meeting between the consultant and faculty member will be used to determine the goals and needs of the faculty member.

Read about the individual consultants on the CTL website: http://inside.augsburg.edu/ctl/classroom-consultants/

If you would like additional information or would like to arrange a meeting with a consultant, please contact Tim Pippert at ctl@augsburg.edu.
