Individual Instructor Service Requests

Below is a list of service options that we offer to help anyone meet and exceed their teaching and learning goals. Please consider this list of options, and then submit your request using the form linked to the button at the bottom of this webpage.

After an initial meeting to determine any specific areas of concern, you may request up to three classroom observations in a semester to help identify and adopt new teaching strategies and/or approaches. We perform observations anytime during the semester. This can be done face to face or via Zoom.

We will support you in designing a course by helping you consider who you are teaching, how your course fits into your department’s curriculum, developing your learning goals/outcomes, classroom assignments, and learning activitiesas well as other tasks related to implementing your course. You may request up to four meetings each semester to support you in achieving your course design goals.

We will review documents such as your syllabus, teaching philosophy statement, teaching modules, presentations, and other learning materials to help ensure that your materials are facilitating the outcomes you desire.

TLI offers a mid-semester course feedback session that provides pedagogical insights and opportunities for instructional development based on student feedback. To accommodate the various teaching modalities, we have designed a process with 2 options to gather mid-semester feedback. The information below includes a brief outline of our 2 approaches:  

  • Option 1: An anonymous survey that can be used to gather feedback from your students. A post-survey consultation will be scheduled to discuss the results. 
  • Option 2: A live session during class time. This could take the form of a focus group (if the class enrollment is less than 50 students), or a more structured discussion. We would need 30 minutes of class time without the instructor present. A post-visit consultation will be scheduled to discuss the results.

TLI will facilitate discussions and provide resources on a topic of interest to multiple faculty members (2-5). Group consulting can address topics like curricular redesign within a departmentor a group of instructors all teaching different sections of the same course who want to increase course continuity between sections. Additionally, it might focus implementing a particular type of pedagogy, such as experiential learning, or other topics like metacognition, large classroom engagement, or reflection. TLI will support up to three discussions for any one group of instructors during a semester.

6. End of Course Evaluation Feedback:

TLI will aid you in reflecting on your student evaluations to determine areas of growth. We see this as 3-part process that includes an initial conversation, a summary of findings from the evaluations, and a subsequent meeting to determine a plan of action.  

7. Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Support:

SoTL Incubator provides a framework for effective research design, IRB application, and implementation. It consists of a series of meetings, structured by workflow documents and facilitated by TLI staff. Click here to learn more about this program.
