Workshop Series Information
The goal of this workshop series is to allow participants to reflect upon their current approach to course design and to consider new and inventive practices that will enable them to achieve their desired goals. It is our hope that attendees come away from sessions with innovative ideas that they can be easily implemented in the classes they teach.
Sessions will be facilitated by TLI staff, as well as select faculty and campus experts, who can offer practical examples of the practices being discussed. Participants may choose to attend one, two, or all three sessions depending on their interests and availability. All instructional staff (including graduate students) are welcome to participate.

Building Students’ Global Competence in the Classroom
As part of UTK’s 2022 International Education Week
Thursday, November 17th 2:00-3:45 pm in the International House Great Room (INH 100.)
After graduation, our students will be working with people from other countries and cultures, which means they must learn to become globally competent if they are to enter the workplace as culturally competent employees.
In this workshop, Dr. Ferlin McGaskey and Dr. Deepa Deshpande will use the Global Competency Framework developed by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the Asia Society Partnership to lead faculty in consideration of what we mean by Global Competency, how the domains of global competency align with our learning goals for students, and how we can develop assignments that facilitate our students’ development of global competence.
This insightful workshop will be in partnership with the Center for Global Engagement’s International Education week.
TLI Coffee Break with the Colleges
We will also be offering a new opportunity that we’re calling “TLI Coffee Break with the Colleges”. For this opportunity, members of TLI will be available in a selected college each month to work with individual faculty members, graduate student instructors, and others to answer their questions and have conversation about any of their teaching and learning needs.
