One-on-One Consultations

CETAL staff are available to review assignments and assessments and provide feedback. We can work with you to revise your assignment to reduce students' likelihood of using AI or to incorporate AI in a way that encourages students' growth and engagement.

CETAL staff are available to meet with faculty on a range of different teaching topics. Topics include:

• Inclusive teaching

• Instructional strategies

• Course planning

• Assessment strategies

• Grading and feedback approaches

• Incorporating more learning check-ins or formative assessments

• Instructional tools that foster engagement

CETAL staff are available to conduct non-evaluative class observations. The observations are followed by confidential, reflective conversations between the instructor and the CETAL observer. The focus of the observation is up to the instructor, but it must be specified prior to the observation.  Some possible questions a CETAL observation can answer are:

• What is the ratio of positive to negative feedback I gave to my students?

• Did the instructional choices I made during my class provide all students equal opportunities to be heard in class?

• Did I reach a specific type of learning preference (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) more than others?

• What patterns or trends were observed in my classroom interactions in terms of gender, ethnicity, race, language background, etc.?

• Did I respond to all students or groups of students equally?

• Are there different strategies I can use to maximize my effectiveness during class time?
