This FLC will introduce the small group of faculty participants to existing structures and resources at the Institute and beyond, positioning those interested in this kind of work for developing their own course-based civic engagement, or collaborating with others who are already so engaged.
This FLC is for educators across Pratt schools who want to experiment with their pedagogy in response to the presence of AI. This small group of interested faculty will continue and deepen the work many of us have already been doing, putting it into relational and reflective practices.
Are you looking to write down some reflections on your teaching practice or detail a teaching innovation? Join a SoTL Development mini-FLC that will run over the Fall 2026 semester with an initial kickoff in late May.
Classroom management involves many mundane tasks: taking attendance, communicating with absent students, and so on. These duties are often undertaken in a routine way, in between the primary activities of teaching and learning in the classroom or studio. Join us as we hear from two Pratt faculty members—Dominica Giglio (HMS) and Micki Spiller (Foundation)—whose teaching practices transform these mundane classroom management tasks into meaningful and engaging activities embedded within the larger context of teaching and learning.
We would be delighted to have you join our 2026 Summer Playground Institute; a playful exploration of serious pedagogical topics within a community of creative and curious Pratt faculty. We gather at the end of the Spring semester before Summer break (a liminal space-time) to joyfully hold inspiring questions and works-in-progress with each other.
This Spring Workshop series continues the Fall exploration of how generative AI is reshaping writing pedagogy in GenEd and Writing Intensive (WI) courses.
In times of difficulty, having tools and practices that support ourselves and our students can make a meaningful difference. The CTL Team has gathered the following research-based resources to offer guidance and support.
This reading group, starting in early March, invites faculty to engage deeply with urgent questions about the purpose and future of higher education in times of intersecting global crises through critical engagement with the book Transforming Universities in the Midst of Global Crisis: A University for the Common Good.
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), in collaboration with the Learning/Access Center (L/AC), will offer the Creative Accommodations self-paced series again this Spring semester, punctuated with online synchronous Zoom conversations. The goal of this series is to support faculty as they respond effectively and appropriately to students with accommodations.
This year, the Distinguished Teacher Award (DTA) Committee is inviting the 2026 DTA finalists to attend an informal event that we are calling the DTA Dialogues. The event will be co-hosted on Zoom by the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Academic Senate.
