The Mission of the CTL
The Center for Teaching and Learning cultivates communities of inquiry and practice to promote excellent teaching, learning, and scholarship in the liberal arts. We nurture the learning environment of Grinnell College by fostering conversation and reflection at the intersection of pedagogy, the scholarship of teaching and learning, instructional design, and academic technologies. We advance practices of teaching and learning that are accessible, inclusive, and grounded in the best available evidence.
Community Friday, Nov. 13: “The Second Year,” with Kate Ferraro and Panelists
HSSC A1231
lunch buffet opens at 11:45 a.m.
Please RSVP for Community Friday by Nov. 9
While much time is spent thinking about a student’s first year at Grinnell, the second year is a pivotal moment of a student’s college experience where they are asked to level up and make some big decisions! Come learn about the Level Up: Second Year Program from a panel of second year experts who can share what we are already doing to support students during this important period and imagine where this program can go next. We will hear from Donna Miller (Careers, Life, and Service), Alicia Stanley (Institute for Global Engagement), Jillian Steelberg (Academic Success Center), and Joyce Stern (Academic Success Center). This session will be particularly useful for faculty and staff who work closely with first- and second-year students.
Early arrival is encouraged for the lunch buffet that opens at 11:45 a.m. Thank you for using reusable flatware to cut down on plastic waste. The fall Community Friday schedule is available on the CTL website at Community Fridays - Center for Teaching and Learning.
