CAT Summer Course Design Institute: Call for Applications

[Amy Kowal]

I did this a couple years ago and redesigned my World Prehistory course which helped me get it ready for online conversion. I highly recommend it, and now there’s a stipend with it.

Summer 2024 Course Design Institute
We’re pleased to invite applications for the following opportunity this summer:

Summer 2024 Course Design Institute
June 24–27 | 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. | In person, lunch provided | Click to apply<https://click.message.fsu.edu/?qs=0aaccd3d707e8f1acae4e79e875942daf1cc1c49a7f5480ee92c54f2cbf668d92a3d782bdff46e8cc0caa02108cdd2658662d69e61d751f3>
Note: Based on requests from colleagues, this year we’re holding the CDI in Summer B.

CAT’s Course Design Institute (CDI) provides faculty with the time, structure, and support they need to craft transformative and inclusive learning experiences that reach and inspire their students. Course design and planning need not be lonely work; they are best accomplished in a community of peers who are similarly engaged. The seminar is a four-day series of hands-on workshops, during which faculty will hone their goals for student learning, plan effective use of class time, and work on sequencing and scaffolding coursework, as well as gathering valid evidence of learning. They will also work on strategies for fostering welcoming classroom climates and cultivating student motivation. Participants will gain:

  *   Structured support to (re)design a course for maximum learning
  *   Assistance and feedback on course design, including learning goals; assignment and exam design; effective use of class time; class activities; active-learning strategies; etc.
  *   Expertise in learner-centered teaching and backward design
  *   Strategies for motivating students
  *   Collegial community and peer feedback
Each faculty participant will receive a stipend of $2,000 upon successful completion of the course redesign. Seats are limited, and full-time faculty of all ranks are eligible. Priority will be given to courses that reach large numbers of students, and to applications from teams of faculty, either teaching multiple sections of the same course or courses that students take in a series. Participants must be able to attend all sessions of the workshop, complete pre-work, and submit final revised plans by August 1st.

You can apply through the link above. Please include a brief letter of support from your chair. The deadline to apply is Sunday, March 31st, and decisions will be made by Wednesday, April 3rd. If you have questions about attending the seminar, please email us at pro-teaching at fsu.edu<mailto:pro-teaching at fsu.edu?subject=>. We look forward to working with you!
