Workshops
CRLT Seminar Series (upcoming events)
Each semester, CRLT offers GSIs interactive workshops, solidly grounded in the research on teaching and learning and designed to offer practical suggestions that GSIs can incorporate into their classrooms. Seminars include sessions on multicultural teaching and instructional technology. For past eligible seminars and workshops in reverse chronological order, please consult: http://crlt.umich.edu/events_eligible_for_certificate
CRLT in Engineering Seminar Series (upcoming events)
See above. Topics are tailored toward GSIs in the College of Engineering.
Enriching Scholarship
The U-M Teaching and Technology Collaborative offers pedagogical workshops for one week each May that explore the effective integration of technology with teaching and learning. Workshops on using technology for research do NOT fulfill Certificate requirements. Workshops focusing on teaching methods (e.g. workshops sponsored by CRLT), do fulfill Certificate requirements.
Rackham-CRLT May Preparing Future Faculty Seminar
This month-long Seminar helps advanced graduate students prepare for their first faculty teaching jobs. Topics include preparing for the job market, issues in higher education, faculty worklife, and effective college teaching methods. Fulfills the entire Certificate requirement B: learning about teaching. Enrollment is limited and by program competitive application. Seminars include sessions on multicultural teaching and instructional technology.
Departmental Workshops on College Teaching and Learning
CRLT does not maintain a list of current departmental workshops on teaching and learning. Please check with individual departments regarding their offerings.

U-M Comprehensive Courses on College Teaching and Learning
Various units across campus offer 3-credit courses on college teaching and learning. To determine which courses are being offered, please check with individual departments.
