CTL Services to Faculty, Lecturers, and Teaching Assistants

Up one level:

Center for Teaching and Learning

CTL provides the Stanford community with services and resources on effective teaching. Our goals are: to identify and involve successful teachers who are willing to share their talents with others; to provide those who are seeking to improve their teaching with the means to do so; to acquaint the Stanford community with important innovations and new technologies for teaching; to prepare new teachers for their responsibilities; to contribute to the professional development of teaching assistants; to expand awareness of the role of teaching at research universities; and to increase the rewards for superior teaching.

CTL also has responsibility for helping teaching assistants (TAs) with their preparation for and effectiveness in teaching and for helping departments with designing effective TA training programs. Programs include: videotaping, microteaching, and consultation; small group and other forms of mid-quarter evaluation; workshops and lectures; a handbook on teaching and a library of teaching materials; quarterly teaching orientations; an informative quarterly newsletter; and work with individuals, groups, and departments on their specific needs. For further details, see CTL's teaching handbook or the CTL brochure, both available by calling (650) 723-1326, or see http://ctl.stanford.edu.
