Tenure-Track Faculty Information Session: Using the Critical Teaching Behaviors Framework to Document Your Teaching Effectiveness

What is the Critical Teaching Behaviors (CTB) framework? As Lauren Barbeau and Claudia Cornejo Happel, authors of Critical Teaching Behaviors: Defining, Documenting, and Discussing Good Teaching, write on their website, the CTB Framework “defines instructional practices to create a shared understanding of good teaching by providing a concise synthesis of research-based teaching behaviors proven effective for improving student learning. It consists of six defined categories, representative behaviors, and documentation an instructor can collect as evidence of engagement in these behaviors.

This is one of four different in-person information sessions about using the CTB Framework, tailored to meet the needs of specific stakeholders on campus. Each session will offer participants a “crash course” in utilizing this framework in order to better identify and document effective teaching practices.

The first three people to sign up for a session will receive a free copy of the book when they attend the in-person session. You do not need to have the book to participate but reviewing the CTB website ahead of time would be helpful.
