New and Experienced Faculty and GSI Seminars
New Faculty Teaching, Learning, and Orientation
Seminar
This four-day seminar is an annual event for new faculty sponsored
by DIIA. The program underscores the university's commitment to teaching
excellence, and introduces newcomers to the resources and services available to support them.
Teaching and Learning Colloquium
Just before the beginning of the spring semester, all faculty are invited
to take part in a two-morning colloquium on current teaching issues of
importance to UT Austin. The event is organized by DIIA and features sessions
by faculty who are using teaching innovations in their classes. Hands-on
workshops are also available.
Colloquium for Graduate Students
At the beginning of each academic year DIIA sponsors a colloquium for graduate students. During this one-day colloquium graduate students will build instructional skills, and new teaching assistants will be introduced to expectations for teaching at the university. Attendees also receive elective credit towards an ASPECTS certificate.
Departmental
Workshops
Division staff are available for department-sponsored workshops about
effective teaching or other teaching issues.
