Identify teaching goals based on your teaching context (e.g., class size and level, modality, desired teaching approach).

• Review your Teaching Philosophy Statement.
• Consider the courses you teach, including course goals, modality, size, level.
• Identify ways in which you can achieve your teaching goals in these courses.

Develop a plan to implement teaching goals. Seek resources, support, and feedback as needed (e.g., from a teaching mentor or an instructional consultant from CATT).

• Use resources throughout our Design Your Course webpages to refine your course(s) based on these best practices and your goals.
• Build out and teach the refined course(s).
• When teaching your refined courses, consider inviting a colleague to review your courses to provide feedback. To identify a peer reviewer outside your department, contact CATT to submit a request.

Evaluate the refined course(s) and the impact of new practices on student learning.

• Work with CATT staff to identify sources of information that will help you understand the impact of your changes on student success.
• Identify opportunities to share impactful practices with colleagues.

Review your goals and identify the teaching practices that helped you achieve them.

• Identify newly adopted teaching approaches that were not helpful in promoting student learning. Consider additional refinements or alternative approaches.
• For those approaches that were helpful, consider if they should be shared with a wider audience.

Seek out opportunities to share best practices with external audiences.

• Connect with CATT to share your experiences on an episode of the Teaching Table Podcast.
• Develop a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) presentation or publication based on your results.
