Professors Tend to Teaching: Award-winning instructors give "Ten Teaching Tips" for colleagues to consider - James Todd, Duke News
A group of Duke faculty and staff are promoting excellence in teaching with public talks, weekly meetings and research projects. This semester, CoSTL (pronounced “coastal”) is sponsoring a series of events, including a workshop on Thursday, March 23, on “A Practical Approach for Designing Effective and Innovative Courses.” “There’s a ground swell of interest to get Duke to elevate the status of looking at, and evaluating, teaching,” said Ahrash Bissell, a program coordinator in the Academic Resource Center and one of the CoSTL organizers. “The vast majority of the faculty we talked to would be thrilled to have some kind of support” for their teaching.
