Summer Targeted Teaching Transformation (T3) Program
Facilitated by Larkin Hood, Associate Research Professor
Thursday, 4/18/2024 to Friday, 8/23/2024

The Targeted Teaching Transformation (T3) program is open to any Penn State instructor(s) of record, working as individuals or in small groups. The T3 program pairs you with an expert coach, who will work with you to identify and meet your teaching transformation goals. You will receive up to 10 hours of individual, one-on-one coaching (in person and virtual sessions available) you schedule at your convenience over the summer. You will have access to a host of T3 resources. You will receive a certificate of completion suitable for inclusion in your Faculty Activity Report. Instructors will apply through a short online form. Application deadline is May 13, 2024. Priority will be given to instructors designing courses to be taught during the 2024-25 academic year. Accepted participants will be notified by May 17, 2024.

Some examples of goals you could achieve through the T3 program are: adopting alternate forms of grading, planning to teach in a different modality, redesigning assignments, redesigning a course you inherited to make it your own, redesigning your course for more students, and much more.

Endorsement: Inclusive and Equitable Teaching
Facilitated by Beate Brunow, Associate Research Professor
Tuesday, 4/30/2024 to Thursday, 5/1/2025
Canvas

This endorsement is part of the Provost Endorsement Program.

This endorsement engages experienced instructors in implementing inclusive and equitable teaching in their current or upcoming course(s).  This program assumes participants already understand the need for inclusive and equitable practices. Eligible participants must have teaching responsibilities in the current or upcoming academic year so that they can most immediately benefit from the content of the program by applying program concepts to their teaching. Participants will revise a syllabus or assignments for future use, reflect on their teaching based on student feedback and peer interactions, and consider how they might cultivate belonging in their courses.  Once participants have registered, they will be added to a Canvas course and connected with a SITE faculty consultant. Registration opens on January 15.
