Teaching New & Newly Returning Students

The Center for Equity and Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CEETL) invites all faculty to join the upcoming fully online, asynchronous course called Teaching New & Newly Returning Students (TNRS), which offers resources, teaching strategies, and collegial discussions to support the persistence and academic success of all students.

eService Learning

The Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE) and CEETL are bringing you a brand new micro-course: 'eService Learning — Incorporating Service Learning for Online Teaching.' 

What: This course offers resources, activities and discussions to help faculty integrate the benefits of service-learning and effective classroom teaching as you create positive changes in students, community organizations and in your department.  

How: This course is fully online, self-paced and asynchronous.  

VOLT Micro-Course

CEETL is relaunching the Video for Online Learning and Teaching (VOLT) online micro-course for faculty that were not able to participate in the summer!

The format is fully asynchronous and self-paced. In VOLT, participants will discuss pedagogy supporting the use of video for teaching, explore best practices for creating videos using SF State-supported video tools, and setting up a recording space. Participants will have the opportunity to practice video production skills with supported video tools. 

Teaching Through Transitions

The creators of the CEETL Online Teaching Lab invite all faculty to join an upcoming course called “Teaching Through Transitions,” in preparation for our fall 2021 phased return to campus. This fully online, self-paced and asynchronous course offers resources, activities and discussions to help faculty prepare teaching mindsets for a transitional year, regardless of the learning mode they choose.

Summer & Fall 2021 Teaching Squares

A teaching square is a group of four (sometimes five) faculty, usually from across disciplines, that meet regularly throughout a semester to support each other and celebrate best practices for teaching and learning (Haave, 2014). At SF State, we opened up the format for the teaching squares such that faculty can self-organize into their groups, and the sizes can exceed the typical 4-person group.

Thanks Faculty Who Participated in Our Faculty Survey!

The results are in! The survey served to check in with SF State Faculty, learn preferred teaching modalities and consider future teaching scenarios for the fall to help the University plan and build capacity to support your teaching, whether online or in person.

JEDI Writing PIE

The JEDI Writing PIE Institute is a fully asynchronous, completely self-paced online course about teaching writing based on pedagogies for inclusive excellence. The institute is designed for faculty who teach writing across the curriculum and in their disciplines.
