Teaching Tips

Teachnig TipThese Teaching Tips and the others that you will receive approximately once a month during the academic year come from the Teaching Issues Writing Consortium which is hosted by the Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching (FaCET) at Western Kentucky University.  Members of the Teaching Issues Writing Consortium, including CCRI’s CITLA, contribute one short piece on teaching that is suitable for distribution through a listserv email message. In return, members receive copies of the submissions contributed by the other members of the consortium and can share them with their faculty.

If you have a tip that you’d like to share, please send it to Karen Griscom (klanderson@ccri.edu) or Jeanne Mullaney (jmullaney@ccri.edu) so that we can forward it to the consortium and continue to receive tips from faculty in institutions all over the United States.

To receive future Teaching Tips by email along with future CITLA events, please send an email to citla@ccri.edu.
