Collegium on Large Class Instruction
The UW Teaching Academy established the Collegium on Large
Class Instruction in 2000. The Collegium offers faculty, particularly
those who instruct large classes, an opportunity to come together
and discuss challenges they face and improvements they would
like to implement in their teaching. Participants of the Collegium
attend workshops and learning sessions, and actively converse
with each other, faculty facilitators, and undergraduate students
in open, engaging conversations. In addition to practical issues
of classroom management and supervision of teaching assistants,
we explore active learning strategies, technology, and diversity
as they relate to large class instruction. Each faculty participant
comes with a teaching issue, challenge, or problem that he or
she would like to address. Throughout the Collegium, faculty
are encouraged to think about and articulate how the various
sessions come to bear on their own teaching concerns.
Who is Eligible to Apply:
Tenure-track (Professor, Associate, Assistant Professors) faculty
and Full-Time Lecturers whose class size is considered
“large,” are encouraged to apply. All interested
individuals are required to fill out a web Q survey, which serves
as the application form. Please be sure to respond to all questions.
