Consultations

The CTLE offers SU educators a variety of services and different types of teaching support. In addition to our public programs and workshops, we meet one-on-one, and with small groups, and with departments/programs for personalized and customized consultations on topics such as

  • Syllabus design, redesign, and review
  • Assessing student learning
  • Student engagement and attendance
  • Encouraging academic honesty
  • Navigating student biases and stereotypes
  • Facilitating student feedback
  • Reviewing and responding to student feedback
  • Documenting your teaching efficacy
  • Specific questions and concerns about any aspect of teaching

We strongly believe in an asset-based (not deficit-based approach), to all aspects of educational development, including individual consultations. We focus on empowering and supporting faculty in building their own unique teaching strengths and abilities, in their unique teaching contexts. In addition, we are highly attentive to positionality and identity in the classroom, and strive to increase equitable teaching and learning environments for faculty, students, and staff during all programs, including individual consultations. Our services and programs seek to support every educator at Syracuse University, no matter their employment status, and at every stage of their careers.

Confidentiality

At the CTLE, all individual consultations are confidential and voluntary, and only upon request from the individual. We do not initiate consultations with individuals at the behest of a third party such as Chairs or Deans. We do not share identifying information about consultations or participation in our public events with any other office, department, or program.

We believe that participation in pedagogical reflection and development through CTLE programs and implementation of research-based teaching methods offer compelling evidence of teaching efficacy. As such, we encourage participants to communicate information about and discuss their engagement with CTLE programs and services at their discretion. During employment, tenure, and promotion reviews, participation in CTLE programming and support services should be recognized by all parties as important evidence of pedagogical growth, effective teaching, and, at times, service to the department and to the university.
