Congratulations! You have made it to the end of another semester in one piece. You deserve to catch your breath and enjoy some time-off. In addition to getting some rest, we encourage you to set yourself up for future success by taking advantage of the Kaneb Center resources. To help you hone your pedagogical prowess over the next few months, consider:
Reading Groups. The Kaneb Center purchases books on teaching and learning for small informal reading groups. Faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars are all welcome and invited to sign up for a prearranged group or to propose their own group. These groups are a great place to gather new ideas on teaching and to meet colleagues from across the university who are interested in teaching and learning. Learn more and sign up by Monday, May 20 at 10:00 am.
Graduate Courses on University Teaching and Learning. Enrollment is open for short, credit-bearing summer graduate courses on university teaching and learning in various fields. They are taught by experienced Notre Dame faculty. Courses must meet minimum enrollments at least a month prior to the start date in order to run. Contact the individual course instructor or krudenga@nd.edu with further questions. Visit University of Notre Dame Summer Session for more info. Tuition support is available for graduate students. Submit a summer tuition scholarship application online.
Individual Consultations. Schedule a one-on-one consultation with a member of the Kaneb Center staff to discuss any teaching needs. We are happy to help you review CIFs, discuss your course plans for the fall, develop new types of assessments or other learning activities, consider the integration of technology into your course, or discuss any other pedagogical questions or concerns.
Kaneb Center Library. The Kaneb Center library holds hundreds of books, videos, and other materials on a variety of teaching and learning topics. Visit our library and check out some great selections for your summer reading!
From all of us at the Kaneb Center, we wish you a happy, restorative, and productive summer!
