Center for Teaching and Learning

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) has many resources available to faculty to support your teaching. The CTL provides teaching consultations including small group evaluations, videotaping classes and help in interpreting course evaluations. CTL can be of particular assistance to new or junior faculty, who may have questions about Stanford students, teaching on the quarter system, or designing courses for the first time.

There are also teaching opportunities for Freshman and Sophomore Seminars. For more information, see this pdf:

Tomorrow's Professor Mailing List is a resource for anyone interested in college teaching. You can read all previous posts on the site or you can sign up for the once-a-month email focused on interesting and important topics. An example of one of the postings is Top 10 Things New Faculty Would LIke To Hear From Colleagues.

CTL offers individualized consultations, a range of written and video resources, workshops, and — in the case of junior faculty in science and engineering — a teaching discussion group. Junior faculty in the humanities or social sciences who would be interested in a similar group should contact us at 723-2208.

Stanford Syllabus: New in Fall 2006, Stanford Syllabus provides a centralized online repository of syllabi for Stanford University courses. Having syllabi available to students before they enroll in classes will facilitate the selection of courses by students and their faculty advisors. Instructors may post their course syllabi at syllabus.stanford.edu.
