CDP Faculty Fellows Panel: Innovation & Reflection in Teaching & Learning
March 25, 10:00 – 11:15 am, on Zoom
Join us for an engaging discussion on course design, pedagogy, and effective teaching strategies! This moderated, first Course Design & Pedagogy (CDP) Faculty Fellows Panel explores how some of the faculty that have completed the program engage in reflection, course (re)design, and innovation as part of their teaching and learning goals. Four faculty members will share what they have designed or redesigned as part of their Fellowship work, what they are currently working on, and what pedagogical strategies and practices they plan to implement moving forward.
The presentation includes a Q&A session with participants attending the panel. Since the Fellows represent a variety of disciplines and approaches to course design, pedagogy, and teaching effectiveness, we anticipate a dynamic and engaging discussion.

Panel Discussion: Navigating Teaching in the US: Perspectives Shared by Emory's advanced PhD Candidates
April 18, 4:00 pm
CFDE welcomes all on April 18th, from 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM to an in-person panel discussion session led by advanced PhD Candidates from the Laney Graduate School. The moderated session will address the different issues of designing and teaching your own course in the US for the first time. It draws on the first-hand experiences of Emory's international graduate students from different disciplines. The panelists will share strategies to consider while designing a syllabus, classroom management strategies, the major take-aways from their teaching experience and how their own approaches towards research and pedagogy have been shaped by these experiences.
The panel discussion session will be followed by a Q&A Session with participants attending the event. Since the panelists represent a variety of disciplines and approaches to research and teaching, we anticipate a dynamic and engaging discussion.

We are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming CFDE’s Teaching and Learning Showcase on April 25, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, an event dedicated to celebrating the innovative and impactful work happening in our classrooms. This showcase will provide a space for faculty to share their teaching projects, course (re)designs, teaching and learning strategies, and research through a short poster session. We’re inviting faculty that have participated in several of our CFDE programs, such as the DEI Teaching Fellows, the Course Design and Pedagogy Fellows, the Purposeful Teaching Fellows, and Community Engaged Learning grant recipients, to present.
This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with colleagues and exchange ideas. In addition to the showcase, we will take a moment to bid farewell to our current Director, Dr. Eric Weeks, and warmly welcome our new CFDE Director. This gathering will be a chance to celebrate leadership transitions and our continued commitment to teaching and learning excellence at Emory.
We look forward to seeing you at the showcase and celebrating together the incredible work of our faculty!
