During the Spring semester, the CFT organized a working group dedicated to supporting graduate students and postdocs who will be new faculty in the Fall of 2022 to create their needed syllabi in advance of the upcoming school year. In the four bi-weekly meetings, participants engaged in activities focused on Understanding by Design for course development, shared their progress on their syllabi development goals, and discussed their challenges. Sara Eccleston, one of the Graduate Teaching Fellows, developed and facilitated this learning community. Thank you, Sara, for your expertise and guidance.
