The CTRL Teaching & Learning team is here to support faculty in the creation of exciting and fulfilling learning experiences for all AU students. As an expert in your discipline, you bring the “what” to teaching. Our team is here to help you apply the “how” by providing you with evidence-based practices on teaching as a craft.
On this page, you will find links to resources informed by scholarly research to aid in the development of your courses and teaching practices. These resources are organized based on the self-regulated learning cycle, a cyclical process wherein an individual plans for learning, acts upon those plans to learn and monitor learning, and then reflects on the learning process. We hope that as you peruse these resources, you will utilize this cycle to plan, implement, and reflect upon your teaching and course development.
We have also created a separate section for Professional Development resources such as those on the Teaching Portfolio and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
In addition to the materials listed here, we invite you to visit the insightful resources created by our Student Partners.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of these resources or the teaching of your course, please request a consultation with us. If you have ideas or suggestions for resources that would be useful for you and your department, please reach out to ctrl@american.edu with any recommendations.
