While designed for primary instructors in the live classroom, the course introduces practices that can be used in a range of teaching contexts, from TA sections and tutoring sessions, to curricular design and development of asynchronous resources. Some practices might even be adapted beyond formal teaching contexts.

All members of the Stanford community are encouraged to enroll, and those who complete all course activities within two consecutive academic quarters will receive a CTL completion certificate as evidence of individual and professional development. Completion of the course will also be recorded in your STARS learning dashboard.
