Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.
The teaching and learning mission of the university is specified as a core goal of the institution, and the university seeks to be as highly regarded for world-class teaching and learning as it is for research. In order to pursue that goal, the Michael V. Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning was conceived, vetted and approved by the university governance system with a unanimous vote from University Senate in April 2016.
The overall purpose of the institute is to integrate and enhance teaching and learning efforts at Ohio State, and to elevate such work to the institutional level. The institute both coordinates and leads current and new activities focused on improving the learning experience for our students and positions the university for national leadership in teaching and learning within a research university setting.
Navigating Conflict: A Toolkit for Instructors
Explore Ohio State's Navigating Conflict Toolkit for Instructors. Conflict is a normal and expected aspect of teaching and learning. When navigated carefully and effectively, it can lead to significant learning and growth. This toolkit provides related resources for Ohio State instructors, providing essential information on university policies and resources to build effective learning environments for all students that support freedom of expression and respectful dialogue.
