Great Hall Meeting Room 1
Ohio Union

Wondering how to best communicate to students why a course contains specific content? Not sure how to convey the relevance of course goals to lessons and assignments? This session offers an introduction to TILT (Transparency in Learning and Teaching) as a framework to address these concerns, providing participants with the strategies necessary to foster a culture of transparency in the classroom and demystify the hidden curriculum. 

Lunch will be provided.

As a result of attending GTA Toolkit, participants will: 

  • identify the benefits of fostering a culture of transparency in the classroom
  • apply the TILT (Transparency in Learning and Teaching) framework for assignment design
  • develop strategies for addressing the “hidden curriculum”
  • understand best practices for promoting transparency around course goals and design
