Coaching & Classroom Support

---

A Classroom Support Conversation is when a CETL representative provides feedback on your class. We provide informative feedback with an outside perspective to help you in your class. Maybe you need help with a teaching strategy in your classroom or need to know how to increase student engagement, that's what these Classroom Support Conversations are.

A Coaching Conversation, on the other hand, is meant to help with more complex teaching problems by gathering relevant information and is not done in the classroom. We help you identify teaching strategies aligned with your teaching and learning goals.

Absolutely! Everyone is welcome at/in CETL.

Whatever your needs are, we're here to support you whether or not you're part-time or full-time. Find the best fit for you, submit your application, and we will review our calendars.

It depends on what you're looking for! Are you looking for support in the classroom and need feedback on your course? Or maybe you're looking for help with your rubric. 

There's no reason you can't do both! Try a Coaching Conversation first, and then do a Classroom Support Conversation to receive feedback on your course.

Absolutely! We recommend starting with a Coaching Conversation and then doing the Classroom Support Conversation, but it really is up to you on what you would like to do. Register for one to begin with and then discuss the next steps once you meet with our CETL colleague.

No, we do not provide letters or documentation for tenure/promotion. Coaching conversations and Classroom Support Conversations are strictly for you to become a better educator, develop new teaching skills, and receive constructive feedback. We believe as teachers, this should be motivation enough!

Support conversations are voluntary and confidential.  

Support conversations are designed to provide formative feedback for teaching improvement.  

We do not provide documentation of teaching or letters of support for Tenure/Promotion documents.

At this time, we currently offer these two services for Denver Campus faculty, as we are a Denver Campus department. We would love to offer this service to AMC faculty in the future if we are able to grow our department and our resources!
