The Center for Teaching and Learning helps Brandeis instructors foster deep and meaningful learning experiences that support their students’ intellectual growth and inspire them to improve the world.
How can we help you?
We are dedicated to supporting instructors with their teaching and learning needs. If you are an instructor—whether a faculty member, or graduate or undergraduate student serving as a Teaching Assistant or Course Assistant—we encourage you to use the menu at left to browse our events, programs for faculty, resources for TAs, TFs, CAs, and IAs, and online guides. We also encourage you to sign up for a consultation and/or any of the services available to all instructors at Brandeis.
If you're not sure whether we can help, or would like to suggest a new offering, please reach out to us by email or through our contact form (also at left); we'd love to hear from you!

- More advice about generative AI. While we refresh our general advice about Teaching in the Age of Generative AI, take a look at our brand new advice about Creating a Custom Chatbot for your course, and peruse a Resources page that includes workshop handouts and recent studies and articles that are informing our approach.
