Call for guest blog contributors
Your headline could be here!
Our CETL blog is entering its third academic year, and we’re eager to highlight the excellent work our colleagues are doing across the University. In the past, we’ve invited guest contributions when we hear about something unusual or especially fantastic happening in classrooms on campus. For example, we invited Heather Landry Shirley in the Master’s of Athletic training (MSAT) program to reflect on her experience having her teaching observed; last spring, we invited Summer Hill-Vinson to write about watching her former student, A.J. Brown, win the Super Bowl.
Inviting guest blog writers is one way to shine a spotlight on our colleagues, but we’re limited by what we know about (or hear about) on campus. That’s why we are inviting members of our community to pitch their ideas for a CETL blog post.
Maybe you want to share something you’re trying in your class this semester, or perhaps you’ve recently attended a conference where you picked up a nifty teaching idea. Do you have new teaching-focused research about to publish? A new teaching-related grant or research project that others should know about? It might be that you’ve forged a particularly meaningful relationship with a student researcher or that you have an idea you want to pitch to your colleagues across campus.
We’re open to your ideas! Fill out this form to pitch your idea, and we’ll get in touch!
We generally try to post something new on our blog most Thursdays during the fall and spring semesters. For those who want to write something, we can help refine your ideas, prepare them for the blog format, and provide basic copyediting backup. These should be of broad interest to instructors at UM (though we have a global reach with our blog) and generally no more than roughly 1000 words in length.
