CETL programs
CETL supports teachers across rank and discipline, building an imaginative, resourceful and connected campus-wide and online teaching culture. We create occasions for faculty to develop and refresh their pedagogy and andragogy in dialogue with one another, and to engage with campus, national and scholarly conversations about excellence in higher education.
Moreover, CETL helps the students to work, integrating technology into the classroom, establishing classroom and mentoring dynamics, interpreting evaluations, writing skills, developing innovative assignments and presentations, managing self to live life mindfully. Green University Initiative for Future Transformer (GIFT) project has been offering for developing students’ soft skills and well-being techniques.
CETL involves four major programs:
(i) Academic Courses
(ii) Certificate Courses
(iii) Trainings
(vi) Projects and Programs
Academic Courses
The teachers of CETL take or conduct several academic courses with a vision/aim to develop standardized curriculum, instructional designs and best teaching and learning practices. All the fundamental and basic courses of general education are taken, such as Bangladesh Studies, Ethics, Ethics and Environmental Protections, Introduction to Psychology course, Basic Math and Physics etc.
Certificate Courses
CETL offers Certificate course in Teaching and Learning (CTL) which is a 3 and half month course for newly recruited faculty members at Green University of Bangladesh. It is a mandatory requirement for the fresher teachers at GUB. Since 2014 Fall Semester CETL has taken this course for strengthening teaching and learning capacity of teachers and follows up their achieved learning from demonstrated workshops throughout the semester. Co-teaching approach is followed for conducting this course.
Trainings at CETL
Capacity development is a major function of CETL. Ensuring continuous developments of skills, capacities, competences and professional techniques of all the stakeholders of GUB, CETL organizes several workshops and training workshops and events. A conceptual framework on capacity development of faculty members and nonacademic staff has been shown in the next page.
All the training events and workshops are required to be planned, designed, implemented and evaluated based on this framework. Team work approach is followed for planning, designing, implementing and evaluating any workshops, training and events under the supervision of CETL coordinator and advisor.
