Center for Teaching and Learning

New2OSU is focused on impacting student success by accelerating the effectiveness of newer faculty. Completion of the program may be used as evidence of professional development, teaching effectiveness for performance review (subject to supervisor approval), and for those seeking teaching renewal. Successful completion earns a University Teaching Certificate of Recognition (non-credit).

New2OSU partners with units across campus and uses a HyFlex approach to support the advancement of teaching and use of educational technology. In collaborative cohorts, participants also learn about OSU's policies and practices; our teaching and learning culture; and available resources for teaching and scholarship.

At the end of the program participants will have developed the knowledge and skills necessary to build supportive, inclusive, interactive, and instructionally sound learning environments. Through readings, videos, workshops, mentoring, teaching observations, discussions, reflection, and challenging learning tasks, participants learn about and demonstrate effective teaching practices. Faculty wishing to earn the Certificate (non-credit) are asked to commit to a three-term intensive program requiring (on average) 3 hours per week and (on average) 30 hours per term.

Now offering "non-credit" Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for those in need of OR license renewals! Be sure to confirm all state rules for requirements.

Are you interested in becoming a Reflective Teaching Mentor?

The goals of a Reflective Teaching Mentor (RTM) are to support and forward a teacher’s thinking as they formulate their questions and advance their teaching knowledge and skills. We ask that you do classroom visits together as well as collect, analyze, and respond to their student input and data. As a Reflective Mentor we ask for a three-term commitment to partner with your mentee while they are enrolled in New2OSU.

We hope you will consider joining our team!
