The Center for Teaching partners with colleges, departments, and units to support instructor development, inclusivity, and other aspects of teaching excellence at Iowa. These partnerships can take the form of a workshop, a retreat, a sparkshop or sparkshop series, or a book club. (Sparkshops are interactive and evidence-based short workshops that can be tailored to a department and/or discipline.)

Consultations are designed to facilitate collaborative conversations on topics such as:  

  • course design,  

  • curriculum development, 

  • inclusive teaching,  

  • active engagement, and 

  • teaching evaluation.
