Dr. Cicely Wilson shares ways for the Rheumatology faculty to assess their teaching effectiveness.

She discussed the differences between course evaluations, teaching evaluations, and learning assessments, and how all three can provide a clear picture of growth and paths for continuous improvement.

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for the TLC, as our Director, Thomas Laughner, PhD takes on a new assignment.

For eight years, Dr. Laughner served UT Health Sciences and The Teaching and Learning Center overseeing the design, development, delivery and evaluation of TLC services and managing the continuity of analytics and support, faculty consultations, leadership and team development, instructional design and mapping, and evaluation and assessment of student learning outcomes.

His next chapter will be at St. Jude, working with the expansion of their PhD Program.

Thank you Dr. Laughner for your vision, passion for learning and your impact on student/faculty development.

An awesome round of sessions with the Teaching and Learning Center and UTHSC faculty!

Dr. Cicely Wilson and Federico Gomez-Uroz Horst, Instructional Consultants in the Teaching and Learning Center, led faculty through an engaging session on student-centered teaching.

During the session, faculty selected a teaching technique — such as experiential learning, team-based learning, case-based learning, problem-based learning, active learning, flipped classroom, or active lectures — and designed a lesson they could apply in their own courses.

The session emphasized practical strategies for increasing learner engagement, participation, and success across teaching environments.

Also, Instructional Consultant for the TLC, Dr. Devin Scott gave powerful insight to faculty within The College of Health Professions!
