Book and POdcast Clubs

Most semesters, the Committee for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) selects one book related to teaching and learning and hosts a monthly book club. Some semesters, the CELT selects podcast episodes related to teaching and learning and hosts a podcast club. Each meeting lasts for one hour and provides participants the opportunity to discuss the book or podcast episodes with colleagues.  

CELT Podcast Club - Fall 2026

The Committee for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) invites you to participate in the Fall 2026 podcast club "Let's Discuss!"   

Over the course of the semester we will listen to podcasts which overview different discussion techniques, focus on specific discussion strategies, and give guidance on leading contentious conversations in your classroom. Each podcast will be paired with a short text. 

During the semester, we will meet to discuss the episodes. There will be a virtual option and an in-person meeting option each time.  Attend the option that works best for your schedule.    

  • In-Person: TBD
  • Virtual: TBD
