The Weller Room and Lending Library (LIB 212) 
This space devoted to CLTL events is also available as a (quiet) workspace each weekday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. Folks participating in the Scholarly/Creative Endeavors (SCE) work groups are especially encouraged to use this space before meeting for lunch, which is stocked with coffee, tea, condiments, cleaning supplies, and paper products. All faculty have swipe access to the space; those without access who are participating in SCE work groups may contact Jenn Rogan to activate your ID. If you wish to reserve the space for events that advance the CLTL mission, you may submit a request online. The Weller Room also has a Lending Library with texts on critical pedagogical studies, navigating higher education, DEIJAB in the classroom, and UDL. You may sign out books for up to one semester. Enjoy your read and return it to the Weller Room (LIB 212) when finished.

Supporting effective learning environments:  Resources for faculty
Over the past two years, members of the Working Group for Inclusive Teaching (supported by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute) worked to broadly understand the campus’s values around teaching and learning. The seven guiding principles for effective learning environments have been endorsed by CEPP and include: (1) Transparent and intentional design, (2) exploring concepts and practices across theoretical, cultural, and/or social differences, (3) fostering belonging, (4) ongoing pedagogical and professional growth and development by faculty and staff, (5) acknowledging and working to alleviate the impact of structural inequities on learning, and (6) promoting equitable access to learning. They have developed an extensive annotated bibliography to support faculty who would like new ways to incorporate guiding principles in their teaching.
