Center for Excellence in TeachingTeaching Toolkits
Teaching Toolkits are curated collections of resources on a variety of instructional, discipline, and program topics. Each includes a brief introduction and selected materials—the foundation you need to get started quickly and confidently.
We plan to grow this collection over time. As new Toolkits are added, you’ll find even more ideas, strategies, and resources to support teaching across contexts and disciplines.
The First Day
The first day sets the tone for the entire semester. Discover activities to build community, strategies for setting community agreements, and tools to guide your instructional decisions. Inside you’ll find ready-to-use materials like a syllabus template, a faculty decision guide, and a short video on core principles of instruction—all to help you create an engaging and purposeful start to your semester.
