In partnership with the Office of the Provost, the TCLT offers a course design/redesign program for faculty to use to refresh or retool their teaching. The program utilizes the work of Dee Fink (Creating Significant Learning Experiences, 2013), and encourages the use of high impact practices, experiential and active learning strategies, and reflective assessment.

Activities are held annually prior to the start of the fall semester. Invitations are extended each year to all new faculty (full and part-time, tenure and non-tenure track). Information regarding teaching and research at the University of Michigan-Flint is presented, along with general information regarding programs and services available campus-wide.
In addition, all new faculty are invited to participate in an ongoing orientation program over the course of their first academic year at the University of Michigan-Flint. Sessions scheduled three to four times per semester and cover a range of topics including but not limited to teaching methods, research, service, assessment, and faculty governance.
Thanks to the generous support from Marian Wright, the TCLT is able to offer Teaching Circles. Each circle is awarded a $500 grant to support the group's activities.
