In the CTE Celebration of College Teaching on April 30, CTE awarded 41 Certificates in Foundations of Teaching, 131 Graduate Teacher Certificates, 23 Teacher Scholar Certificates, 13 Certificates in Technology-Enhanced Teaching, and 11 Citizen Scholar Certificates. This was the largest number of certificates earned in the CTE Certificate Program to date. Congratulations to all of the certificate recipients.

Call for Presenters: August 2013 Pre-Semester TA Development Programs
Faculty, academic professionals, and experienced TAs are invited to participate as presenters and facilitators in the Graduate Academy for College Teaching (August 19-20, 2013), CTE's program for new TAs with classroom teaching responsibilities, and/or the Graduate Symposium on Grading & Office Hours (August 20, 2013), our program for those TAs with non-classroom responsibilities. There are opportunities to create your own concurrent session, teach a required lesson, or facilitate microteaching sessions. Click here for more details and to submit a proposal by June 14th.

Fall Excellent Teacher List
The Fall 2012 "List of Teachers Ranked as Excellent By Their Students" was published in the Daily Illini on March 27th. Congratulations to all the instructors who made the list!

ICES Request Deadline
The deadline for requesting individualized ICES for the Spring 2013 semester is April 19. One ICES request form is needed for each section you teach. If we do not receive your request form(s) by April 19, we cannot produce individualized ICES sheets. After this date, we will have a limited supply of generic ICES sheets available at our ICES desk in 247 Armory Bldg (Mon-Fri, 8:30-Noon and 1-5pm).

Senior Survey Campus Report
The campus report of the 2012 Chancellor's Senior Survey on the Undergraduate Experience is available on our web site. Past survey results are archived as well.

Summer 2013 EPI
Summer 2013 EPI registration will begin June 3 for testing July 9 through August 1. Registration is now online. A link will be sent to departmental liaisons four weeks prior to the start of testing. For more information please click here.

ICES Longitudinal Profile Request Form
We have moved from e-mail and phone requests to purely web-based ICES longitudinal profile requests. We hope this speeds up our processing of profiles and ensures that we have all the information needed to complete the profile. The secure (University log-in required) request form is available here. It takes approximately 10-14 days for us to process and return the ICES Longitudinal Profile.
