Issued by
University of Colorado Boulder
Teaching International Students (TIS) prepares faculty, graduate students, and teaching staff to offer international students an equitable academic experience. Grounded in concepts of inclusive pedagogy, universal design for learning, and intercultural competence, participants gain understanding of international students' unique experiences and needs. Workshops and a capstone project apply learning to instructional design, teaching/mentoring practices, and fostering success beyond the classroom.
