The Teaching Newsletter

The Teaching Newsletter provides just-in-time resources and insights to help UCSC educators create engaging, inclusive, and impactful learning experiences.

Published on Thursdays, the newsletter is released twice each quarter during the academic year.

The Teaching Newsletter is automatically sent to all UCSC faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and staff.
