Make an appointment with a CTL designer or teaching mentor. We're happy to meet with you to discuss any issues related to your teaching. We can help you design a brand new course or redesign and old one. We can help you come up with assessment plans, engaging activities, high impact practices, and accessible course design. We're also happy to help you brainstorm solutions for difficult classroom issues. If you're struggling to get your students engaged, if you're concerned about your CTEs, or if you're trying to document teaching effectiveness for your annual review.

Cortland REACH: Title II

REACH (Resources for Equitable and Accessible Course Help) is a collaboration between Technology Services, the Library, Disability Resources, and the Center for Teaching and Learning. This group works to support faculty as they update materials to fulfill the updated Title II regulations. Here you will find links to Accessibility Workshops, one-on-on training opportunities, and explanations of the Title II requirement. We are continuously updating this page as we get more information to ensure that faculty have the resources they need to meet the new expectations.
