Teaching at Vanderbilt (TAV) is our annual orientation session for all new full-time and part-time faculty. TAV is an opportunity for new faculty to meet each other and to learn how our team can support them throughout their Vanderbilt careers.

TAV offers sessions on:

  • Designing a course and preparing for the first day
  • Using Brightspace, Vanderbilt's learning management system
  • AI prompt engineering for teaching needs
  • Classroom climate and difficult conversations
  • Active learning strategies

Please Note: TAV is distinct from and complementary to the general New Faculty Orientation sponsored by the Provost's Office. Thus, faculty who will play an instructional role at Vanderbilt are encouraged to attend both events.
