Co-created with a cohort of thoughtful students who served as student pedagogical partner fellows at TIIP in Fall 2025\, this resource includes frameworks to design effective student-centered syllabi that can serve as learning tools for students. The resource includes not only traditional syllabi but also graphic and video-based forms and practical guidance for how and why those types of versions may also be used.   \nAt the launch session we will give an overview of the resource\, describe how it was co-created\, and highlight various syllabus types just in time for the spring semester. We will also announce a special competition\, The Syllabus Challenge\, to highlight and recognize instructors at Rutgers-New Brunswick who reimagine their syllabi using the Syllabus Resource Library resources.   \nREGISTER  URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/launch-session-the-syllabus-resource-library-online/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="Institute for Teaching%2C Innovation%2C &%3B Inclusive Pedagogy":MAILTO:TeachingInstitute@rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260115T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260115T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T065034 CREATED:20251209T231216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251210T231032Z UID:3625-1768478400-1768482000@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Building an Effective Partnership with TAs DESCRIPTION:Are you an instructor who works with a graduate teaching assistant (or a team of TAs)?
