Support for every pedagogical path
At the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), we recognize that GW faculty, students, and staff hold diverse perspectives on generative AI in education. Our goal is to offer resources, workshops, and community support tailored to your needs and goals as an educator. Your disciplinary expertise and course context will be among the factors guiding your approach to AI. Informed use, informed resistance, and any position in between are valid and necessary paths to advance student learning in this rapidly changing landscape.
Our resources are designed to help you identify evidence-based strategies that promote student success, foster human-centered learning, and maintain transparency and trust, regardless of your approach to AI. As you design your courses and activities, we encourage you to be intentional and reflective about your course goals from the outset and to build your own AI literacy.
In addition to the written resources below, LAI and CTE offer a wide range of supports, including:
- One-on-one teaching consultations to discuss your specific course and teaching context
- Campus-wide workshops available to all educators on specific topics
- Custom workshops scheduled and designed by request for units and departments
- Teaching groups (e.g., communities of practice, book groups) to explore ideas with colleagues
- Course Design Institute to completely redesign your course for the age of AI
From experimenting with tools, to redesigning assessments, to facilitating department conversations, CTE is here to support you. Reach out to teaching@gwu.edu if you can’t find what you are looking for here.

Generative AI and Teaching Group (GAIT)
This page and these resources are maintained by CTE and the Generative AI and Teaching Group (GAIT). GAIT brings together faculty from across GW to discuss the impact of emerging GenAI capability on teaching and learning, explore institutional issues around pedagogy arising from GenAI, and gather high-quality resources for effectively teaching students to thrive in this changing educational landscape. To join this group, contact Karen Singer-Freeman, the Associate Dean of Teaching and Learning Excellence. The group meets monthly on Zoom; all are welcome to attend.
