LOEX 2026

The Georgia Tech Library launched a new subject librarian model, with teams sharing responsibility for outreach, consultations, and instruction across seven Colleges. Some librarians were seasoned teachers, others just finding their sea legs, but all needed to know the ropes to ensure consistent, high-quality teaching. To anchor our efforts, we turned to the Critical Teaching Behaviors (CTB) framework, creating a shared compass for effective practices. Through workshops, surveys, and collaborative retreats, we mapped CTB categories to library examples and integrated UDL and ACRL strategies. This session charts our process and offers practical tools for reflection, peer training, and sustainable instructional leadership.

Participants will:
1. Identify examples of Critical Teaching Behaviors (CTB) that align with best practices in course-integrated instruction
2. Discuss strategies for applying the CTB framework in their own instructional leadership
3. Reflect on how the CTB framework can foster a culture of teaching excellence in their institutions
