Do you have a great idea for a professional development workshop for our faculty? Please submit a workshop proposal. We welcome cross-discipline and co-facilitation of workshops on teaching and learning. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) Mind/Brain Education, Engaged Pedagogies, Flipped Classroom, Diversity, Deep Learning Strategies, Technology, Understanding College Pedagogy, Contextualization, Mentoring Students, Working with International Students, and Universal Design for Learning. Workshops are to include active attendee participation, an in-depth treatment of a topic, pre/post tests, and handouts.
An email receipt will acknowledge each proposal and letters of invitation to present the workshop will be emailed to the lead facilitator. The CTL will work with you to determine dates, times and rooms.
