Workshops and Events

Spring 2025 Teaching Workshops

CATLOE's teaching workshops and benchwork sessions are highly interactive. They replicate active learning so you can experience what it might be like to use evidence-based strategies, methods, or techniques in your own classrooms. All of our events provide guided support for implementing what you’ve learned in your teaching.

Instructional Leadership Academy: Course Design to Foster Student Success

Opening workshop May 30, 10:00 – 12:00 noon
Design workshops June 2 - 6, 10:00 – 11:30 am
All sessions will be offered virtually through Zoom.
Application Deadline: May 16, 2025. There are a limited number of seats for this Academy. 

As an instructor, you want a course that challenges your students, helps them navigate and manage their learning, and is easy for you to facilitate. Can you have it all? Yes, you can! Whether you're teaching in person, online, or something in between, a well-designed course is the key to your students' success and engagement--and your sanity! This Academy guides you through the steps of backward course design with support and feedback from colleagues. You will engage in a series of short, interactive workshops leading you through the process of designing or re-designing a course that invites your students into the thinking (and the excitement!) of your discipline. Before each workshop, you will complete a short homework assignment that allows you to make concrete progress on your course design. By the end of the Academy, you will have built the foundation for a course that engages students with rigorous, authentic work and provides a path to their success! After the Academy, you will have ongoing support from an instructional consultant as you implement your new design. 

In order to ensure that all participants have the best possible experience, we ask that you commit to attending all six meetings of the Course Design Academy and completing homework assignments each day.
