Workshops By Request | Home

CTLT educational development staff members have deep knowledge on a broad range of topics that support campus educators' student engagement and achievement goals. Our "Workshops by Request" provide more opportunities for sessions tailored to departmental or unit priorities.

A "Workshop By Request" can be requested by departments chairs/heads, deans or associate deans, or a faculty member representing a minimum of five additional faculty colleagues. Requesters are invited to arrange with CTLT staff a specific workshop session on topics of broad appeal at a time and place most convenient for interested participants.

The list of workshops below are topics that are of particular interest to many departments. More will be added over time. Custom workshop can also be created. Inquire with the CTLT to discuss the best option for your department or unit.

  • Sessions are generally 50 minutes; longer sessions are possible based on conversations with the facilitator.
  • Scheduling is first come, first served based on CTLT staff availability.
  • When possible, we recommend scheduling a session at least one quarter before the desired date.

Our workshops are grouped by theme (some workshops may appear in more than one theme). Click on a theme to see full workshop descriptions and to make a request. Or go directly to the Workshops By Request request form page here.
