This event is part of the Teaching Enrichment Series.

Gain foundational knowledge about neurodiversity and learn some practical classroom approaches that increase inclusion for neurodivergent students and are helpful for all students.

Curious about team-based learning (TBL) and want to go a little deeper in the facilitation aspect? Join CEI and Prof. Diana Langworthy, College of Pharmacy, to get a brief overview of TBL and then learn more about facilitating a TBL activity.

To get a foundational understanding of TBL, we invite you to watch the April 2026 TBL webinar (50 mins) Prf. Langworthy facilitated.

Instructors from any/all disciplines are welcome to attend.

Set the tone for a strong semester! In Opening Moves: Strategies for Day One Success, we'll explore practical ways to reduce anxiety—for you and your students—and plan an impactful first day. You'll leave with ideas for what to do before, during, and after day one to create a welcoming classroom from the start.

This workshop will prepare instructors to (re)design their assignments in light of the challenges and affordances of generative AI (Gen AI) tools. We'll discuss how Gen AI can support and impede learning, identify considerations for assessment, and explore examples of AI-aware assignments from different disciplines. You'll leave the workshop with a process to help you consider and align your AI-related decisions in assignments and assessments with your learning goals. 

This event is part of the Teaching of Enrichment Series.

Your Student Ratings of Teaching (SRT) represent more than just a score; they reflect how students experienced your course. As you prepare for the upcoming academic year, you can use previous SRT data and student feedback as a practical guide to design and deliver your courses. Whether you received stellar reviews or faced a challenging semester, you will learn to distinguish between one-off comments and meaningful patterns. You will leave with a clear plan to lean into your strengths and address the areas that didn't go as planned—all with the goal of creating a better experience for both you and your students.

Preparation: Please have your most recent SRT report available for private reference. You will not be asked to share this data with other participants.

Are you new to Generative AI tools like Google Gemini and wondering how to integrate them into your courses? In this workshop, participants will consider how Generative AI tools align with their teaching goals, how they might leverage these tools for assignments, how they may need to rethink assessments, and how course policies like academic integrity may need to be reconsidered.
