Welcome to the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning

UW's Teaching & Learning Center

Instructor Support for Student Success

The Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Wyoming is dedicated to enhancing teaching and learning across campus. We are here to support faculty, staff and graduate students by providing resources and opportunities for professional development. Through workshops, consultations and specialized training we help UW’s educators find and foster their most effective teaching strategies. ECTL strives to empower educators to refine their teaching practices and find success and joy in their work, leading to improved student outcomes across the university!

MISSION & VISION

Although we are honored to be partially funded by the John P. Ellbogen Foundation, we are not directly affiliated with their programming. For more information about their work, check out their website!
