ECTL Events

Following the model of the Great Teachers Movement, our Summer Institute is based on the philosophy that well-facilitated shoptalk is one of the highest forms of professional development. No individual "expert" can match the collective knowledge, experience, wisdom, creativity, and genius of any group of teachers actively involved in their profession. The participants are the "experts" at the retreat.

This workshop focuses on the MOST ESSENTIAL tools to get your WyoCourses class websites up and running as quickly as possible! This session will give you hands-on assistance setting up the basic functionality for your course.

These day-long events will feature UW educators and ECTL educational developers sharing teaching strategies that have an impact on student learning. Full agenda and registration coming soon. Attendees are welcome to attend for the entire day (lunch provided), sporadically as schedules allow, or request video recordings of workshop sessions.

Every other year (odd years), the Ellbogen Center for Teaching & Learning chooses a book relevant to faculty, staff, and administrators of the University of Wyoming to discuss in-depth. Each participant who registers receives a complimentary copy of the book. There are several groups available, each typically capped at 10 participants to provide an environment where conversation and communication can be most effective.  Those who participate in the discussion sessions are often invited to an event with the author the following Fall semester.

In collaboration with the Office of Academic Affairs, the ECTL is offering a workshop to help programs work through curriculum maps, looking at student learning outcomes (SLOs), courses offered, mapping student learning, and so on. Some programs will be better equipped to complete curriculum maps than others, thus this session will attempt to meet programs where they are in a workshop format where many templates for mapping will be utilized.

Members of the UW campus community are invited to join the ECTL Assessment Team and University Assessment Coordinators in celebrating successes in assessment for student learning at UW.

The ECTL SoTL Initiative invites 10-12 University of Wyoming Instructors (faculty, staff, and graduate teaching assistants are encouraged to apply) who are interested in SoTL to attend the Kennesaw State University 31th Annual Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Summit. This will take place September 19th-20th, 2024.

In conjunction with the SoTL Summit Watch Party, on September 20 from 12:30 -1:30 pm, Members of the campus academic community are invited to celebrate and discuss the work of our own SoTL scholars and graduate students on teaching and learning. This is an opportunity to share ideas, discuss findings, and reflect on student learning.

This 1.5 hour workshop will introduce you to the basics of bullet journaling and how to adapt it to the unique needs of grad student life.
