Support and Resources for UW Educators

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!
