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. Attendees will engage with colleagues to share ideas and informed
practices in assessment for student learning.
The Summer Institute is founded on the model of the Great Teachers Movement, which
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.
The John P. Ellbogen Summer Institute is funded by an endowment from the Ellbogen
Foundation and the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Past book choices have been Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto by Kevin M. Gannon, and Relationship-Rich Education: How Human Connections Drive Success in College by Peter Felten and Leo M. Lambert.
These half-day events feature UW educators and ECTL educational developers sharing
innovative teaching strategies that significantly impact student learning. Presentations
may include strategies that engage with digital communication, inclusive pedagogy,
critical thinking, community service, and assessing student learning.
Attendees are welcome to attend for the entire half-day (lunch provided), sporadically
as schedules allow, or request video recordings of workshop sessions.
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.
