Summer 2024 Schedule
All are welcome to attend CAT's workshop series which empowers participants to expand their pedagogical knowledge, explore varied teaching strategies, and apply these methods effectively to enhance student learning and success.
When incorporating new instructional strategies into your teaching, you can collect feedback from students, peers, and engage in self-reflection to assess their impact on learning. This feedback can be part of your annual review and provide additional evidence of your professional growth and dedication to teaching excellence.
In an effort to accommodate your schedules, we offer identical sessions on different dates for most workshops and on-demand options that can be accessed at any time from anywhere!

Evidence-Based Teaching: Collecting & Using Data from Students to Improve Course Design & Teaching
During this interactive 90-minute workshop participants will understand various types of student data on teaching and methods for collecting them (e.g., measure pre and post), identify a type of student data that might offer useful insight into your teaching and method of data collection, and understand how to transform data into useful feedback that can be used to improve/guide future instructional practices.

Introduction to Feedback Box
Collecting student feedback in your courses can provide useful insights into your teaching practices and be a source of data for teaching evaluation. Feedback Box, a safe and anonymous tool for collecting student feedback within Canvas, can be a great way to get started on this. In this introductory workshop, you will learn more about leveraging Feedback Box to get actionable feedback from your students. We will discuss what Feedback Box is, how it works, and why it matters.Facilitated by Gáramis Campusano, EdTech Specialist, Center for the Advancement of Teaching

What is Learning, and How to Facilitate It
Teachers teach students not subjects. If teaching is facilitating learning in unique individuals rather than disseminating knowledge to generalized others, then teachers need a functioning theory of learning. Teachers need to have a concept of what it is they are trying to facilitate. This workshop will explore experiential learning theory and its use in college teaching. The theory provides a clear and pragmatic framework for course design as well as class design. In addition, it provides both students and faculty with a tool for their own self-directed learning.
