Spring 2025 Events & Programming Overview

Find all of CATL’s events and programming all in one place! We already have several exciting opportunities planned for Spring 2025, so mark your calendars.

“Teaching Today’s UWGB Students” Event Series & Canvas Course

As we head into a new semester, you may be asking yourself, who are the students in my classroom and why do they learn so differently than I did back in the day? Let’s ignore the fact that your college professors likely thought the same thing when you and your peers entered their classrooms and concentrate instead on how to engage and reach today’s students, the focus of CATL’s spring programming. Join us for “Teaching Today’s UWGB Students,” including three events and a Canvas shell of resources.

  • Insights from Secondary School Educators on Our Current & Future Students | Monday, Feb. 17, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
  • Growing Your Mindset | Friday, Mar. 7, 9 – 10 a.m.
  • Teaching with Transparency | Friday, Apr. 4, 9 – 10 a.m.

Co-Writing Community

Tara DaPra, one of CATL’s Instructional Development Consultants, will lead another “Co-Writing Community” this semester via Zoom from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. on Tuesdays & Fridays, starting Jan. 28. A co-writing community is a zero-obligation, zero-preparation, zero-outside work activity. Use this time to work on creative or scholarly projects that might otherwise get pushed aside by the demands of teaching. All faculty and staff are welcome!

Teaching with Technology Certificate (LITE 101, 201, & 301 Courses)
