Welcome to the Fall 2025 Professional Development Week (PDW)!
Theme: Level Up Your Teaching: Building Foundations
We’re excited for you to join us for professional development week! This event is CETL’s pre-semester conference where you can gain the professional development you need for the upcoming semester. PDW focuses on teaching techniques and tips that you can try this semester, technological trainings to help you gain the skills needed to utilize software and apps that support teaching, and networking to connect our campus community.
As you prepare your schedule, focus on the workshops that best suit your professional development goals and schedule. A wide range of offerings is provided, so pick the ones that will benefit you the most.
Ready to Teach courses and programs ensure instruction and design preparedness, promote assessment continuity, reduce short-notice instructor and course scheduling crises, establish uniform expectations, foster chair, faculty, and instructor collaboration and consensus, and eliminate stress for instructors new to a course, all while preserving instructor autonomy. Don't believe it? Join us for a discussion on the value of this stabilizing approach to course and program design.
