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.
Supporting reading in classes becomes more difficult every year. Learn to harness the power of Google NotebookLM's AI to synthesize your lecture materials and required reading. The AI can then build chatbots for Q&A, create reading outlines, and generate podcasts. Use the tool to increase comprehension of your content -- and teach your students to use it, too!
