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.
When we think of excellent communicators, we probably don't think of the people yelling "Stee-rike!" behind home plate. Ironically, baseball umpires take communication incredibly seriously and offer us excellent lessons we can use at work and in the classroom. In this infobyte, you will learn from a real-life baseball umpire about how umpires consider perspective, audience, and discretion when managing the ball field. You may even have an opportunity to call strike three yourself! (No prior knowledge of baseball required.)
