New Educator Resources

CETL is your educator development center, serving faculty, instructional academic staff, adjunct instructors, visiting instructors, and any staff member who wants to learn more about teaching or student learning.

Teaching Academy (New Educator Orientation)

This week-long academy is an orientation to teaching and learning on campus. The primary purpose is exploring evidence-based and inclusive teaching practices to prepare for the upcoming academic year. You will have an opportunity to engage with other new educators and campus educator mentors. Whether you are a new or experienced educator, you will have opportunities to select from a variety of topics to ensure an impactful experience.

Teaching Academy occurs annually in August. Please check back in Spring 2025 for details on the August 2025 Teaching Academy.
