CTL Workshop Series
Ten for Teaching
Workshops in the Ten for Teaching series focus on these essential classroom teaching skills:
- using summative and formative assessment
- creating engaging, effective, and welcoming learning environments
- implementing learner-centered course policies
- communicating with students
New instructors are especially encouraged to participate in these workshops, although all instructors are welcome to attend. These workshops are aligned with the outcomes of the CTL’s Evidence-Based Teaching Certificate and support instructors in building the skills they need in order to earn the certificate.
Talking Teaching
These sessions provide space for informal, but guided, conversations about topics that are timely and important to educators at Boise State. They are intended to promote meaningful interaction between educators at all levels of experience, and allow participants to build relationships and make connections. Each session will be led by one or more faculty members who have experience with the topic.

Partner Sessions
In addition to CTL sponsored sessions, the CTL also partners with other campus units to offer workshops on specific teaching and learning topics.
Affordable Learning Materials
The six workshops in the Affordable Learning Materials (ALM) series, offered as a collaborative effort between the Albertsons Library, the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Department of World Languages, the eCampus Center, and other partners, are designed to provide comprehensive training and support for instructors.
Educators who participate in all 6 workshops will earn the ALM Certificate. All faculty and staff are welcome to attend any of these sessions, regardless of whether they pursue the ALM Certificate.
Artificial Intelligence
The CTL offers and hosts a variety of workshops on how AI can be used responsibly and effectively for teaching and learning. Just getting started thinking about AI? Consider yourself an advanced AI user? We have workshops for educators at either of these levels, and those in between! All sessions are designed for participants to try ideas, empowering them to implement new strategies in their teaching.
Effective Program Assessment
The CTL partners with the Office of Institutional Effectiveness to provide ongoing support for programs in their assessment of student learning. CTL staff are also available to consult with programs as they develop and implement their program assessment plans.
