Spring break is a great time to reinvigorate your teaching as you head into the last half of the semester. It’s also a great time to plan ahead for the summer and fall. This year, the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT) has a lot to offer March 10-14 during Spring Institute.
The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology offers two workshops this week to enhance how you communicate visually.

Securing a grant to fund your research requires more than just a good idea; it takes a well-crafted, persuasive appeal. A new workshop recently added to the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology’s upcoming Spring Institute aims to help faculty write persuasive grant proposals.

As teachers, we’re often the first to encounter questions or issues related to a student’s well-being. There’s a lot of help across the Illinois State University campus for students. But we may not always know how to connect students with the help they need … or if it’s even our place to do so.
This week, the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology launches a new Teaching Excellence Series, “It Takes a Campus.” This sequence of four workshops is designed to introduce faculty to the kinds of issues students are likely to bring to the classroom. Participants will learn how to connect students with the support they critically need.
It may be a shorter work week because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday observance, but at the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology, it will also be a busy one. From our popular introduction to Microsoft Excel, to using Clickers in the classroom, to a highly requested workshop on Prezi, there really is something for everyone this week. Plus, seats are still available—though filling fast—for these workshops!
The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology is pleased to once again offer a wide variety of technology-oriented workshops for faculty and staff.
