CEILS Annual Faculty Teaching Workshop

“I have absolutely loved this experience! The CEILS team and facilitators were extremely knowledgeable and supportive.”
“I feel more connected to a teaching/instructing learning community. I also gained a new awareness of how many resources there are to assess your teaching and improve your teaching.”
“It was really helpful and I loved connecting with other instructors with similar missions.”
“This experience educated and helped me grow in profound and lasting ways. This is a reflection of the time and attention you have put into creating it. You have not only taught me much, but have encouraged thought and self-reflection, and have modeled what you have taught and discussed.”

Save the Date: August 25th, 2026

This year, our annual workshop will focus on some of our core pedagogical principles for teaching in STEM, with new emphasis on topics such as supporting neurodivergent students and considering generative AI. Our goal is to provide you with resources, concrete strategies, and practices to maximize or maintain student learning.

Registration opens June 11th. Please check back for a full topic schedule and to RSVP!

All are welcome to join this community of caring instructors who are excited to talk about teaching! We especially encourage instructors who either are relatively new to college teaching or who have instructional responsibilities in large enrollment gateway courses for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) majors.

Some benefits of participating in faculty workshop

  1. Record your participation in your dossier as evidence of your efforts to improve teaching and as an activity that helps promote equal opportunity and diversity in education. Such efforts in both categories, on behalf of all faculty, are now a recognized component of the promotion and tenure process at UCLA (see APM 210-1, and Appendix 41).
  2. Connect with a community of instructors who are invested in advancing STEM teaching at UCLA.
  3. Learn new pedagogical skills or get a refresher on skills you already have
