Professional Development

One of our goals in the CTEI is to provide faculty with opportunities to grow as educators and explore new technologies and innovative ideas. One way is by providing workshops that are offered both face-to-face and online. All online workshops are recorded and available to faculty for later viewing. Watch your Outlook calendar for invitations. All virtual workshop invitations will include the links to log in for virtual sessions.

Light refreshments will be served at face-to-face (F2F) sessions. Training sessions last about an hour.

CTEI Training

Our training classes are sent to all faculty through an Outlook invitation. If you are not receiving these regular invitations (approximately 2 to 4 invitations each month), please contact CTEI@rush.edu to be added to the distribution list.

We all love our toys, there is no question, but how do you know when you’re using too much tech? Technology is great, but foundational teaching techniques are even more important! We’ll spend an hour with some good old fashioned teaching theory!

My way or your way…We all have a way in which we best learn. Odds are, every student in your class has a different preferred learning style, which can make it difficult. Use these various methods into your teaching, reaching the majority of your students.

Neuroscience and Education go hand in hand and we’re learning more about how we learn every day! It makes sense to promote brain-based learning - but what does that mean? We’ll talk about some of the simple ways to encourage our students to maximize their potential.
