In case you missed it or want a refresher of this workshop, read on!
This workshop marked the launch of the first CRTLE faculty gathering for Spring semester, 2025 and we were off to a great start!
We had a fabulous workshop on “Starting the Semester Strong” at the UTA Center for Research on Teaching and Learning Excellence with engaging faculty presenters, networked knowledge, and interactive dialogue about starting the semester strong and focused! Thanks to everyone who came and shared!
Dr. Larry Nelson shared about how the engagement ideas from Dave Burgess’s Teach Like a Pirate program have inspired his teaching in kinesiology! Dr. Nelson especially loves the aesthetic engagement “hook” techniques.
We also heard from Dr. Andrew Clark, myself, Dr. Beth Fleener, Dr. Kevin Carr, and Dr. Jeff Witzel.

Dr. Rosie Kallie (below), Associate Professor of Instruction in Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering, engaged faculty in her advice for faculty on providing effective and interesting instruction in week 1! Here she wore a “clean room” lab outfit to talk about her previous job to future engineers in her course. She and other faculty facilitators and CRTLE staff presented topics and facilitated dialogue in our session “Starting the Semester Strong and Focused. Stay tuned for future workshops and resources!
