Get ready to transform your teaching! This year’s lineup features rich programming designed to help you elevate your courses. We’re also collaborating with the Graduate School, Division of Student Success, OIT, and University Analytics, to offer cross-listed sessions that provide even more professional development opportunities.
This year’s schedule now includes the UT System Webinar Series 2025–2026, organized by the UT System Academy of Distinguished Teachers and UT System Educational Developers. These monthly sessions focus on the value of the core curriculum and feature faculty-led discussions on innovative teaching and learning practices.
