Each year, and now in its seventh year, all faculty members are required by the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost (SVPP) to participate in the ISU Annual Student‑Centered Learning Workshop. This requirement reflects Iowa State’s land‑grant mission by supporting a shared commitment to teaching that helps all students learn deeply and apply their knowledge beyond the classroom.

Facilitated by the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), the workshop offers faculty a collective space for reflection, collaboration, and discussion of evidence‑based instructional practices.

Important: There’s no pre-work necessary for this year’s program.

Then, use the MS Booking form (MS Booking) to request a date and time for your unit to host the 1-hour facilitated program.  Once CELT confirms the requested time, you will receive a calendar invite via Outlook. This invitation will include Microsoft Teams details for online workshops or the in-person location you provided, and you can forward it to faculty members.
