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.

Missed or Missing Your Department’s Workshop?

CELT is offering several university-wide sessions of the ISU Annual Student-Centered Learning Workshop (AY26–27) for those who missed it with their home department. After you complete the program, CELT will confirm your attendance with your department and send you a copy for your records.

All sessions are online. View the AY26-27 Schedule (xlsx), choose the date that works best for you, and register through the Microsoft Teams link. You may need to sign in first: log in with your Iowa State account through the My Apps Microsoft dashboard, then return to the scheduled to register.
