Join the CTRE’s expert facilitators for our annual workshop series, Teaching Tips
& Tools (T3). These 60-minute, interactive workshops bring instructors together to
hone their craft and practice strategies for inclusive teaching, teaching with technology,
and more. Each session has two goals in mind: improving student outcomes and making
teaching more fun, manageable, and rewarding for instructors.

Online Learning Consortium
What is it
The OLCis a collaborative community of faculty, staff, and faculty developers in higher education
that offers professional development opportunities for faculty who teach. CSU's membership
means that you can access webinars, guides, and other resources, as well as participate
in scheduled workshops, institutes, and certificate programs.
How to get started
All faculty members at CSU can start by creating an online account. From there, you can browse programs and resources as you please. The CTRE will also
be supporting registration for various programs and will promote them here on our
website and in our monthly CTRE Newsletter. Stay tuned for announcements!
Faculty Resource Network at NYU
The FRN is a professional development consortium sponsoring programs for faculty and
administrators from colleges and universities across the country. Each year, CSU purchases
an FRN membership that allows us to nominate faculty for the Network's Summer teaching development program at New York University, and the Winter program which takes place at a different location each year. Our membership also allows us
to nominate faculty for access to NYU Libraries and other special programs offered
on an ongoing basis. Contact the CTRE to find out more or express interest in one
or more of these programs. Funding for the summer program is not guaranteed; however,
registration, lodging, and meals are free.
