Teaching Excellence Institute

Summer 2026 Update

The Teaching Excellence Institute leadership team is hitting pause on TEI for summer 2026. With so much energy going into the LMS migration to Brightspace — for both faculty and CETAL staff — the leadership team felt this was the right time to step back, catch our breath, and come back with something even better for TEI 2027.

We will use the coming academic year to redesign the institute from the ground up, including:

  • Moving and updating online components into Brightspace
  • Refreshing institute topics to reflect current developments in teaching and learning
  • Incorporating new content on generative AI and its role in the classroom

TEI will return in June 2027, reimagined and ready to support your continued growth as an educator.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to sharing the new TEI with you. Stay tuned for updates throughout the year.
