CTL: Talk Like Bill and Barack

Charismatic speakers like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have an amazing ability to stay focused in the present. They're very comfortable and grounded when they speak. Their message reaches everyone in the audience. Every great communicator speaks from this place. You can too! Tune-up your communication skills in this short workshop. Here's what you'll learn:
  • Non-verbal communication that shows you're fully "present"
  • How to stay comfortable and grounded no matter what's happening in the classroom

CTL: Writing Measurable Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes are a critical component of the teaching and learning process. They act as a guide for learners and educators and indicate what the learners will know and do by the end of a specified course or program. In this workshop, participants will learn how to write and implement effective, measurable outcomes that align with course content and assessments.
