CTE Director Karie Huchting leading a workshop

The CTE provides professional development workshops for LMU faculty to continue our life-long learning. We offer a formative and constructive space for faculty, led by faculty. Events and workshops are open to all LMU faculty. Our goal is to build community, while we support and inspire each other. Please note that faculty presenters volunteer to share their expertise with our community.

Some events are earmarked for faculty only (e.g., no students & no staff). This is not intended to exclude members of our community, but rather to provide space where faculty can openly discuss the challenges we face with our teaching. Some events are open to all of our LMU community. Please read the description of the events and RSVP! If you forget to RSVP, you’re still most welcome to attend the event, but please note that food will be available based on RSVP numbers.

If you are an office on campus or a faculty member interested in offering an event through the CTE, please email teachers@lmu.edu to start the process of requesting an event. We look forward to seeing you at the CTE!

Pedagogy & Mission: Tues. 4/9 from 12-2pm, UHall 3030

Critical, antiracist, decolonial, feminist, access...and Ignatian? We all come to our classrooms with teaching strategies informed by our various disciplines and different pedagogical frameworks. For many of us, justice-oriented pedagogies have transformed our teaching. Where and how can we anchor those pedagogical approaches in the mission of LMU as a Catholic, Jesuit, and Marymount institution and in Ignatian pedagogy? How can Ignatian pedagogy empower us as teachers to embrace and deploy the tools of critical, antiracist, decolonial, feminist, and access pedagogies? Join us for a conversation – facilitated by 2024 Faculty Fellow in Mission and Ministry, Elizabeth Drummond (HIST) – about how we can integrate our disciplinary knowledge and pedagogical commitments with mission, about how we can imagine ourselves into the university mission as teachers. Interested in learning more about our mission, check out these Office of Mission and Ministry resources.

RSVP for lunch by 10am Mon. 4/8.
