Center for Excellence in Inclusive Teaching and Learning
The Center for Excellence in Inclusive Teaching & Learning (CEITL) supports the pursuit of inclusive teaching excellence by
- promoting reflection and conversation about teaching and learning;
- offering evidence-based resources and professional development opportunities;
- creating opportunities for community and collaborative engagement on shared interests and challenges;
- fostering a culture of inclusive practice so that all students, faculty, and staff feel that they belong and thrive at Parkside.
CEITL believes in the value of community and collaboration. We do not seek to impose a single pedagogical approach on the university’s instructors, but rather celebrate and learn from the rich diversity of instructional styles practiced on our campus.

Bridging the Divide: Faculty Facilitating Constructive Conversations in the Classroom
A Workshop for UW-Parkside Faculty funded by The Tommy Thompson Center for Public Leadership
When: January 21-23, 2025, 9:00 AM-3:30 PM
Do you shy away from controversial topics in your classroom?
Do you feel unprepared to navigate divisive issues with your students?
In our increasingly polarized society, controversial conversations can arise in any setting, yet it is in the classroom that we have the opportunity to teach students how to engage respectfully and productively with others with whom they disagree. You may feel unprepared to facilitate these conversations whether you have intentionally planned them or they arise organically. This in-person workshop for faculty is designed to provide you with the tools, support, and encouragement you need to create deliberate dialogue opportunities in your courses that will prepare your students for engaged civil dialogue after graduation.
Participants who successfully complete the initial training and submit a final reflection about their implementation in one or more classes the following semester will receive a stipend of $1,000 and a certificate.
Please register by Nov. 1 for full consideration. The program is capped at 12 participants and we ask that you commit to participating in person. If the January dates do not work for your schedule, please be aware that we plan to offer the program again in June.
