Teaching, Learning & Assessment

Winter Institute 2026

In the spirit of providing year-round opportunities, especially during times when you have more availability to engage with the content, we’ve designed TLA/CAT Winter Institute 2026 programming to help you innovate pedagogy, share perspectives, continue your progress toward Title II compliance for the Spring 2026 semester, and more.

All participants need to submit the Winter Institute 2026 Reflection Form to share how they will incorporate their learning into their Spring 2026 courses.
