Sharpening Your Craft: From Student Teaching Growth to Lifelong Learning

About the Webinar:

Speakers: Dr. Aaron Beighle and Dr. Robert Pangrazi
Date: Tuesday, October 14th 2025
Time: 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm CDT

Webinar Description:

Walk away with ideas you can use tomorrow—whether you’re teaching, mentoring, or both.

This Huddle brings together perspectives from higher education, experienced teachers, and those just beginning their journey to explore how we can better support one another. We’ll share ideas for creating places where teachers at every stage feel comfortable voicing challenges and celebrating wins. The conversation will highlight best practices that promote collaboration, innovation, and achievable goal setting, ensuring growth feels both inspiring and realistic. By modeling a lifelong learning approach, we set the tone for teachers to take risks, reflect, and continually evolve. This session will apply whether you are a new teacher, an experienced teacher mentoring others, or somewhere in between—seeking a network of your own or simply looking to refresh your teaching practice.
