SUMMARY:Teaching and Learning in an Age of Precarious Student Visas
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, there has been a dramatic increase in student visa cancellations and other challenges to students’ ability to remain in the US.

SUMMARY:Language Teaching Spring Showcase Show & Tell 2025
DESCRIPTION:The CTL and Coalition for Language Teaching & Learning invite language instructors from across departments to participate in our Spring Showcase Show & Tell Event on Friday\, April 4th from 3:30-4:30pm\, with happy hour to follow from 4:30-5:30pm. This event is meant to be a fun\, low-stress (post-Spring Break) opportunity for language instructors to get together\, share\, and learn from each other. \nThis event will feature participants briefly sharing a favorite activity that fosters intercultural competence that might transfer to other language-teaching contexts. \nAll participants will create a single PPT slide that includes your name\, a brief description of the activity\, the level of course the activity is appropriate for\, and what you see as its benefits. The slide need not be fancy! Participants will share their ideas and each PPT slide will be collected and redistributed together with the others as a single PDF to all event participants as a “resource gallery” for future use. \nAll language instructors including faculty\, postdocs\, and grad students who are teaching independently\, are welcome to participate. If you can’t make it for the whole hour\, you are welcome to still participate when you can. Advance registration is required. All attendees must plan to bring an activity to share. \nFor questions about the event\, please email Elina Salminen at elinasalminen@wustl.edu. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this event has now closed. If you’d like to participate\, email Elina Salminen directly.

SUMMARY:Public-facing Writing\, with Students: An Alternative Collaborative Writing Assignment
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever had something interesting or unexpected happen in your course that you felt could be captured and reflected upon further? Or have you ever had a class just gel so well that you could imagine doing a group project together in lieu of a previously planned formal assignment? In this workshop\, Christopher Schaberg\, Director of Public Scholarship\, will share his experiences writing collaboratively with students and then getting this work published in general audience venues. While this alternative kind of writing with students can be scary and unpredictable\, it can ultimately give students a dynamic\, real-world experience with writing collaboratively – guided by their professor\, but working with professional editors and encountering public audiences\, along the way. We’ll discuss the positive results\, such as students seeing a real editing process take place\, and we’ll also reflect on how this can infuse joy into our work as instructors (and get us a byline!). You’ll also have the opportunity to share early ideas or ask questions about how this kind of alternative assignment might be able to fit into your courses. \nIf you have questions about this session\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Elevating Creativity in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In this fun\, interactive workshop\, Rob Morgan will provide a look at the creative practice fields and the valuable lessons they teach all of us! Drawing on a popular first year course called Designing Creativity that he’s co-taught to more than one thousand students over the past ten years\, as well as his multi-disciplinary design background\, Rob will lead us in exploring the value of creative approaches in all classrooms. We’ll cover how collaboration\, testing and re-testing ideas\, prototyping concepts\, overcoming fears\, venturing guesses\, thinking divergently\, and the creative process in general are applicable to nearly ALL disciplines.

SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Faculty Reading Community (FRC)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \nThe Faculty Reading Community discussions in Spring 2025 will involve chapters from Catherine J. Denial’s recently published book A Pedagogy of Kindness. Recognizing that academia is often not a kind place\, Denial challenges us to think about what that means and argues for placing kindness (distinct from niceness) at the core of our teaching. What does it mean to be kind not only to our students but also ourselves? How can we at WashU incorporate kindness into our teaching while maintaining our high standards for student success? \nWe are pleased to announce that Professor Denial will join our group remotely for a wrap-up discussion of her work on April 3rd. \nParticipants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode: This semester’s faculty reading community will meet in person on the Danforth campus.  \nMeetings will be from noon-12:50pm on the following Thursdays:\n\n\nJan 30: Introduction and Chapter 1: Kindness Towards Self\n\n\nFeb 13: Chapter 2: Kindness and the Syllabus\n\n\nFeb 27: Chapter 3: Kindness and Assessment\n\n\nMarch 27: Chapter 4: Kindness in the Classroom\, and the Conclusion\n\n\nApril 3: Wrap-up up discussion with special guest Catherine J. Denial\n\n\nThe reading community will be co-facilitated by Rick Moore\, along with faculty member Younasse Tarbouni. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Dr. Rick Moore at rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration
