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: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

SUMMARY:Course Design Institute: January 6th - January 10th
DESCRIPTION:Redesigning a course over winter break? Tackling a new-to-you course or a brand new course in the spring? New to WashU and/or new to designing your own course? The CTL’s Course Design Institute (CDI) is for you! \nThis week-long intensive course design institute will guide you in planning and preparing to teach a course that is supported by the latest research in teaching and learning. During the CDI\, facilitators will model and discuss a range of tools and strategies that can enhance your instruction\, increase student engagement\, ensure alignment between course goals and assessments\, and establish an inclusive learning environment for your students. \nParticipants who fully engage in the program will leave with a significant portion of their course planning finished\, including clearly delineated learning goals\, an assessment/assignment plan\, strategies for student engagement and Canvas use\, a draft of the syllabus and course policies\, and a detailed plan for the first day of class. \nThe CDI will be conducted through a combination of daily self-paced learning modules in Canvas and three\, hour-long synchronous Zoom meetings. Overall time commitment for participating includes 3 hours of live engagement\, plus an average of 1-2 hours each day for asynchronous work in Canvas (reading\, watching videos\, working on drafting aspects of your course). \nLive sessions will take place from 10:00 am to 11:00 am Central Time via Zoom on January 6th (Monday)\, 8th (Wednesday) and 10th (Friday). To participate\, faculty must commit to attending the three live sessions. \nProgram Learning Objectives:\nParticipants will: \n\nLearn about and employ backwards design to develop a course plan;\nDesign\, develop\, and build materials for their course including learning goals\, assessment plan\, syllabus\, and more;\nDiscover strategies for helping students thrive\, including ways to promote meaningful interaction and support equitable learning; and\nExperience Canvas from the perspective of a student in a course.\n\nPlease contact the CTL with questions about the program. \nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty teaching this Fall at WashU. If you are a graduate student who will be an instructor of record in an upcoming semester and would like to participate\, please contact the CTL for next steps. A limited number of spots will be available for graduate students who are getting ready to teach independently. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Exploring the Art of Improv in Our Teaching Practices
DESCRIPTION:How can the art of improv support your teaching activities and bring more joy into the classroom? Traditional approaches to teaching in the college classroom can often be stilted and scripted. Yet\, in order to respond to our students’ needs and draw them into the learning process deeply we need to be present\, flexible\, and responsive as instructors. Improv is a great theatrical tool to improve public speaking and listening skills as well as helping one think quickly on their feet. Improv skills also helps our students to build strong collaboration skills and encourages them to take risks in the classroom. In this workshop\, we’ll explore how to incorporate improv principles into both our teaching and our students’ learning. Be prepared to try out simple\, fun activities – zero acting skills or experience required! \nFor questions about this event\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration\nThis event is now at capacity.

SUMMARY:Navigating Charged Topics in the Classroom: A Panel of WashU Instructors
DESCRIPTION:Higher education has been said to have three core missions: research\, teaching\, and a social-political mission. But is this social-political mission really just a “third mission” on the periphery of the other two? Or should those of us who teach at universities see it as central to providing rigorous\, relevant\, engaging\, and thought-provoking education? \nThe 2024/25 academic year presents ample opportunities to address this question in practical terms\, not merely philosophical ones. As St. Louis and the nation commemorate ten years since Michael Brown’s death amid a heated election season and with global conflicts spilling onto our campuses\, faculty are compelled to rethink the social-political mission of higher education and consider ways of integrating this mission into course policies and classroom practices\, while facilitating conversations that arise from the charged current context. \nThis panel offers a unique space for a courageous conversation among faculty members who teach socially and politically charged topics. Together\, we will explore different approaches to facilitating conversations about politics and share successful policies and practices for doing so. \nPanelists:\nDewitt Campbell\, Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement\nAyala Hendin\, Jewish\, Islamic\, and Middle Eastern Studies\nCaitlin McMurtry\, Brown School\nFroggi VanRiper\, Environmental Studies \nFor questions about this panel discussion\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Science of Happiness: Joyful Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Many of us were inspired to teach at the university level because we enjoyed our own college coursework and wanted to emulate professors who brought joy to their work each day. Even the best teachers\, however\, can struggle to find happiness in their daily work\, especially as the semester wears on. During this Teaching with Joy gathering\, Tim Bono from Psychological & Brain Sciences offers perspectives from his course “The Science of Happiness\,” with discussion centered on ways we can reignite a spark of joy in our personal and professional lives. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration
