The approach moves from desired outcomes to assignments and activities\, which makes it a powerful framework for centering the key learning you want to see in your class (as opposed to the material that needs to be “covered”). It can be applied to everything from an individual lesson to an entire course. In this workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of the model and then apply it to your own teaching. You’ll write clear learning outcomes\, then start drafting an assignment based on those goals\, and finally brainstorm some activities that allow your students to practice the skills you want them to master. Participants in this workshop will have the option to join a second workshop\, during which they’ll have extended time to develop teaching materials using the framework.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration\nAdvance registration for this event has closed.

In this workshop\, participants will examine how to translate three principles from cognitive science to their teaching: 1) retrieval practice—deliberately recalling information from memory\, 2) spacing—returning to a concept over time\, and 3) interleaving—switching between learning about similar ideas. We will consider ways to apply these principles to designing the structure of a course\, implementing in-class activities\, and creating homework assignments. \nIf you have question about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne. \nNote: This workshop is being offered as part of the “Developing Essential Teaching Skills” Workshop Series for Postdocs\nIf you have questions about the series\, Contact Lisa Kuehne or Peter Myers. \nRegistration\nSign up for this and/or other workshops offered as part of this series.

In this workshop\, we’ll draw on writing pedagogy scholarship to confront the challenges associated with providing effective feedback to a variety of student learners as well as to identify strategies for developing a readerly approach to responding to our students’ writing. Further\, we’ll discuss the kinds of feedback that might be most helpful to students at different stages (planning\, drafting\, revising) of the writing process. Finally\, we’ll discuss a few strategies for encouraging your students to interact productively with your written feedback. \nIf you have questions about this advanced pedagogies workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration URL:https://ctl.wustl.edu/event/responding-to-student-writing/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:- Advanced Workshop (PDT),- Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences (PDT),- STEM (PDT) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250227T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250227T103000 DTSTAMP:20260516T151300 CREATED:20241222T175753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T170924Z UID:18892-1740646800-1740652200@ctl.wustl.edu SUMMARY:Motivating Student Learners DESCRIPTION:Students who are motivated learn more and learn better than those whose interests\, attention\, and self-esteem lag during the semester. In this workshop\, we’ll examine the various factors which shape student motivation in the classroom. We’ll then consider potential strategies for motivating students to stay engaged throughout the term and to persist throughout difficulties encountered in the course. \nGot questions about this workshop?

What should I do if I’m worried about a student? This workshop\, co-facilitated with staff from Health Promotion Services at the Student Health Center\, will demonstrate how to put the principles of student wellness into action\, how to recognize students in distress\, respond via different modes of communication\, and refer students to appropriate resources. \nIf you have questions about this workshop\, contact Rick Moore. \n  \nRegistration URL:https://ctl.wustl.edu/event/promoting-student-wellness-and-supporting-students-in-distress/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:- Advanced Workshop (PDT),- Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences (PDT),- STEM (PDT) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241205T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241205T133000 DTSTAMP:20260516T151300 CREATED:20240730T155749Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T170924Z UID:18325-1733400000-1733405400@ctl.wustl.edu SUMMARY:Introduction to Pedagogical Scholarship DESCRIPTION:So\, you’ve heard the terms scholarly teaching\, SoTL\, TAR\, and DBER but what do they mean? How are they related? In this workshop for graduate students and postdocs\, we will define various modes of pedagogical research and discuss similarities and differences between them. Participants will also learn about qualitative and quantitative approaches to pedagogical research as well as about strategies to become more involved in pedagogical scholarship in their classroom. \nNote: This workshop will meet over Zoom (not in person).\nRegistration URL:https://ctl.wustl.edu/event/introduction-to-pedagogical-scholarship/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:- Advanced Workshop (PDT),- Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences (PDT),- STEM (PDT) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241107T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241107T103000 DTSTAMP:20260516T151301 CREATED:20240806T162343Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T170924Z UID:18355-1730970000-1730975400@ctl.wustl.edu SUMMARY:Backward Design DESCRIPTION:Backward design is a key tool for designing effective learning experiences\, and it’s commonly used across many educational contexts to ensure your day-to-day teaching aligns with your goals. The approach moves from desired outcomes to assignments and activities\, which makes it a powerful framework for centering the key learning you want to see in your class (as opposed to the material that needs to be “covered”). It can be applied to everything from an individual lesson to an entire course. In this workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of the model and then apply it to your own teaching. You’ll write clear learning outcomes\, then draft an assignment based on those goals\, and finally brainstorm some activities that allow your students to practice the skills you want them to master.

This “workshop” is intended to be a discussion for graduate students and postdocs who teach courses where students frequently write – whether it’s final papers\, short reflections\, or discussion forum posts. We’ll discuss ideas and strategies for guiding students’ engagement with GenAI\, ranging from assignment design to steer students away from GenAI to assignments that require students to use AI. The workshop facilitator will provide examples of assignments\, but the meeting is intended to be highly collaborative\, with the goal of all participants developing and sharing ideas on this topic that is still new to many of us.
