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.

SUMMARY:Generative AI in Writing-Based Classes
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is here to stay\, but it poses some profound questions about how to teach writing-based classes. 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.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Teaching: Fostering a Sense of Belonging for Students
DESCRIPTION:“Do I belong here?” \nPeople often ask themselves this question when they are in new or unfamiliar environments. As instructors\, we can take actions to promote a course atmosphere so that students can answer “Yes”. Positive learning experiences during a course can encourage students to persist in their majors and identify as scholars. In this workshop\, we will discuss evidence-based strategies that can foster student belonging in college courses.

SUMMARY:Responding to Student Writing
DESCRIPTION:As AIs and instructors\, we dedicate many hours each semester to commenting on and evaluating student writing\, but is this feedback helping students to improve their writing and critical thinking skills the way that we want it to? In this workshop\, we will draw on writing pedagogy scholarship in an effort 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 will discuss the kinds of feedback that might be most helpful to students at different stages (planning\, drafting\, revising) of the writing process. Finally\, we will discuss a few strategies for encouraging your students to interact productively with your written feedback. \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, meggregory@wustl.edu. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this workshop is now closed.

SUMMARY:Developing Effective Summative Assessments
DESCRIPTION:Summative assessments are modes of classroom assessment that are designed to evaluate how much students have learned in a unit or a course. These assessments are often high stakes\, graded\, and formal. The vast majority of college courses have summative assessments (e.g.\, exams\, papers\, projects\, presentations)\, but what does it take to make a particularly effective one? In this workshop\, we will discuss the benefits of using various modes of assessment and aligning your assessments with course goals. Overall\, we will consider best practices in assessment design that will ensure that your summative assessment is a truly authentic\, equitable measure of student learning in the course. \nFor questions about this Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences workshop*\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, Associate Director for Faculty Programs. \n*Some workshops will take place via Zoom in Spring 2023. For Zoom workshops\, the link to the Zoom session will be sent out with the reminder email the day before the workshop. Attendees must plan to participate in the entire workshop in order to get credit for attendance towards the Professional Development in Teaching Program. If you have questions about the workshops in this series\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory. \n  \nRegistration\nWorkshop registration is now closed.

SUMMARY:Fostering an Inclusive Classroom Climate
DESCRIPTION:While the classroom can be a space for open\, respectful dialogue\, it can also feel isolating or even hostile for student learners. What can an instructor do to promote a space for positive\, fruitful collaboration? What does it take to create a truly inclusive classroom climate? In this workshop\, participants will discuss a series of interconnected factors that shape classroom climate. Participants will also have the opportunity to consider ways to repair a fractured classroom climate. Finally\, we will examine strategies for developing a classroom culture in which students feel heard\, welcomed\, and valued. \nFor questions about this Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences workshop*\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, Associate Director for Faculty Programs. Workshop will take place in Rm. 103 in Lopata Hall. \n*Attendees must plan to participate in the entire workshop in order to get credit for attendance towards the Professional Development in Teaching Program. If you have questions about the workshops in this series\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Facilitating Engaging Discussions
DESCRIPTION:While as instructors we hope to engage student learners\, facilitating a true discussion in the classroom is one of the most challenging aspects of teaching with active learning. In this workshop\, participants will consider the benefits of discussion as a pedagogical methodology\, examine strategies for structuring a successful\, inclusive discussion\, and consider ways to move beyond instructor-student-instructor patterns of response. Participants will also review a variety of question types and discussion structures that are likely to spur different kinds of productive student engagement. Finally\, we will address some common challenges that can sink classroom discussions. \nFor questions about this Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences workshop*\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, Associate Director for Faculty Programs. \n*Some workshops will take place via Zoom in Spring 2023. For Zoom workshops\, the link to the Zoom session will be sent out with the reminder email the day before the workshop.

SUMMARY:Incorporating Active Learning During Class Time
DESCRIPTION:Research overwhelmingly supports the idea that active learning\, “opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen\, write\, read\, and reflect on the content\, ideas\, issues\, and concerns of an academic subject” leads to greater learning gains than methods of teaching that situate students as passive receptors of knowledge (Meyer & Jones\, 1993). Yet sometimes factors like course content\, class size\, and student readiness lend themselves to more traditional methods like lecture. In this workshop\, participants will examine the research related to active learning in the humanities\, arts\, and social sciences\, and discuss how to incorporate active learning strategies effectively into their courses. \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this workshop has now closed.

SUMMARY:Navigating Difficult Conversations in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:While the classroom can be a space for open\, respectful discussion of sensitive or controversial topics\, facilitating such discussions can be a challenging prospect. This advanced-level workshop for graduate students and postdocs in the humanities\, arts\, and social sciences will provide the opportunity for participants to develop strategies for fostering critical thinking\, open-mindedness\, and civil discourse in the classroom. Participants will engage with strategies for laying the groundwork necessary for having difficult conversations\, learn approaches for responding to unexpectedly tense moments\, and practice applying the strategies we discuss to common instructional situations. \nThis workshop will be in person on the Danforth Campus. If you need medical or other accommodations to participate virtually\, please let Dr. Gregory know. \nNote: This workshop was formerly entitled Facilitating Challenging Conversations. \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory. \nRegister Here\nPre-registration is now closed.
