SUMMARY:Preparing your Teaching Statement
DESCRIPTION:For Postdocs Only: Offered in collaboration with the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs as part of The Faculty Job Search Series. \nIf you are applying for an academic position\, it is likely that you will be asked to submit a teaching philosophy statement during the application process. Participants in this Job Market series workshop will learn about why academic search committees request teaching materials such as the teaching philosophy statement and how search committees use these materials to assess candidates’ qualifications for teaching. Further\, this workshop will help participants navigate the genre of the teaching statement\, offering them the opportunity to begin to think about how they will frame their commitment to teaching\, and describe their teaching methods and goals to others in their academic fields. \nREGISTER for the workshop (and others in the series) \nWorkshops will take place on the Medical Campus from 9-10:30am. \n\nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Peter Myers or Lisa Kuehne.

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:Constructing a Sample Syllabus for the Job Market
DESCRIPTION:For teaching-focused positions\, it is common to be asked for a sample syllabus. In this workshop for graduate students and postdocs approaching the academic job market\, we will consider key aspects of sample syllabi to include\, as well as how to align sample syllabi with the needs of different kinds of positions. Utilizing the principles of backwards design\, we will also discuss where to start when trying to come up with a topics-based course. Note that this is not intended to cover the full course design process\, but is instead specifically for those who must develop a sample syllabus for their job market materials. \n\nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact the facilitator.

SUMMARY:Jump-Start to Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement Peer Writing Program Spring 2024
DESCRIPTION:If you are applying for an academic position\, it is increasingly likely that you will be asked to submit a teaching philosophy statement during the application process. Yet\, setting aside the time to write your statement and obtaining feedback from colleagues can be challenging with a busy schedule. The Jump-Start to Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement Peer Writing Program offers the opportunity for advanced graduate students and postdocs to navigate the initial stages of drafting and revising their statements within a structured format and in a supportive environment. \nDuring the program\, participants will examine sample statements\, reflect on their teaching\, and write and revise three drafts of their teaching philosophy statements. Peer writing groups will offer feedback at each stage of the drafting process\, and Center for Teaching and Learning staff will be on hand to answer questions as well. Note that participants need not have a draft of their statement going into the program. \nParticipants must plan to attend all four virtual meetings on Wednesday afternoons May 22nd – June 12th and must also have previously attended the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement workshop. Those who have not taken the workshop previously\, but who wish to participate in Jump-Start should plan to register for and attend the Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement workshop prior to the beginning of the program. \nRegistration for this program is closed

SUMMARY:Supporting the Development of Students' Critical Reading Skills
DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate students often face an uphill battle as they learn to recognize\, read\, and join disciplinary conversations. Central to this difficulty is the fact that the challenges and expectations associated with reading in one discipline may be very different than those they face in another. In this workshop\, participants will explore disciplinary reading practices\, consider particular challenges that students face in reading for their courses\, and discover strategies for helping students build strong critical reading skills. \n\n\n\nFor questions about this event\, please contact Dr. Elina Salminen\, Assistant Director for Educational Development. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Designing Writing Assignments
DESCRIPTION:Designing effective writing assignments that foster intellectual development and critical thinking among students can be a challenge for instructors. This is an even tougher challenge when students may be unaware of or unschooled in disciplinary expectations for writing. Participants in this workshop will discuss strategies for writing transparent\, well-crafted assignment prompts and grading criteria which promote the kinds of thinking and learning critical for students to be successful in your courses and which will act as accurate\, authentic measures of student learning. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact Dr. Elina Salminen\, Assistant Director for Educational Development. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Applying Learning Science to Teaching: Metacognition
DESCRIPTION:Metacognition\, or the process of being aware of your own thought processes\, is a useful strategy to leverage in the classroom. Numerous learning science studies have indicated that incorporation of metacognitive strategies in the classroom increases student gains. Participants in this workshop will learn about the effects of metacognition on student learning\, examples of classroom focused metacognitive practice\, and how to design activities that invite students to engage in metacognitive practice in the classroom. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact Dr. Sally Wu\, Assistant Director of Educational Technology. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Asking Questions to Improve Learning
DESCRIPTION:Asking questions during class can promote student engagement\, foster reflection\, and serve as real-time feedback to both students and instructors about where students are at in their learning. However\, not all questions are created equally\, and not all questioning strategies are effective. This workshop will explore varied question types that instructors might pose\, as well as strategies for sequencing questions so that they best support and encourage student learning. This workshop will also provide strategies for responding effectively to student answers. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact Dr. Lisa Kuehne\, Assistant Director for Graduate Student and Postdoc Programs. \nRegistration

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. \nIf you have questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Elina Salminen.

SUMMARY:Preparing and Delivering a Teaching Demo
DESCRIPTION:Note: This workshop will take place in-person. \nA campus visit invitation from a search committee is welcome news\, but it often comes with a challenging request for a “teaching talk” or “teaching demo.” In this workshop\, participants will discuss what makes an effective teaching demonstration that is aligned with other teaching-related job market materials. Participants will learn questions to ask the institution before the visit\, how to design a talk that is appropriate for each audience and purpose\, and how to include student interaction and other methods of demonstrating your effectiveness as an instructor. \nIf you have questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Eric Fournier\, Director of Educational Development. \n  \nRegistration
