SUMMARY:Alternative Grading Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to try alternative grading in one of your courses\, but just needed the time to sit down and figure everything out? Are you looking to discuss alternative grading ideas with colleagues in a supportive environment? Then join us at the Alternative Grading Bootcamp! \n\nWHAT: The bootcamp is an idea that emerged from the participants in the Spring 2024 faculty reading community\, which read Grading for Growth\, a book on implementing various forms of alternative grading in college courses. The format of the bootcamp is simply two days where instructors meet in person in January Hall 110 on the Danforth Campus to actively work on the nuts and bolts of alternative grading for their classes. Instead of working alone at home or in the office\, the bootcamp offers a chance to work alongside others who are also trying to figure out alternative grading and who can be consulted with as needed. The two days are about a week apart so that members of this community also have time between sessions to reflect and work on their own before coming back for a second round of discussions with colleagues. The bootcamp is NOT a workshop; it’s a chance to dedicate time to actually figuring out syllabi\, assignments\, and whatever else you need to do to get alternative grading off the ground in your course. Bring your laptop and whatever course planning materials you need. Lunch will be provided.\nWHEN: Thursday\, July 25th and Friday August 2nd.  The bootcamp is planned for 10a – 3p each day\, but we may adjust the times slightly if there are strong opinions for other start/end times. We understand that you may have other commitments\, so participants can always come and go as needed during the day. And while we hope that you can join us for both days of the bootcamp\, if you can only participate one of the days\, that’s ok too.\nWHO: The bootcamp is aimed at instructors who have some prior knowledge and/or experience with alternative grading\, broadly defined. The main target audience is the participants from the recent faculty reading community on alternative grading\, but we welcome other members of the WashU community with alternative grading experience or a demonstrated interest in implementing alternative grading in a Fall 2024 course. Space in the bootcamp is limited to ensure a productive environment for working on courses.\n\nAdvanced registration is required. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Rick Moore: rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

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:Course Design Institute: May 20th - May 24th
DESCRIPTION:Redesigning a course this summer? Tackling a new-to-you course or a brand new course in the fall? 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 participants 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 3.5 hours of live engagement\, plus an average of 2-3 hours each day for asynchronous work in Canvas (reading\, watching videos\, working on drafting aspects of your course). \nLive sessions will take place via Zoom on Monday\, May 20th\, Wednesday\, May 22nd\, and Friday\, May 24th from 10-11am CT. 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 Dr. Rick Moore\, Assistant Director of Assessment and Evaluation with questions about the program. \nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty teaching this Summer or 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 Dr. Rick Moore for next steps. A limited number of spots will be available for graduate students who are getting ready to teach independently. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Developing Effective Assessments
DESCRIPTION:Assessing student learning is a critical component of effective teaching. Effective assessments provide both the student and the instructor with important feedback for determining if students are meeting the established learning goals. Assessments can be formative (lower stakes and ungraded) or summative (high stakes and graded). Participants in this workshop will discuss key principles of assessment design for both formative and summative assessments. Participants will also consider principles of effective design for specific kinds of assessments including multiple choice questions\, group work\, writing assignments\, and oral presentations. \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Rick Moore\, Assistant Director for Evaluation and Assessment. \nRegistration\n\n
