SUMMARY:Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement
DESCRIPTION:If 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. \nIf you have questions about this event\, please contact Dr. Denise Leonard\, Associate Director of Graduate Student and Postdoc Programs. \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\nThis workshop has been cancelled due to illness and will be rescheduled.

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
