SUMMARY:Constructing a Sample Syllabus for the Academic 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. \nWorkshops in this series are only open to postdocs and graduate students in their third year and beyond. If you need the workshop sooner than that\, for example\, because you are in a terminal 3-year program\, please email Dr. Gregory to register. \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, meggregory@wustl.edu. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this workshop has reached capacity. If you would still like to participate\, please contact Dr. Gregory.

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:Jump-Start to Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement Summer 2023
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. \nJump-Start Summer 2023 will take place via Zoom to accommodate those who are traveling during the summer. \nParticipants must plan to attend all four virtual meetings on Tuesday afternoons (3-4:30pm) May 23rd – June 13. Participants must also have previously attended the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement workshop.

SUMMARY:Language Teaching Spring Showcase Show & Tell 2023
DESCRIPTION:The CTL and Coalition for Language Teaching & Learning invite language instructors from across departments to participate in our Spring Showcase Show & Tell Event on Friday\, April 14th from 3:30-4:30pm\, with happy hour to follow from 4:30-5:30pm. This event is meant to be a fun\, low-stress (post-Spring Break) opportunity for language instructors to get together\, share\, and learn from each other. \nThis event will feature participants briefly sharing a favorite engaging in-class grammar activity that might transfer to other language-teaching contexts. \nAll participants will create a single PPT slide that includes your name\, a brief description of the grammar activity\, the level of course the activity is appropriate for\, and what you see as its benefits. The slide need not be fancy!

SUMMARY:Creating a Teaching Portfolio
DESCRIPTION:For teaching-focused positions\, it’s common on the academic job market to be asked for “evidence of teaching effectiveness” or a “teaching portfolio.” In this workshop for graduate students and postdocs\, participants will identify the key components of a teaching portfolio and discover appropriate structures and organizational strategies for their teaching related documents. Participants will also examine approaches for effectively framing their teaching experiences and teaching-related qualifications so that the portfolio provides a clear narrative that communicates evidence of their commitment to teaching. \nFor questions about this job market workshop*\, please contact Dr. Lisa Kuehne\, Assistant Director for Graduate Student and Postdoc Programs. \n*All workshops in this series will take place via Zoom in Spring 2023. A 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. This series is only open to advanced graduate students (in their third year or beyond) and postdocs. Should you need to participate in this program sooner\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory at meggregory@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Using the Jigsaw Method to Increase Student Engagement
DESCRIPTION:In a jigsaw\, students work in small\, interdependent groups with individuals given the responsibility for becoming “expert” in one aspect of a topic that they then teach to their peers in order to accomplish a group learning goal. Participants in this virtual conversation will learn how to design and manage a jigsaw in their own classes. \nFor questions about this virtual conversation\, contact Dr. Eric Fournier\, Director of Educational Development. \n— \nThis event has been cancelled. There is\, however\, another session of this same Virtual Conversation on Tuesday\, April 4th at 11a.

SUMMARY:Moving Beyond the Gender Binary in STEM Courses
DESCRIPTION:Societal gender norms affect how people have traditionally been grouped and named in many aspects of our lives. These norms have been applied implicitly or explicitly to the design of problem banks\, examples used in textbooks and other educational materials. In this workshop\, we explore strategies for updating assignments and other course content to be more gender inclusive. We also show that this intentional approach can be used in other situations to the benefit of your students’ well-being\, learning and persistence in STEM. As part of our discussion\, we will share examples of gender inclusive practices\, including tips for responding to student questions and comments about gendered course materials. \nRegistration

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.
