SUMMARY:Helping Students Make the Most of Instructor Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Instructors dedicate many hours each semester to commenting on and evaluating student work\, but is this feedback helping students to improve in the ways that we want it to? Are the students actually reading our feedback and are they interpreting it in the ways that we hope they are? In this workshop\, participants will learn about how students traditionally process instructor feedback. Then\, we’ll consider strategies for helping students make the most out of instructor feedback at various stages of the learning process. \nFor questions about this workshop\, contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, Associate Director of Faculty Programs. \n  \nRegistration\nRegistration has closed. If you would still like to participate\, please contact Meg at meggregory@wustl.edu

SUMMARY:Supporting Students in Distress
DESCRIPTION:As we pass the middle of the semester\, we enter a time when students increasingly struggle to maintain their mental health and well-being. In this workshop\, we will discuss signs that a student may be in distress and work through a variety of scenarios to consider strategies for how instructors can communicate with and assist these students. We will also review when and how to make referrals to counseling resources on the Danforth campus. The workshop will be co-led by the Center for Teaching & Learning and the Habif Health & Wellness Center. \nFaculty from any part of WashU are welcome to attend\, although the resources shared will be most beneficial to faculty teaching on the Danforth Campus (support options differ on the Medical Campus). \nFor questions about this workshop\, contact Dr. Rick Moore\, Assistant Director for Assessment and Evaluation. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Graduate Student and Postdoc Reading Community
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow graduate students\, postdocs\, and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \nThe Graduate Student and Postdoc Reading Community discussions in Spring 2023 will involve chapters from Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy’s recent book\, Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom. In this book\, Hogan and Sathy summarize and translate empirical research on inclusive and equitable teaching into concrete\, actionable strategies to support all student learners. They offer highly-portable strategies related to course design and structure\, the first days of the semester\, the wider learning environment\, and student-instructor interactions. \nParticipants are expected to attend at least 4 of the 6 meetings. Participants who are local and can pick up their book at WashU will receive a copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode: There will be a Zoom link provided for all sessions. In addition\, three of our six sessions will have an opportunity for in-person engagement as well. Those who can and who are comfortable doing so are encouraged to participate in-person during the three hybrid sessions. \nMeetings will be from 3:30-4:20pm the following Tuesdays. Tuesdays with an asterisk* indicate that there will be an in-person option for this meeting.\n \nDiscussion Schedule:\n*January 31 Chapter 1: Inclusive Teaching as a Mindset\nFeb 14 Chapter 2: The Value of Structure\n*Feb 28 Chapter 3: Designing Your Course and Syllabus with an Inclusive Mindset\nMarch 21 Chapter 4: Launching Your Course\nApril 4 Chapter 5: Classroom Environment and Interactions\n*April 18 Chapter 6: Inclusive Practices Outside the Classroom \nFor questions about the GSPD Community\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory at meggregory@wustl.edu. \nRegistration\n\n

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. 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\nRegistration has closed for this workshop.

SUMMARY:Incorporating Active Learning in Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Active learning has been defined as learning that engages students in the process of learning through activities and/or discussion in class\, as opposed to passively listening to an expert. It emphasizes higher-order thinking and often involves group work. Research overwhelmingly supports the shift from passive learning environments to more active ones\, however this transformation can be difficult to envision in large STEM lecture courses. Participants in this workshop will learn evidence-based strategies to make lectures a more active learning environment. \nFor questions about this workshop\, contact Dr. Lisa Kuehne\, Assistant Director for Graduate Student and Postdoc Programs. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Preparing and Delivering a Teaching Demo
DESCRIPTION:A 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. \nAll 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. This series is only open to advanced graduate students (PhD students in their third year or beyond or 2nd years in terminal MFA/MS programs) and postdocs. \nFor questions about this job market workshop\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory. \nRegistration\nRegistration for this workshop has now closed. If you would still like to participate\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory.

SUMMARY:Fostering Social Connection and Collaboration through Videos
DESCRIPTION:Videos are a great way to deliver content and share ideas from around the world from TED talks\, YouTube videos\, recorded lectures\, and more. However\, video watching can be an isolating and passive experience if students cannot engage with others. We will discuss how to promote student engagement in videos using Kaltura and Annoto\, two tools integrated in Canvas. These tools allow students to watch and share videos as well as discuss and connect with one another without leaving the video. \nFor questions about this tech training\, please contact Dr. Sally Wu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Creating Accessible and Interactive PDFs for Digital Reading
DESCRIPTION:Students read on screens all the time\, but due to constraints in digital reading tools\, they may not be engaging deeply with the new ideas\, worlds\, and people available at their fingertips. This virtual conversation introduces several ways to support digital reading\, particularly when reading with PDFs\, a common document file type provided to students through Canvas and other tools. We will discuss how to make PDFs accessible and interactive for all students\, coupled with instructional tools and strategies that help students engage more deeply with their reading materials in your classes.\n\n\n\nFor questions about this virtual conversation\, please contact Dr. Sally Wu. \nRegistration
