SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Faculty Reading Community
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \n \nThe featured book for the Spring 2026 Faculty Reading Community will be Productive Failure: Unlocking Deeper Learning Through the Science of Failing by Manu Kapur. From the publisher’s website: Written by a leading global expert on human cognition\, productive failure\, and learning methods\, Productive Failure shows you how to design the experience of failing. Research shows that repeated experiences of intriguing\, constructive failure can help students (and our own children\, and anyone else we lead) develop creativity and learn more deeply. When carefully curated\, failure can become a signal for learning\, not the noise detracting from it. The result? Learners gain a lifelong readiness to push themselves outside of their comfort zones\, using setbacks as launchpads for learning and innovation. \nParticipants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode and Time: \nThe FRC will meet in person at 1PM on the following Fridays: \n\nJan. 30th\, 2026\nFeb. 13th\, 2026\nFeb. 27th\, 2026\nMarch 27th\, 2026\nApril 10th\, 2026\nApril 24th\, 2026\n\nOur meeting room will be on the Danforth campus and will be announced soon. \nThe Spring 2026 reading community will be facilitated by Natalie Monzyk\, Assistant Director of Educational Technology. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Natalie (monzykn@wustl.edu). \n

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 Advanced Pedagogies Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdocs\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Less Intimidation\, More Fun: Wielding AI to Create Innovative Learning Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Creative learning activities\, such as escape rooms\, role-playing\, or customized case-studies\, can be meaningful and fun\, but they can also seem daunting because of the work involved. In this hands-on workshop\, we’ll explore how AI tools can spark creativity\, lighten your design load\, and help craft active learning ✨magic✨ – with you firmly in the driver’s seat. We’ll introduce some AI tools and helpful prompts\, guide you in identifying places where AI can add (rather than detract from) joy to your teaching\, and finally provide time to work with peers to craft your own activity. Come curious\, leave with ready-to-implement pedagogical fun! \nIf you have questions about this Teaching with Joy workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Breaking the Fluency Illusion: Teaching and Learning to Do Language Better Using an IPA (Integrated Performance Assessment) Framework
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic 90-minute workshop that introduces Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) and demonstrates how they can transform and improve language teaching and learning outcomes. We’ll begin with a quick exploration of a IPA-based\, semester-long podcast project as an example of how meaningful\, authentic tasks can drive student engagement. Then\, participants will be guided step-by-step through brainstorming and sketching their own IPA-structured project. Walk away with practical tools\, fresh ideas\, and a clear plan you can implement right away! Please note: This session is focused on language instruction\, so we ask that only instructors who teach (or will teach) languages sign up. \nMark Dowell started teaching Spanish in WUSTL-RLL in 2015 and has been teaching both Spanish and Portuguese classes here since 2018. \nIf you have questions about this workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Faculty Reading Community
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \n \nThe featured book for the Spring 2026 Faculty Reading Community will be Productive Failure: Unlocking Deeper Learning Through the Science of Failing by Manu Kapur. From the publisher’s website: Written by a leading global expert on human cognition\, productive failure\, and learning methods\, Productive Failure shows you how to design the experience of failing. Research shows that repeated experiences of intriguing\, constructive failure can help students (and our own children\, and anyone else we lead) develop creativity and learn more deeply. When carefully curated\, failure can become a signal for learning\, not the noise detracting from it. The result? Learners gain a lifelong readiness to push themselves outside of their comfort zones\, using setbacks as launchpads for learning and innovation. \nParticipants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode and Time: \nThe FRC will meet in person at 1PM on the following Fridays: \n\nJan. 30th\, 2026\nFeb. 13th\, 2026\nFeb. 27th\, 2026\nMarch 27th\, 2026\nApril 10th\, 2026\nApril 24th\, 2026\n\nOur meeting room will be on the Danforth campus and will be announced soon. \nThe Spring 2026 reading community will be facilitated by Natalie Monzyk\, Assistant Director of Educational Technology. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Natalie (monzykn@wustl.edu). \n

SUMMARY:Using the PAIRR Framework to Teach AI-Literate Writing
DESCRIPTION:This virtual conversation will explore the Peer and AI Review + Reflection (PAIRR) framework. This five-step process strategically integrates peer review with guided\, criteria-based AI feedback\, ultimately empowering students to become critically engaged users of AI. The PAIRR model emphasizes reflection\, helping students assess both human and machine suggestions to build stronger writing skills\, enhance metacognition\, and develop essential AI literacy. Attend this brief workshop to learn how to seamlessly adapt and implement this innovative approach in your own assignments. \nIf you have questions about this Virtual Conversation\, contact Anna Cunningham. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Teaching Students How to Read and Critically Evaluate Scientific Literature
DESCRIPTION:Learning how to critically read and interpret scientific literature is an important skill for students to gain in their education and necessary for their continued success in STEM fields. However\, as instructors\, we must recognize that this is a new kind of writing that students may be unfamiliar reading or evaluating. In this workshop\, we will discuss strategies to scaffold student learning including technology to help students learn to annotate as they read\, in-class activities to help students build critical reading skills\, and individual and group assignments to help students learn to read and understand scientific literature. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Denise Leonard. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Learning in the Age of AI: The WashU Student Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Student panelists will discuss how they are using AI tools in their coursework and daily lives\, their perceptions of AI’s capabilities and limitations in facilitating their learning\, and the questions and concerns they have about the use of this technology in higher education. The conversation will also highlight what students feel they need from faculty to use AI responsibly and productively as well as what they wish educators understood about navigating college in the age of artificial intelligence. This event will be virtual with the opportunity for participant questions via moderated Q&A. \nIf you have questions about this panel discussion\, please contact Anna Cunningham. \n  \nRegistration
