SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Faculty Reading Community (FRC)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \nThe Faculty Reading Community discussions in Spring 2025 will involve chapters from Catherine J. Denial’s recently published book A Pedagogy of Kindness. Recognizing that academia is often not a kind place\, Denial challenges us to think about what that means and argues for placing kindness (distinct from niceness) at the core of our teaching. What does it mean to be kind not only to our students but also ourselves? How can we at WashU incorporate kindness into our teaching while maintaining our high standards for student success? \nWe are pleased to announce that Professor Denial will join our group remotely for a wrap-up discussion of her work on April 3rd. \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: This semester’s faculty reading community will meet in person on the Danforth campus.  \nMeetings will be from noon-12:50pm on the following Thursdays:\n\n\nJan 30: Introduction and Chapter 1: Kindness Towards Self\n\n\nFeb 13: Chapter 2: Kindness and the Syllabus\n\n\nFeb 27: Chapter 3: Kindness and Assessment\n\n\nMarch 27: Chapter 4: Kindness in the Classroom\, and the Conclusion\n\n\nApril 3: Wrap-up up discussion with special guest Catherine J. Denial\n\n\nThe reading community will be co-facilitated by Rick Moore\, along with faculty member Younasse Tarbouni. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Dr. Rick Moore at rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Course Design Institute: January 6th - January 10th
DESCRIPTION:Redesigning a course over winter break? Tackling a new-to-you course or a brand new course in the spring? 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 you 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 hours of live engagement\, plus an average of 1-2 hours each day for asynchronous work in Canvas (reading\, watching videos\, working on drafting aspects of your course). \nLive sessions will take place from 10:00 am to 11:00 am Central Time via Zoom on January 6th (Monday)\, 8th (Wednesday) and 10th (Friday). 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 the CTL with questions about the program. \nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty teaching this 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 the CTL for next steps. A limited number of spots will be available for graduate students who are getting ready to teach independently. \nRegistration
