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.

SUMMARY:Backward Design
DESCRIPTION:Backward design is a key tool for designing effective learning experiences\, and it’s commonly used across many educational contexts to ensure your day-to-day teaching aligns with your goals. The approach moves from desired outcomes to assignments and activities\, which makes it a powerful framework for centering the key learning you want to see in your class (as opposed to the material that needs to be “covered”). It can be applied to everything from an individual lesson to an entire course. In this workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of the model and then apply it to your own teaching. You’ll write clear learning outcomes\, then draft an assignment based on those goals\, and finally brainstorm some activities that allow your students to practice the skills you want them to master.

SUMMARY:Science of Happiness: Joyful Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Many of us were inspired to teach at the university level because we enjoyed our own college coursework and wanted to emulate professors who brought joy to their work each day. Even the best teachers\, however\, can struggle to find happiness in their daily work\, especially as the semester wears on. During this Teaching with Joy gathering\, Tim Bono from Psychological & Brain Sciences offers perspectives from his course “The Science of Happiness\,” with discussion centered on ways we can reignite a spark of joy in our personal and professional lives. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Background Knowledge Probes as Classroom Assessment Technique
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive conversation on the use of Background Knowledge Probes (BKPs) as an effective classroom assessment technique. BKPs can be useful tools for quickly identifying students’ familiarity with a specific concept—​helping teachers to make informed decisions about where they should focus their instruction. In this session\, we’ll look at samples of classroom-tested BKPs and discuss best practices for integrating these probes into our courses. \nTo celebrate the release of an updated version of Classroom Assessment Techniques by Thomas Angelo and Pat Cross\, the CTL will be offering a series of short\, 30-minute Virtual Conversations—each focused on one or two of these classroom assessment techniques (CATs). The sessions will introduce the CATs\, share recommendations for use\, provide step-by-step examples\, and offer ideas for modifying and expanding them. \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event has closed.

SUMMARY:Polished: College\, Class\, and the Burdens of Social Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Melissa Osborne\nWashU is pleased to welcome Dr. Melissa Osborne\, Associate Professor of Sociology at Western Washington University\, to our campus to speak about first-generation and low-income students. A reception will follow Dr. Osborne’s presentation. \nPolished: College\, Class\, and the Burdens of Social Mobility\nFor low-income and first-generation students at elite schools\, college can feel like entering a whole new world. Along with academic and financial challenges\, their emotional lives also shift as they navigate different cultural and class backgrounds. These students often face a difficult choice: blend in with their peers and abandon their former lives\, or stay true to themselves\, risking isolation from other students. In this talk\, Melissa Osborne\, PhD will share insights from their book Polished\, based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with 150 first-generation and low-income students at 18 selective colleges and universities. Osborne reveals how the support systems meant to help these students can unintentionally reshape their identities\, often creating tension between their aspirations and their connections to family and community. Without direct institutional support\, this emotional struggle can lead to feelings of alienation\, mental health challenges\, and difficult decisions about balancing upward mobility with authenticity. \nThis event is sponsored by Here & Next. \nFor further details and registration\, please see the event listing in Happenings at WashU or contact Máire Murphy\, Project Coordinator\, Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Fall AI Institute for GSPD Community
DESCRIPTION:Are you a graduate student or postdoc who wants to learn more about generative artificial intelligence (AI) and teaching but don’t know where to begin? Curious about how you might use AI in the classroom? Concerned about the implications of AI for student learning and academic integrity? Then our Fall AI Institute is for you! \nOur GSPD Fall AI Institute takes place from September 30  – October 10 and consists of three components: \n\nAI Quick Study Series: Participants complete four self-paced Quick Study modules from the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) . Through these high-quality sessions\, participants will learn effective methods for prompting AI\, how to use AI to efficiently develop course resources\, how to foster responsible use of AI tools\, and how to develop AI-inclusive as well as AI-resistance learning experiences. In total\, the four modules are expected to take approximately 4 hours to complete. The Office of the Provost is making this course available to institute participants at no cost.\nTeaching with AI: Participants will also receive access to a digital copy of Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson. This book offers thoughtful chapters on Thinking with AI\, Teaching with AI\, and Learning with AI. As a supplement to the Quick Study Series\, the book presents another perspective on the issues surrounding generative AI and instruction.\nWashU Discussion Sessions: Participants take part in two synchronous moderated discussions on Zoom where they can share their thoughts\, ideas\, and concerns about generative AI with other graduate students and postdocs.\n\nSeptember 30th\, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm: The first session at the start of the institute provides participants an interdisciplinary space to discuss their questions and concerns regarding generative AI with colleagues from across the university.\nOctober 10th\, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: The second session at the end of the institute is an opportunity to talk about what was learned about AI over the course of the institute\, share ideas to use in upcoming courses\, and ask further questions about the role of generative AI in teaching and learning.\n\n\n\nParticipants in the institute will also have an opportunity to contribute to the CTL’s Open AI Assignment repository. \nThe Fall AI Institute is open to all WashU graduate students and postdocs\, although space is limited. Advanced registration is required. \nPlease contact Eric Fournier efournier@wustl.edu or Natalie Monzyk monzykn@wustl.edu with any questions. \nRegistration
