SUMMARY:Lessons from Small Teaching: Connecting
DESCRIPTION:Educational research has suggested that a fundamental difference between novice learners’ understanding and experts’ understanding has to do with the complexity of connections among facts\, skills\, and concepts that they know. Experts have robust\, flexible knowledge networks\, while novice learners often do not. In Chapter 4 of James Lang’s Small Teaching\, he argues that faculty play a critical role in supporting student learning by “helping them forge rich\, interconnected networks of knowledge—ones that enable each existing piece of information in our content area to connect with lots of other information\, concepts\, and ideas” (96). In this virtual conversation\, we’ll discuss ways to “create an environment that facilitates the formation” of connections that we hope students will make in our courses (99). We will also discuss ways of helping students correct misconceptions and forge more correct\, more meaningful\, and lasting connections among ideas. \nFor questions about this virtual conversation\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, Associate Director for Faculty Programs and Services \nRegistration\nEarly registration for this event has closed. If you would still like to participate\, please email Meg Gregory at meggregory@wustl.edu for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Efficient\, Reflective and Effective Strategies for Grading
DESCRIPTION:Evaluating student work\, particularly for large classes or long assignments\, requires time and effort. Graduate students and postdocs can benefit from adopting efficient strategies that help to ensure fair application of points while making good use of their time. Grading can further be a reflective activity that provides feedback to the grader about student comprehension\, which can then be used to inform future interactions with students and faculty. Grading is also an effective tool for guiding students to deeper understanding through thoughtful\, targeted feedback on their effort. \nIn this workshop\, participants will work together to explore various grading strategies while also discussing other aspects of assessing student work\, such as communicating with faculty about grading criteria and policy\, achieving consistency during grading and responding to common student concerns about grades. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Inclusive Teaching in STEM: Creating a Sense of Belonging in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:“Do I belong here?” Oftentimes\, this is the first question students ask themselves when they are in new and unfamiliar academic environments. Students’ answers to this question are critical because welcoming learning experiences in the classroom can encourage students to persist in their STEM majors and bolster their science identities. In this workshop\, we will discuss evidence-based strategies that can foster student belonging in STEM college classrooms.   \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Denise Leonard.  \n\n

SUMMARY:Creating a Teaching Portfolio
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor 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 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. \nRegistration for workshops in this series are only open to postdocs and graduate students who are in their third years or beyond. If you should have need to take this workshop earlier\, please reach out to Dr. Meg Gregory\, Associate Director of Faculty Programs and Services. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this workshop has now closed. If you would still like to participate\, please email Dr. Meg Gregory at meggregory@wustl.edu for the Zoom link. \n

SUMMARY:Writing a Diversity and Inclusion Statement for the Job Market
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, candidates for academic positions are asked to address their commitment to diversity\, inclusion\, and equity (DEI) in the classroom in their job market materials. In this workshop\, we will explore how to communicate this commitment effectively. Participants will examine the purpose of a DEI statement\, identify generic expectations and conventions of the statement\, learn about how this statement can complement other job market documents\, and discuss strategies for demonstrating a clearly defined commitment to diversity\, inclusion\, and equity. \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. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this workshop has now closed. If you’d still like to participate\, please email Dr. Gregory at meggregory@wustl.edu.

SUMMARY:Incorporating Active Learning During Class Time
DESCRIPTION:Research overwhelmingly supports the idea that active learning\, “opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen\, write\, read\, and reflect on the content\, ideas\, issues\, and concerns of an academic subject” leads to greater learning gains than methods of teaching that situate students as passive receptors of knowledge (Meyer & Jones\, 1993). Yet sometimes factors like course content\, class size\, and student readiness lend themselves to more traditional methods like lecture. In this workshop\, participants will examine the research related to active learning in the humanities\, arts\, and social sciences\, and discuss how to incorporate active learning strategies effectively into their courses. \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this workshop has now closed.
