SUMMARY:Teaching What You Don’t Know
DESCRIPTION:Oftentimes\, in our AI teaching responsibilities or early teaching careers\, we may be called upon to teach content outside of our area of expertise. Maybe you are an ecologist assisting a microbiology course for the first time. Or a you are a literature scholar teaching writing for the first time. These teaching opportunities can be very exciting and cause a certain amount of uncertainty and anxiety. “What if students ask me a question I can’t answer?” “How do I maintain authority and confidence in the classroom space?” This Foundations in Teaching workshop will draw from the ideas of Therese Huston in her book Teaching What You Don’t Know and highlight teaching strategies to help you maximize every teaching opportunity.\n\n\n\nFor questions about this event\, please contact Eric Fournier. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Backward Design I: Introduction to Designing Learning Experiences
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 start drafting an assignment based on those goals\, and finally brainstorm some activities that allow your students to practice the skills you want them to master. Participants in this workshop will have the option to join a second workshop\, during which they’ll have extended time to develop teaching materials using the framework.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Developing Effective Summative Assessments
DESCRIPTION:Summative assessments are designed to evaluate how much students have learned in a unit or a course. These assessments are often high-stakes\, graded\, and formal. The vast majority of college classes have summative assessments\, but what does it take to make a particularly effective one? In this advanced-level workshop\, we will discuss the benefits of using various assessment techniques (exams\, papers\, and alternative assessments) and aligning your assessments with course goals. Overall\, we will examine how to design an assessment so that it is a truly authentic measure of student learning in the course.\n\n\n\n  \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. \nIf you have questions about this session\, contact Eric Fournier. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:AI Learning Community: Teaching with Custom AI Chatbots
DESCRIPTION:With generative AI making its way into all manner of domains\, educators have a role to play in teaching students how to use AI effectively and ethically\, as well as when to avoid using it altogether. One way we can exercise some agency in this work is to make use of custom AI chatbots. By designing interactive AI agents that fit our teaching goals\, might we be in a better position to help students learn with and about AI? \nThis learning community is for instructors interested in experimenting with custom AI chatbots in their teaching. We will look at tools for building chatbots\, from ChatGPT’s “GPTs” and Gemini’s “Gems” to education-focused platforms like BoodleBox and Cogniti. We will also explore use cases for custom chatbots in teaching and learning along with promising practices for using custom chatbots to support student learning. \nFormat\nSeven sessions on Zoom from 2:00 – 3:00 pm CST on the following Tuesdays:\n•September 2\, 16\, 30\n•October 14\, 28\n•November 11\n•December 2 \nA Teams environment will be available for notes\, questions\, comments\, collaboration\, and resource sharing. \nFor questions about this learning community\, contact Anna Cunningham. \nRegistration\nAdvance registration has ended. To attend\, contact the session facilitator.

SUMMARY:Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement
DESCRIPTION:If you are applying for an academic position\, it is likely that you will be asked to submit a teaching philosophy statement during the application process. Participants in this Job Market series workshop will learn about why academic search committees request teaching materials such as the teaching philosophy statement and how search committees use these materials to assess candidates’ qualifications for teaching. Further\, this workshop will help participants navigate the genre of the teaching statement\, offering them the opportunity to begin to think about how they will frame their commitment to teaching\, and describe their teaching methods and goals to others in their academic fields. \nFor questions about this workshop\, contact Denise Leonard. \nNote: This series is generally only open to advanced graduate students (in their third year or beyond) and postdocs. Should you need to participate in this program sooner\, please contact the facilitator. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Hypothesis: Activating Annotation
DESCRIPTION:Join us to see how collaborative annotation can help deepen student engagement with assigned readings. In this workshop\, we’ll explore Hypothes.is—a tool that creates an interactive layer over webpages\, PDFs\, and images. Fully integrated with Canvas\, Hypothes.is allows for sentence-level annotation\, collaborative discussion\, and critical analysis directly on assigned texts. You’ll see examples of how teachers are using annotation-powered reading to foster student engagment and critical thinking skills\, and you’ll leave with practical strategies for implementing Hypothes.is in your own course. This session will be co-facilitated by Jessica George\, Customer Success Manager for Hypothes.is. \nRegistration
