SUMMARY:Sparkshop: Accessibility: Links and Color Contrast to Stop the Guesswork
DESCRIPTION:Session Overview:\nWe’ve all run into “click here” links or text that was hard to read because of low color contrast. It might’ve felt unclear what you were going to click next or what the text said. You’ll be able to learn about undescriptive links and transform them into clear\, meaningful links. We will also cover tools to check color contrast and alternatives to using color alone to communicate information.   \nREGISTER FOR SPARKSHOP CONNECTION INFORMATION \nYou only need to register once for any one Sparkshop as the connection information is the same for all Sparkshops. \nAbout Sparkshops:\nSparkshops are 15 minute mini-workshops\, facilitated by CFE staff.  Sparkshops are meant to start exploration of a chosen topic with continued support from the CFE as requested. \nEach Sparkshop provides: \n\nAn introduction or re-imagined approach to an evidence-based teaching practice\, or productivity strategy\nPotential reasons faculty or staff might incorporate the practice in their course(s) or work flow\nExamples of how the practice can be implemented\nResources for further investigation of the practice\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT SPARKSHOPS \nChange One Thing Program:\nAttending Sparkshops adds to your eligibility to receive the “Change One Thing” Certificate.  \nTo earn the certificate\, participants will:✔ Attend at least three sparkshops\, workshops (e.g.\, Integrating AI Into Your Teaching sessions) or other learning opportunities offered by the Center for Faculty Excellence.✔ Implement a small but impactful change in one of their courses.✔ Submit a brief reflection on the change and its anticipated or observed impact. \nLEARN MORE ABOUT THE CHANGE ONE THING CERTIFICATE \nLocation\nVirtual – register for connection information. \nAudience\nAll Faculty

SUMMARY:Sparkshop: Carrying Your Students' Stress
DESCRIPTION:Session Overview:\nAs faculty\, you often become a trusted person students turn to when they’re navigating crises\, trauma\, or emotionally heavy situations.

We’ll discuss why these reactions are both common and normal\, how to recognize when you’re carrying students’ stress as your own\, and practical strategies for setting boundaries\, managing emotional residue\, and caring for yourself in healthy ways. Participants will leave with tools to maintain compassion for students while also protecting their own emotional resilience.  \nREGISTER FOR SPARKSHOP CONNECTION INFORMATION \nYou only need to register once for any one Sparkshop as the connection information is the same for all Sparkshops. \nAbout Sparkshops:\nSparkshops are 15 minute mini-workshops\, facilitated by CFE staff.  Sparkshops are meant to start exploration of a chosen topic with continued support from the CFE as requested. \nEach Sparkshop provides: \n\nAn introduction or re-imagined approach to an evidence-based teaching practice\, or productivity strategy\nPotential reasons faculty or staff might incorporate the practice in their course(s) or work flow\nExamples of how the practice can be implemented\nResources for further investigation of the practice\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT SPARKSHOPS \nChange One Thing Program:\nAttending Sparkshops adds to your eligibility to receive the “Change One Thing” Certificate.  \nTo earn the certificate\, participants will:✔ Attend at least three sparkshops\, workshops (e.g.\, Integrating AI Into Your Teaching sessions) or other learning opportunities offered by the Center for Faculty Excellence.✔ Implement a small but impactful change in one of their courses.✔ Submit a brief reflection on the change and its anticipated or observed impact. \nLEARN MORE ABOUT THE CHANGE ONE THING CERTIFICATE \nLocation\nVirtual – register for connection information. \nAudience\nAll Faculty
