Active Learning Workshop

Join your colleagues in learning how to apply Active Learning techniques in your classroom. Three sessions will be offered with a focus on general active learning for any classroom, STEM classroom and Large Classroom focus. Active Learning techniques will be demonstrated during each session and those attending will receive an Active Learning Toolkit that contains several of the items used in the demonstrations so you can begin using the techniques in your classroom.

Thank-an-Educator Due Date

Part 1: Introduction to TILT Workshop

Learn about TILT and its benefits, as well as begin to use the TILT framework on example assignments. The same workshop will be offered multiple times to accommodate schedules; attend any workshop.

Writing Retreat

A Writing Retreat provides a focused block of time and supportive environment for you to commit to and have some level of accountability for accomplishing a research goal. There will be no planned programming, instead it will be a time for you to focus on your research/writing goals and hopefully be very productive! Participation can be in-person or virtually via ZOOM (link sent at registration).

Part 2: TILT Your Assignment Workshop

Collaborate with your peers to TILT your own assignments. Attend one or more of these sessions to get feedback and ideas on how to present your assignments clearly to students using the TILT framework.

Beyond the Syllabus Workshop

In this workshop we examine the syllabus’ uses beyond just communicating course policies and procedures. We focus on how the syllabus can serve as a tool for advancing students’ sense of belonging, predict students’ success, and connect your own research to the course content.

Summer 2023 Faculty Book Club

Burnout, a mental health syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress, is endemic to higher education in a patriarchal, productivity-obsessed culture. In this unique book for women in higher education, Rebecca Pope-Ruark, PhD, draws from her own burnout experience, as well as collected stories of faculty in various roles and career stages, interviews with coaches and educational developers, and extensive secondary research to address and mitigate burnout.
