What is your role as a TA when faced with these challenges? This workshop will look at how to navigate academic integrity violations and potential misuses\, as well as how to distinguish between acceptable support with this technology and academic dishonesty. This session is part of the Improving Your Teaching Skills certificate program for graduate students and postdocs\, and it also fulfills Competencies 2 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program.  \nAudience: Graduate students and/or postdocs (register through the link below or under “Website” at the bottom of this page)  \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/ai-and-academic-integrity-grad-postdoc-workshop-2/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="Institute for Teaching%2C Innovation%2C &%3B Inclusive Pedagogy":MAILTO:TeachingInstitute@rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261027T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261027T153000 DTSTAMP:20261016T005056 CREATED:20260911T182139Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T182421Z UID:6160-1793109600-1793115000@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Metacognition is Uniquely Human: Metacognitive Strategies in the Age of Generative AI  DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: School of Arts and Sciences Office of Undergraduate Education \nLocation: Pane Room in the Alexander Library (College Avenue) \nMetacognition—our unique human ability to think about our own thinking—can help us gauge if\, when\, and how to use GenAI to support learning. The more we understand metacognition\, the better we can support learners in developing metacognitive skills and strategies that empower them to navigate the current technological landscape productively and with integrity. This interactive session provides an exploration of what metacognition is\, its relevance in the age of GenAI\, and easy-to-implement strategies that support metacognition in any discipline. \nExplicitly including metacognitive strategies into a course doesn’t have to take much time or even replace course content; participants can consider various ways to intentionally infuse these strategies into pre-existing coursework. \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/metacognition-is-uniquely-human-metacognitive-strategies-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/ LOCATION:Pane Room in the Alexander Library (College Avenue)\, 169 College Avenue\, New Brunswick\, NJ\, 08901\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="SAS Office of Undergraduate Education":MAILTO:teachinglearning@sas.rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261102T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261102T130000 DTSTAMP:20261016T005056 CREATED:20260821T155940Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260821T160009Z UID:5943-1793620800-1793624400@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Teaching Practical and Statistical Labs [Grad/Postdoc Workshop]  DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Sophia Fox-Dichter\, Karen Bacalia  \nThis workshop is ideal for Teaching Assistants looking to create a more engaging lab experience for their students.

We will examine how biases in training data can lead to discriminatory outcomes\, and you’ll learn about the significant environmental consequences of large-scale AI development. We’ll also discuss the potential impact on critical thinking skills in an age of increasing cognitive offloading. This workshop will equip you with the knowledge to critically engage with AI\, preparing you to navigate its complexities as both a student and a future professional. \nThis session can be applied toward Competency 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nInstructor: Joanne Dera (Science Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.

So how do we keep our composure and run an effective classroom environment when a few students prove to be more challenging? This session explores mitigation and prevention strategies\, both in the TA role and the lead instructor role.

This workshop introduces Discernment\, one of four core competencies in the AI Fluency Framework\, as a structured way to evaluate AI-generated content across three dimensions: factual accuracy\, quality of reasoning\, and framing. Participants will practice applying this lens to real examples\, moving beyond simple fact-checking to identify subtler errors in logic and perspective. \nThis session can be applied toward Competency 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nFacilitator: Joanne Dera (Science Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.

This workshop looks at what’s shaping the results you see when you use generative AI for research: what gets included\, what gets left out\, and why that can change depending on which tool you’re using. It’s a practical look at reading your search results with a more critical eye\, with room for questions and discussion along the way. \nThis session can be applied toward Competency 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nFacilitator: Joanne Dera (Science Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.

Participants will learn how to effectively harness AI tools and learn about different AI applications that can be used in conjunction with library databases. Additionally\, students will be taught how to cross-examine information with library resources and how to ethically use these resources for their course assignments. \nWhile geared towards students\, faculty are invited to attend to see how these tools could be used with students. \nThis session can be applied toward competencies 1 and 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nFacilitator: Jonathan Torres (Business Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.

This session will cover (1) components of a syllabus\, (2) how to develop equitable and thoughtful course policies\, and (3) incorporating flexible and accessible perspectives into your course design\, as well as practical tools for structuring your course timeline. This session is part of the Improving Your Teaching Skills certificate program for graduate students and postdocs.  \nAudience: Graduate students and/or postdocs (register through the link below or under “Website” at the bottom of this page)  \nREGISTER  URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/crafting-an-inclusive-syllabus-grad-postdoc-workshop-2/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="Institute for Teaching%2C Innovation%2C &%3B Inclusive Pedagogy":MAILTO:TeachingInstitute@rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261201T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261201T153000 DTSTAMP:20261016T005057 CREATED:20260911T181749Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T182346Z UID:6157-1796133600-1796139000@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Learning Happens in Dialogue: Instructional Prompts and Implications for Generative AI DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: School of Arts and Sciences Office of Undergraduate Education \nLocation: 202 ABC in the Livingston Student Center \nWhat does an effective instructional explanation look like in your discipline? How do your explanations guide students rather than just “telling them” the answers? This session introduces an evidence-based framework outlining the steps and features for facilitating productive teacher-student instructional dialogue in STEM but will invite all to consider what effective instructional dialogues look like in other disciplines. \nOur ability to guide students’ construction of knowledge through instructional explanations is especially important in the age of GenAI\, because when learners don’t “get it” in our classes\, they may turn to GenAI for explanations\, which may lead to inaccuracies\, passive learning\, and dependency (if not used productively). Session participants will have a chance to explore and consider both possibilities and pitfalls of students accessing GenAI for instructional explanations. \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/learning-happens-in-dialogue-instructional-prompts-and-implications-for-generative-ai/ LOCATION:202 ABC in the Livingston Student Center (Livingston)\, 84 Joyce Kilmer Ave\, Piscataway\, NJ\, 08854\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="SAS Office of Undergraduate Education":MAILTO:teachinglearning@sas.rutgers.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
