SUMMARY:Interpreting SIRS and other forms of Student Feedback (Virtual Interactive Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:While students are crucial stakeholders in the university’s teaching enterprise\, their feedback should not be mistaken for “evaluation of teaching\,” which is a task for instructional colleagues. Student feedback is an indicator which provides evidence that must be interpreted. In this workshop\, we explore scholarly research on the limitations and potential biases of student feedback. We present strategies for how department chairs and program directors should review\, interpret\, and utilize the likert-scale and comment responses from the Student Instructional Ratings Survey (SIRS) to improve course curriculum\, support faculty\, and evaluate teaching. This workshop is especially beneficial for those who regularly engage with SIRS\, but we also encourage anyone from the university community interested in learning about best practices in interpreting student feedback to join us. To attend the workshop or to receive the video recording after the workshop\, please register. \nFacilitated by the Office of Teaching Evaluation and Assessment Research. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Generative Artificial Intelligence & Bias: What to Know & Discuss with Students (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:The outputs of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) might seem objective\, but they are reflective of the datasets on which they are trained and their respective algorithms. Therefore\, they might contain information that is inaccurate\, biased\, or misleading. During this interactive session\, we will explore what is known about bias and GenAI and potential conversations that we can have with our students to support their literacy. \nThis session can count toward Competency 1 of the Classroom Inclusivity Series. \nThis session can also count toward Competency 3 of the Teaching & Generative AI Pathways. \nREGISTER \nNote: The Zimmerli Art Museum is located on the College Avenue Campus.

DESCRIPTION:Tea & Teaching is an informal conversation around all things teaching hosted by Jenevieve DeLosSantos\, Director of Special Pedagogic Projects in the Office of Undergraduate Education.  \nJoin us for a “part-two” conversation with Elizabeth Matto\, Director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics about teaching during this challenging moment. After joining us last semester with valuable insights about teaching during the election\, Elizabeth returns to “Tea and Teaching” to share strategies for facilitating productive and respectful classroom discourse from her “Talking Across Difference” initiative. During this moment of continued uncertainty and instability\, helping to create spaces where our students can develop critical thinking skills\, encounter and respond to differing views\, and better understand their own core values is more crucial than ever. We invite you to join us\, regardless of your discipline\, to learn more from Elizabeth and share your own experiences and classroom strategies. \nREGISTER \n

SUMMARY:Presentation: A National Framework for Equitable and Effective Teaching in STEM
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine convened an ad hoc committee to develop a framework for “equitable and effective teaching in undergraduate STEM and identify policies and practices at the departmental\, programmatic\, and institutional levels that can facilitate implementation of the principles.” \nSTEM faculty\, department chairs\, program directors\, administrators\, and students are invited to register to attend a presentation on the report facilitated by a member of the committee and the director of the Institute for Teaching\, Innovation\, and Inclusive Pedagogy\, Dr. Tracie Addy. In the report\, the committee was charged to: \n\nPresent a framework for equitable and effective teaching that includes attention to:\n\nApproaches to and guidelines for evidence-based\, inclusive teaching;\nEquitable and effective teaching practices for different modes of teaching (e.g.\, in-person\, online\, blended and hybrid teaching)\, and different educational contexts (e.g.\, 2-year colleges\, hybrid program\, research institutions);\nThe roles that technology does\, or can in the future\, play in supporting equitable and effective teaching.\n\n\nDiscuss the experiences and training opportunities graduate students and postdoctoral students will need in order to be prepared to employ equitable and effective instruction as future faculty members.\nExamine the institutional infrastructure\, policies\, and practices needed to encourage and support evidence-based teaching\, such as opportunities for professional development\, faculty evaluation policies and practices\, and reward and advancement systems.\nProvide actionable recommendations for institutions\, disciplinary societies\, funders\, and policy makers on steps that could support implementation of the framework.\n\nThis session can count towards Competency 2 of the Classroom Inclusivity Series. \nACCESS THE REPORT

SUMMARY:Contemplative Practices for Inclusiveness and Equanimity (onsite)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop reviews the sciences of breathing and meditation and how they affect cognition and emotion. Drawing from the millennia-old science of yoga and meditation\, the workshop introduces two tools\, one breathing method and one meditation\, that enhance wellbeing\, inclusiveness\, and balance. The pedagogy involves a paradigm shift from cognitive learning of teaching tactics to experiential learning of a foundational shift in faculty’s inner teaching experiences and transformative relations with students. With regular and consistent practice\, these tools enable faculty to consciously respond to challenging situations while teaching and enhance their wellbeing and inclusion of others in the classroom and beyond. Participants are invited to participate in an IRB-approved workshop evaluation study that assesses the feasibility and effectiveness of these practices on the inclusion of others\, equanimity\, and wellbeing. Fulfills Competency 1. \nFacilitated by the School of Management and Labor Relations as part of the University of Equity and Inclusion’s Classroom Inclusivity Series. \nREGISTER
