But what happens when they don’t want to interact with us? How can we still be good instructors? In this workshop\, we will dive into the world of the quiet classroom (both the physical AND the virtual) and how we can alter our teaching methods to engage effectively with these students. This session is part of the Improving Your Classroom 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/engaging-a-quiet-classroom-grad-postdoc-workshop/ 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=UTC:20260212T103000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260212T113000 DTSTAMP:20260414T091235 CREATED:20251209T221934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260202T190545Z UID:3608-1770892200-1770895800@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Teaching Strategies that Support Introverted Learners DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively one-hour virtual session that flips the script on active learning by centering the needs and strengths of introverted students. We will explore simple strategies that create space for quieter thinkers\, including low-pressure participation options\, multiple modes of engagement\, and reflective activities that still keep energy high. Participants will leave with practical ideas they can use right away to make active learning feel more inviting and inclusive for everyone\, not just the loudest voices in the room.

Andrés will share with us some strategies he has employed in developing new writing assignments that incorporate generative AI both in the brainstorming and writing processes and across a variety of levels\, from a 400-level capstone experience to a 100-level introductory survey. \nTogether we will discuss his thinking about the potential of AI to help support academic writing skills and ways to discuss the ethics of these tools with students. We welcome all perspectives to join us for this event where we hope to explore the complexities of generative AI and writing through an informal and conversational exchange of ideas. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/tea-teaching-with-jenevieve-delossantos/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Learning Community ORGANIZER;CN="SAS Office of Undergraduate Education":MAILTO:teachinglearning@sas.rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251118T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251118T130000 DTSTAMP:20260414T091235 CREATED:20251110T203601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251110T203601Z UID:3499-1763467200-1763470800@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:AI for Differentiating Instruction DESCRIPTION:This session will explore strategies for differentiating instruction\, an inclusive teaching approach that involves modifying content\, process\, products\, or the learning environment to meet the diverse needs of individual students in a classroom. We will also explore ways in which GenAI tools can be used to help you design and tailor these activities efficiently and easily\, helping you do more for your students.   \nREGISTER HERE \nA recording will be made available to view after the meeting has been completed.

Explore the possibilities of GenAI to scaffold existing assignments\, emphasizing the thinking process over a single final answer (product). The benefit of process-oriented assignments is that they foster students’ critical thinking and support the use of AI as a learning partner rather than as a tool to complete their assignments. \nThis session can be used towards Competencies 1 and 4 of the Teaching & Generative AI Pathways. \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/scaffolding-assignment-with-genai/ CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
