SUMMARY:Creating an inclusive syllabus to support student success
DESCRIPTION:NEW DATE & TIME! \nIn-person workshop \nAre you updating or creating a syllabus for your fall semester course? Your course syllabus can be a powerful tool that can effectively establish classroom norms\, performance expectations and foster student engagement.

SUMMARY:Using iClickers to promote student engagement and learning
DESCRIPTION:In-person workshop \niClickers (or other response systems) can be an extremely effective tools to engage your students in content and their own learning while simultaneously informing you about student thinking. To be maximally effective\, key factors need to be considered. In this workshop\, we will present research and approaches on how to maximize the information gained using classroom response devices. Participants will have an opportunity to practice writing your own questions and brainstorming how you might use these tools in your teaching. After\, participants will have time to reflect on their clicker practice this semester\, identify areas of improvement or change\, and receive feedback from both peers and facilitators. If possible\, please bring: 1) questions that you have used in the past and would like to improve\, and/or 2) a conceptual difficulty from your class or persistent sticking point for learners. \nRegister here for this event (opens in a new window)

SUMMARY:Three simple steps to make your assignments more transparent and inclusive
DESCRIPTION:In-person workshop \n  \nThe transparency in learning and teaching framework (TILT) is based on research which showed that by using transparent methods\, learning\, retention and self-efficacy is raised for all students\, and in particular for first-generation students and other underrepresented groups (Winkelmas et. al.\,  2016). Building transparent assignments is one concrete way to make your course more inclusive and accessible to diverse learners. In this workshop you will be trained on the simple core components of transparent assignment design\, how to evaluate assignments for transparency\, and peer-review assignments to identify areas where transparent methods could be applied. You will leave this workshop with a modified version of one assignment illustrating how to build transparency into your teaching practice. Please bring a paper copy of one of your assignments\, and any provided evaluation criteria to this workshop. \nRegister for this workshop here (opens in a Google Form).
