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).

SUMMARY:Equity-Fostering Syllabus Working Group
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid\, Biweekly\, Fridays from 10:00-11:00am \nThis is a collaborative\, faculty-led\, practically-oriented community focusing on fostering equity through developing our syllabi and engaging them meaningfully in class. The group will focus not only on “how-to” craft an inclusive/equity-centering syllabus\, but how to continue to engage the syllabus throughout the semester toward fostering equity in the classroom and institutionally. Meetings are intended to be conversational and collaborative workshops\, with attendees co-facilitating as/if needed\, and sharing and discussing syllabus elements\, engagement strategies\, successes\, and conundrums. We will also work with and be informed by literature on critical pedagogies\, social justice education\, and equity\, as these become relevant in the group. \nIn Fall 2022\, the syllabus working group will continue to develop a sharable “equity starter pack” for syllabi to include suggested language\, organizational structures\, and ways to present and engage the syllabus throughout the semester. \nFor questions or to get the Zoom link\, contact the conveners: Lily Herakova\, Communication and Journalism/WGS (liliana.herakova@maine.edu) and Kevin Roberge\, Mathematics/WGS (kevin.roberge@maine.edu). \nDates: September 9th\, September 23rd\, October 7th\, October 21st\, November 4th\, November 18th\, & December 2nd

SUMMARY:Considering alternative assessment strategies
DESCRIPTION:In-person workshop \nThe way that instructors assess student performance has a profound effect on how students experience learning and how instructors spend their time inside and outside of class. In this discussion\, participants will explore three alternatives to traditional grading that attempt to ameliorate the learning experience and make better use of instructors’ limited resources: Mastery Grading\, Contract Grading\, and Ungrading. Participants will reflect upon their current grading methods\, explore the use of alternative assessment practices\, and consider how they might implement them in their teaching context. Special attention will be given to how alternative grading methods can help instructors practice equity-focused teaching.  \nThis workshop has been postponed for a later date.
