We at the CTL feel that student responses could prove useful for guiding programming to support faculty development. The role of this session is to introduce faculty to the survey and most recent set of findings in order to gather initial impressions of the data and its potential uses for faculty. Please join us at one of these sessions to learn more about NSSE and give us your thoughts! \nFacilitated by Laura Almstead\, Eva Cosoroaba\, Mary Burke\, and Wendy Berenback. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

DESCRIPTION:With their focus on quality over quantity\, shorter writing assignments increase student precision\, reduce fluff\, discourage procrastination\, and strengthen writing skills. When paired with in-class peer-review activities\, using sentence outlines\, and some limited coaching\, the result is stronger and shorter papers that allow you to spend less time grading and responding. During this virtual workshop\, we will look at these and other strategies to meet your assignment goals in fewer pages. Participants are welcome to bring one of their existing ‘long’ writing assignments. \nFacilitated by Ingrid Nelson\, Associate Professor of Geography & WID Faculty Associate \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

We will see examples of writing assignments across disciplines that draw out the assets of multilingual and international writers\, and will review strategies that can ensure that all of our students are set up for success throughout the writing process. We will then consider how to respond to and evaluate student writing in ways that are both effective and affirming for writers of all language backgrounds. Throughout the discussion\, we will reference the framework of Critical Language Awareness\, an approach to writing instruction that prioritizes students’ self-reflection and rhetorical agency\, and promotes social justice in the academy and beyond. There will be opportunities for Q/A at multiple points in the session. \nThis workshop is facilitated by Shawna Shapiro\, associate professor of writing and linguistics and Director of Middlebury College’s Writing and Rhetoric Program. Her research focuses on college transitions and innovative writing pedagogies\, especially for international and immigrant-background students. Her 2022 book\, Cultivating Critical Language Awareness in the Writing Classroom\, is published by Routledge.

Through discussion\, reflective writing and embodied practices we will explore what radical self-care is for you and what supports a thriving community for all. \nFacilitated by Jenna Emerson\, Health and Sexuality Educator Living Well\, UVM Center for Health and Wellbeing. \nPeopleSoft registration code: COM075 \nMore details on how to register for this workshop can be found here.  URL:https://cms.ctl.w3.uvm.edu/event/radical-self-care/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220318T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220318T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T063357 CREATED:20220216T125339Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220224T183533Z UID:18320-1647619200-1647622800@cms.ctl.w3.uvm.edu SUMMARY:Teaching While BIPOC DESCRIPTION:BIPOC faculty are invited to attend this panel discussion featuring UVM faculty members Randall Harp (CAS\, Philosophy)\, Thomas Macias (CAS\, Sociology)\, Laura May-Collado (CAS\, Biology) and Cynthia Reyes (CESS).

Very often Gen Z students do not respond as did students in the past to extrinsic motivators such as bonus quizzes and extra credit assignments. However\, as James Raffini presents in 150 Ways to Increase Intrinsic Motivation in the Classroom\, when the psychoacademic needs of students are met in creative ways\, student motivation soars.  This workshop will engage faculty in a discussion about addressing student needs for autonomy\, competence\, relatedness\, self-esteem\, and enjoyment in order to significantly increase student motivation. \nThis workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Saundra McGuire\, author of Teach Students How to Learn. Dr. McGuire\, Director Emerita of Louisiana State University’s Center for Academic Success\, is a chemist and educator who has presented around the world on the science of learning. She has a particular interest in supporting underrepresented students in math and STEM fields\, but her work on metacognition and motivation has applications in every field. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access.

DESCRIPTION:All STEM students who are admitted to the institution have the ability to succeed in STEM courses. However\, most do not have effective learning strategies and resort to memorizing information just before tests. \nThis interactive workshop will introduce faculty to cognitive science research-based learning strategies that will help all students experience meaningful\, transferable learning. \nThe session will focus on ways to teach STEM students simple yet powerful learning strategies to ensure success in STEM courses. \nThis workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Saundra McGuire\, author of Teach Students How to Learn. Dr. McGuire\, Director Emerita of Louisiana State University’s Center for Academic Success\, is a chemist and educator who has presented around the world on the science of learning.

DESCRIPTION:Students come to college with widely varying academic skills\, approaches to learning\, and motivation levels. Faculty often lament that students are focused on achieving high grades\, but are not willing to invest much time or effort in learning. This session will focus on the importance of helping students acquire simple\, but effective\, learning strategies based on cognitive science principles. We will engage in interactive reflection activities that will allow attendees to experience strategies that can significantly improve student success by transforming students’ attitudes about the meaning of learning. \nThis workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Saundra McGuire\, author of Teach Students How to Learn.

Are you interested in helping your students understand and use your comments? During this session\, we will watch and reflect on the 8-minute film\, Beyond the Red Ink\, featuring seven students who talk “openly about the role teachers’ comments have played in their lives as college writers and offer their own advice\, in their own words to writing teachers.” The film will be followed by a look at some UVM students’ thoughts on instructor responses and a discussion with colleagues. \nFacilitated by Susanmarie Harrington\, WID Director \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

Evidence from a national study shows that when faculty implement small changes to enhance transparency to the design of even just two assignments\, there are statistically significant benefits for all students and even larger gains for first-generation students\, low-income students\, and students of color (Winkelmes et al.\, 2016). \nIn this workshop\, we’ll share examples and a simple framework for transparent assignment design—Purpose\, Task\, Criteria. You’ll be able to start the groundwork to “TILT” two of your own assignments. \nFacilitated by Jen Garrett-Ostermiller and Susanmarie Harrington. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

This workshop explores principles for making rubrics that work and will guide participants in determining whether rubrics are the right solution to the grading or responding challenges they want to address. We will also demonstrate integrating your rubrics into the Blackboard Rubric Tool; this makes grading in Blackboard much easier! \nFacilitated by Susanmarie Harrington\, Writing in the Disciplines & Ines Berrizbeitia\, Center for Teaching and Learning \nThis workshop will be held virtually via Teams.  You will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access! \nWant to rework a rubric of your own?  You might be interested in one of our Rework Your Rubric sessions!
