Join us for CUTS: Responding to Student Climate Concerns, an interactive performance which invites participants to think together about the many forces that can shape campus climate both positively and negatively. Using activities and facilitated discussion, participants will recognize the impacts of an 'isolated' bias incident on targeted learners, assess the ways they listen to others' stories about negative experiences, and share strategies for responding to concerns.
This program will be performed by the University of Michigan Center for Research on Teaching and Learning Theatre Program. This event is sponsored by the IU School of Medicine and the Center for Teaching and Learning.

Would you like to know more about how etexts can support student learning and engagement? Not only does the e-text platform provide a great savings for students and an assurance for faculty that all students have required material from the first day of the semester, but it also provides opportunities to encourage engagement and ensure students are reading. Faculty can make and share annotations on text, useful in asking deeper questions or providing additional context for passages in the book. Additionally, students can make their own notes and share them with others or tag a note as a question, which is then sent to the instructor to answer.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Instructional Technology (IT).

Diversity and inclusion play an important role in promoting student learning. Today’s college students are increasingly diverse compared to prior generations. Traditional teaching strategies have also been shown to lead to lower academic achievement for underserved students compared to majority students even when differences in GPA and other factors are controlled for. By considering the diversity of the classroom and implementing equitable teaching strategies, instructors can increase student learning and sense of belonging for all students, not just those who are underserved. In this webinar, participants will learn how to leverage student diversity and incorporate inclusive teaching strategies in their classrooms. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
This event aligns with the Instructional Strategies (IS) competency for the IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program.

Faculty who seek to refine and promote their teaching efforts may document their work through the development of a teaching portfolio, a site where faculty engage in reflective practice to measure the effectiveness of, and to refine, their teaching practices. This webinar introduces faculty to the teaching portfolio and to the several interrelated tasks that yield the teaching portfolio's elements: developing a teaching philosophy, identifying specific teaching practices to explore, document, and to improve, situating identified teaching practices in appropriate context, and collecting and evaluating evidence of teaching and learning.

Hobbs, P. & Kropp, E. (2018, June 22). Finding the instructional value in peer review discussion boards. Faculty Focus.
It’s easy to assume that students understand how and why to give peer feedback, but that is not always the case. It can be especially awkward in online discussions. Instructor involvement, both modelling and coaching, can be the key to student engagement and learning in peer review activities.
