A best practice is to formulate and put your teaching philosophy into writing. However, it can be challenging. This workshop will enable anyone who teaches to begin a step-wise process based on critical reflection to discover and articulate their teaching philosophy. Participants will receive a workbook to guide them through completing the process on their own. This event is co-sponsored by FACET. Click here for more information and to register.

As IUPUI begins the process of reviewing general education courses, course coordinators or faculty responsible for preparing course portfolios for review may have questions about the information and materials that need to go into the portfolios. This workshop will provide an overview of the course review process, a review of course portfolio requirements, the process for assembling and submitting the portfolio, and the rubric that will be used to review the course portfolios. Examples from existing course portfolios will be incorporated into the workshop. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
This workshop is being offered in two formats: in person and online. When you register, you will be prompted to choose how you would like to attend.

In this webinar, instructors will share how they used Piazza to deliver supplemental course content, host discussions, help students collaborate online to solve problems, and measure participation. Piazza enables students to share explanations to problems and misunderstandings that arise on the homework, thereby ensuring that small technical issues do not derail student progress.
Instructors can provide hints, endorse answers, and add comments to build a complete response to a question. Students can post follow-up questions if the response was not enough to get them past the trouble spot. This helps to establish a learning community where students are helping one another. Instructors can also use Piazza to encourage, record and measure participation for specific discussion topics. Measuring and incentivizing participation fairly and effectively is challenging, but Piazza can help.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Instructional Technology (IT).

Parrish, G. (2018, Sept. 5). Jedi training: Developing habits of perception in our disciplines. Faculty Focus. https://tinyurl.com/ycunpwq7
As a practitioner in your discipline, you develop habits of mind over the years. Disciplinary ways of looking at and thinking about things are often implicit but faculty often wonder why it is so difficult to convey to their students. In this article, Parrish discusses class activities that can be used to make these habits of mind explicit and provide students with structured opportunities to practice the habits themselves.
