Dittman, A., Stephens, N., & Townsend, S. (2021, July 20). Research: How our class background affects the way we collaborate. Harvard Business Review
This article highlights research that shows that interdependent teamwork that leverages the group’s collective expertise and skills, rather than the divide and conquer approach, enables team members from lower social-class background to perform to their fullest potential or sometimes, even outperform their typically more advantaged counterparts from higher social-class background. Consider these implications when designing collaborative learning activities for your students!

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 an identified teaching practices in an appropriate context, and collecting and evaluating evidence of teaching and learning.

Getting students to come to class prepared can be a challenge, but it is essential to making productive use of class time. Learning increases when students prepare for class meetings and, in turn, helps students see the value of assuming responsibility for their learning. This session will introduce instructional strategies to guide students’ pre-class learning, making explicit the relevance pre-class work and its assessment to student learning outcomes.
