Reflection and Letter of Completion

Purpose

The purpose of this reflection exercise is to give you the opportunity to synthesize your learning from the Inclusive Teaching Toolbox webinar series and consider how you have applied or will apply it in your teaching practice. This reflection exercise will help you close the loop on this professional development effort and articulate its impact on your growth as a scholarly teacher who engages in research-based, inclusive, and equitable teaching. We encourage you to use your reflection responses in your annual review documents (e.g., Digital Measures Activity Insight) and your teaching portfolio/philosophy.

Steps to complete and submit reflection

• This reflection exercise may take 60- to 90-minutes to complete and submit.
• Please answer the four questions below. Your responses altogether should be no longer than two pages in a single spaced Word or PDF document. 
  1. Identify one to two key takeaways from each of the four webinars.
  2. How might you utilize these takeaways in your teaching to improve student learning and make your courses more equitable?
  3. As you reflect upon the four webinars, what is one recurrent insight or theme that is salient for you and your teaching?
  4. What plans do you have for incorporating what you learned in the Inclusive Teaching Toolbox webinar series to enhance your teaching effectiveness? Please provide an example to illustrate the change.
• You will upload your document to the link provided in the invitation email which will be sent to all webinar series participants in mid-April.
• Reflections are due Sunday, May 12. 

Letter of Completion

CTL consultants will review your submissions looking for complete, thoughtful, and clear responses to all the four questions. Reviews will be completed by the end of December and and you will receive a letter of completion for inclusion in your teaching portfolio and dossiers. Participants whose submissions are incomplete  or do not meet the criteria of thoughtful and clear responses may not receive a letter of completion.

If you have any questions about the reflection exercise, please contact the CTL at thectl@iupui.edu.
