In addition to promoting deeper learning, active learning strategies can also promote inclusion and equity. However, the social aspects of active learning, such as group work, may negatively impact students with stigmatized identities. This article demonstrates that students with various identities, including those who are politically conservative, commute to campus, and identify as queer, report lower inclusion in group work. The authors also discuss implications for structuring group work.

A teaching philosophy presents a faculty member’s reflection on the experiences and beliefs that shape his or her teaching and learning strategies. Often used as part of a job application, a promotion and tenure dossier, a teaching award nomination, or course syllabi, a teaching philosophy captures and documents a teacher’s values and aspirations in teaching. This webinar will review one model for structuring a teaching philosophy and will also examine some example philosophies. Webinar participants will take the first steps in articulating their teaching philosophy; those who have already begun to craft a philosophy will have an opportunity to continue that work. This webinar is the 1st webinar in a 3-webinar series designed to introduce faculty and graduate students to the process of creating, refining and documenting one’s teaching practices.

Documenting a teaching practice becomes much easier if the faculty member can situate the teaching practice amidst best practices, identifying when and how student learning occurs, and identify the kinds of evidence needed to document and measure student learning outcomes. This webinar helps faculty describe learning events for two major categories of student learning experiences. Webinar participants will take first steps to articulating a sequence of learning events for particular assignments. Afterward, faculty members may work with CTL consultants to continue planning efforts to document teaching practices. This webinar is the 2nd webinar in a 3-webinar series designed to introduce faculty and graduate students to the process of creating, refining and documenting one’s teaching practices.

Good assessment practices include checking students’ learning on a regular basis during the learning experience. They provide faculty with feedback on what, how much, and how well their students are learning. Instructors can use this feedback to modify their teaching to improve student learning. It helps students reflect on their learning and identify gaps in their knowledge. In this webinar, participants will learn the difference between formative and summative assessment as well as how to implement formative assessment techniques in different teaching contexts and disciplines. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.

Metacognitive skills involve assessing the demands of a task, evaluating one’s own knowledge and skills, planning an approach, monitoring one’s progress, and adjusting strategies as needed to complete the task. Participants will learn how to blend metacognitive skill instruction with content instruction by using strategies such as instructor modeling of reflection, student self-reflection, visual organizers, formative assessments, and more.
