SUMMARY:Application Period for the Spring 2025 Inclusive Teaching Track
DESCRIPTION:About the Program\n\n\n\nIn this track of workshops\, we will discuss the relevant scholarly literature as we identify concrete strategies to cultivate equitable and welcoming classrooms where students from all backgrounds can thrive. Participants will practice reflecting on their own experiences and perspectives while learning effective strategies to be responsive to the diversity in their classrooms. By the end of the track\, participants will be able to apply an inclusive-classroom framework to create concrete and equitable teaching practices and learning activities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Schedule\n\n\n\nInclusive Teaching as a Mindset\n\n\n\nThursday\, April 10\, 2 – 4 pm \n\n\n\nIn this track of workshops\, we will discuss the relevant scholarly literature as we identify concrete strategies to cultivate equitable and welcoming classrooms where students from all backgrounds can thrive. Participants will practice reflecting on their own experiences and perspectives while learning effective strategies to be responsive to the diversity in their classrooms. By the end of the track\, participants will be able to apply an inclusive-classroom framework to create concrete and equitable teaching practices and learning activities. \n\n\n\nPrinciples and Strategies in Inclusive Teaching\n\n\n\nThursday\, April 24 – 4 pm \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we will discuss research that informs key principles of inclusive teaching. We will work together to apply these principles by planning how we will clearly communicate the purpose of learning\, build a sense of community\, and signal the importance of diverse perspectives. Through the application of these key principles\, we will design structured learning activities that create an equitable and welcoming classroom in which all students can learn. \n\n\n\nHow to Apply\n\n\n\nApplications must be received by 11:59 PM ET on Sunday\, March 23 to be considered. If you have additional questions or encounter difficulty with the application\, please contact Dan Nocivelli. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the Apply button will not work until the application is open.

SUMMARY:Grading for Growth: Toward More Humane\, Authentic\, and Trustworthy Ways to Evaluate Student Work
DESCRIPTION:Image: 994yellow/Adobe Stock\n\n\n\nDr. Robert Talbert\, Professor of Mathematics and Senior Faculty Fellow for Learning Futures at Grand Valley State University \n\n\n\nDescription \n\n\n\nGrading as we know it is significantly broken. The traditional approach involving one-and-done assessment\, points\, partial credit\, and averaging is demotivating for students\, demoralizing for faculty\, time-consuming\, disconnected from science\, and of questionable statistical validity. But it is changeable\, and in fact there is no better time than now to explore alternatives that prioritize student growth and align better with how humans learn. In this talk\, we will explore the history and issues of traditional grading\, propose a framework for “alternative” grading practices\, and see how to implement alternative grading without massive requirements of time or energy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nRobert Talbert is a Professor of Mathematics and Senior Faculty Fellow for Learning Futures at Grand Valley State University in Allendale\, Michigan. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University. Through over 25 years of being a classroom instructor\, Robert has experimented with and advocated for research-based\, student-focused innovation in teaching and learning. He was an early adopter of computer-based learning in mathematics and helped to pioneer the use of flipped instruction at the college level. He turned these experiences into a blog\, Casting Out Nines\, in 2006 which catalyzed a global online community around instructional innovation. \n\n\n\nIn addition to his teaching responsibilities\, Robert holds the position of Senior Faculty Fellow for Learning Futures at Grand Valley State\, where he works on behalf of the university president to coordinate institution-wide pedagogical innovation projects. He is the author of Flipped Learning: A Guide for Higher Education Faculty and the co-author (with his GVSU colleague Dr. David Clark) of Grading For Growth\, and gives keynote addresses and workshops to faculty groups throughout the US and abroad. His continued writing projects include the Grading For Growth Substack and Intentional Academia\, a Substack publication about productivity and purpose in higher education. \n\n\n\nRobert lives in western Michigan with his wife\, teenage children\, and three cats. On weekends and evenings\, you can find him playing bass in one of four bands he belongs to in the Grand Rapids area.
