SUMMARY:How instructors can support student well-being
DESCRIPTION:College campuses across the country are struggling to respond to the significant social\, emotional\, and economic burdens carried by our students. With the dual challenge of navigating ongoing remote learning while also envisioning how we come back together in person\, the work of caring for ourselves and one another is more important than ever.  \n\n\n\nWell-Being for Life and Learning (WBLL)\, an initiative led by the University of Washington Resilience Lab\, is focused on meeting this moment by helping instructors design learning environments that promote well-being. A guidebook recently released by the WBLL initiative combines research\, teaching practices\, and personal testimony to provide instructors with concrete ideas to support the whole student and promote resilience\, compassion\, and connection.  \n\n\n\nIn this interactive session\, developers of the Well-Being for Life and Learning initiative will discuss why engaging the whole campus in advancing student well-being is imperative. The session will include a sample of practices and teaching strategies drawn from the guidebook\, considerations for developing a community of practice around this work\, and reflections on leveraging well-being practices and resilience coping skills to teach in a more equitable and inclusive way. \n\n\n\nYou will be able to post your questions throughout this session and have them addressed in a Q&A following the panel discussion. \n\n\n\nPlease register to receive your Zoom link. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this session\, participants will:\n\n\n\nLearn about the background and purpose of the University of Washington’s Resilience Lab and Well-Being for Life and Learning (WBLL) initiativeReceive an overview of the Foundations of Advancing Student Well-Being\, which set the stage for the WBLL initiative’s recent guidebook and include: teaching for equity and access\, nurturing connection\, building resilience coping skills\, and connecting to the environmentLearn directly from an instructor about the experiences and challenges that come with implementing teaching practices to support the whole student Be introduced to a few models for building communities of practice to support instructors in designing learning environments that promote well-being\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nMegan Kennedy\n\n\n\nMegan Kennedy (she\, her\, hers)\, MA\, LMHC\, is the director of the University of Washington Resilience Lab and co-chair of the UW Student Well-Being Collaborative. Kennedy’s focus at the UW is on leading strategic initiatives to support student mental health and well-being. Kennedy believes that building systems to support high-quality wellness and educational programs requires teamwork at every level. From engaging community stakeholders in vision-setting to partnering with students\, staff\, and instructors\, her approach to leadership centers collaborative relationships. Kennedy\, who has a background in mental health counseling\, served as clinical director at Youth Eastside Services (Redmond\, WA) before working at the UW. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobin Evans-Agnew \n\n\n\nDr. Evans-Agnew (he\, him\, his) is an associate professor in the vibrant University of Washington Tacoma’s School of Nursing and Healthcare Leadership. He is focused on upstream actions to transform inequities\, especially as they relate to asthma and environmental justice and trauma-informed nursing practice. He is co-editor of an upcoming special issue of Health Promotion Practice on photovoice – a method for empowering communities for transformative change. In his research and practice\, he explores and engages with the intersection of action inquiry processes and group leadership and followership. In particular\, he leads a regional community of practice with other nurse leaders focused on transforming nursing education for resiliency and prevention of the lifelong consequences of adverse childhood experiences. As a community-based nurse\, he has worked extensively with Black\, Indigenous\, People of Color for community transformation\, including a 9- year Community-Based Participatory Research partnership with the Mujeres Latinas Apoyando la Comunidad\, a group of new immigrant mothers of children with asthma. His second degree was in nursing from Johns Hopkins University and he completed his Masters in nursing at the University of Washington (1998) working with a northwest tribe on a culturally appropriate physical activity assessment. His PhD (UW\, 2011) concerned asthma management inequities in Black urban youth from Seattle.

SUMMARY:Mind the Gap
DESCRIPTION:How active learning improves equity in STEM classrooms \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEducational inequity remains one of the most persistent and intractable problems in our society. Without equity\, the STEM workforce in particular is unlikely to meet the needs of the growing economy. It will also suffer from stunted innovation\, as diverse groups are more creative and more successful at solving complex problems.  \n\n\n\nDespite widespread efforts to increase access to and inclusion in STEM\, minoritized students remain excluded from both STEM majors and STEM professions. The reasons for this are complex but instructors can play an active role in disrupting these inequities. For example\, active learning techniques have been shown to improve student performance on average\, but can active learning also be a partial solution to achieving equitable student outcomes?  \n\n\n\nThis talk will be presented by Elli Theobald\, Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. Her recent work demonstrates that opportunity gaps—differential performance between minoritized students (BIPOC students as well as low-income students) and over-represented students—were reduced by 75% in college STEM courses when instructors incorporated active learning strategies\, but only when active learning was implemented in a majority of class time. \n\n\n\nYou will be able to post your questions throughout this session and have them addressed in a Q&A following the panel discussion. \n\n\n\nPlease register to receive your Zoom link. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuest Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElli Theobald\, PhD\n\n\n\nElli Theobald\, is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. Prior to her current position\, she worked as a middle school and high school teacher\, completed her PhD in ecology\, and transitioned to discipline-based education research as a postdoc. Currently\, the heart of Theobald’s research program revolves around how to be a better teacher\, with particular emphasis on how to achieve equity in college-level STEM classes.

SUMMARY:Trauma-informed Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the neuroscience of toxic stress and how to increase engagement\, connection\, and healing in the classroom. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, led by Dr. Mays Imad\, we will consider the notion of psychological trauma — why it happens and how it impacts our body and brain.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecifically\, we will examine:  \n\n\n\nthe principles and practical examples of trauma-informed approaches and reflect on the connections between trauma-informed education\, healing\, and restorative justice;the connections between stress and trauma and how stress can become traumatic when not managed; andthe neuroscience of traumatic stress and its impact on our ability to engage\, connect\, and learn. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis virtual presentation will be followed by a live audience Q&A and is open to all members of teaching and learning community. We invite you to join the discussion as we reflect on the following key questions: \n\n\n\n(1) How are we welcoming our students and colleagues back into our institutions and classrooms this fall and beyond?  \n\n\n\n(2) As educators\, what can we do to help support students’ mental health and ameliorate their exhaustion and distress\, while at the same time\, intentionally engaging in self-care? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register to receive your Zoom link. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is hosted by the MIT Teaching + Learning Lab with the support of Student Support and Wellbeing (MIT Division of Student Life) and MindHandHeart. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuest Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMays Imad\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nMays Imad received her undergraduate training from the University of Michigan–Dearborn where she studied philosophy. She received her doctoral degree in Cellular & Clinical Neurobiology from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit\, Michigan. She then completed a National Institute of Health-Funded postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Arizona in the Department of Neuroscience. She joined the department of life & physical sciences at Pima Community College in Tucson\, Arizona as an adjunct faculty member in 2009 and later as a full-time faculty member in 2013. During her tenure at Pima\, she taught Physiology\, Pathophysiology\, Genetics\, Biotechnology\, and Biomedical ethics. She also founded Pima’s Teaching and Learning Center (TLC).  \n\n\n\nMays is a Gardner Institute Fellow and an AAC&U Senior Fellow within the Office of Undergraduate STEM Education. Dr. Imad’s research focuses on stress\, self-awareness\, advocacy\, and classroom community\, and how these impact student learning and success. Through her teaching and research she seeks to provide her students with transformative opportunities that are grounded in the aesthetics of learning\, truth-seeking\, justice\, and self-realization.  \n\n\n\nOutside of the classroom\, Dr. Imad works with faculty members across disciplines at her own institution and across the country to promote inclusive\, equitable\, and contextual education–all rooted in the latest research on the neurobiology of learning. A nationally-recognized expert on trauma-informed teaching and learning\, she passionately advocates for institutions to make mental health a top priority and to systematically support the education of the whole student.

SUMMARY:Creating Learning Environments to Support Student Motivation Post-Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Professor Carlton Fong (Texas State University) will discuss evidence-based strategies to maximize student confidence\, learning\, and belonging. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPhoto by Julian Paolo Dayag\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Online Presentation\n\n\n\nThe MIT Teaching + Learning Lab is very pleased to welcome Carlton Fong\, assistant professor in the Graduate Program in Developmental Education and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Texas State University. Professor Fong will discuss his work which explores student well-being. \n\n\n\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, rapid shifts in students’ lives profoundly affected their well-being\, mental health\, and academic motivation. Research shows that students were most worried about staying motivated to do their academic work during the pandemic. Grounded by meta-analytic research in educational psychology\, this talk will unpack ways to think about student motivation\, particularly for those experiencing difficult transitions. It will emphasize evidence-based strategies for a post-pandemic reality that maximizes motivation by helping students build confidence\, find value in learning\, seek help\, and feel like they belong. \n\n\n\nIt’s important to note that these strategies could be applied in classrooms as well as in lab\, mentoring\, and advising work with undergraduate and graduate students. \n\n\n\nALL ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND BY ZOOM \n\n\n\nRegister now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\nDr. Carlton J. Fong is an assistant professor in the Graduate Program in Developmental Education and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Texas State University. \n\n\n\nAs a scholar-practitioner at the intersection of educational psychology and higher education\, Dr. Fong uses a sociocultural lens to study motivational factors influencing postsecondary student engagement\, achievement\, and persistence. He is also an expert in meta-analysis and research synthesis and is currently the chair of the Motivation in Education Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, he was recognized as an Association for Psychological Science Rising Star and an AERA Deeper Learning Fellow.

SUMMARY:Social Class and Peer Collaboration in Elite Engineering Schools
DESCRIPTION:Professor Anthony Johnson (The Ohio State University) will discuss the role of social class in shaping students’ interactions with peers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPhoto by Jeremy Thomas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Online Presentation\n\n\n\nThe MIT Teaching + Learning Lab is very pleased to welcome Anthony M. Johnson\, assistant professor in the Department of Sociology\, at The Ohio State University. Professor Johnson shares an abstract of his April 27 presentation: \n\n\n\n“Although scholars have extensively documented social class differences in students’ relationships with educational institutions through their interactions with authority figures and the unequal institutional advantages these interactions yield\, little is known about the role of social class in shaping students’ interactions with peers in ways that produce unequal institutional advantages. \n\n\n\nDrawing on a qualitative case study of an engineering school at an elite private university—including interviews with six administrators and 88 undergraduates\, as well as participant observation—I show that the social class context of students’ high schools\, a proxy for social class\, shapes the peer help-seeking and help-giving (collaborative) strategies they use in college\, which can create inequalities in the institutional advantages they secure\, e.g.\, academic help\, support\, and learning opportunities. \n\n\n\nCompared to their less privileged counterparts\, privileged students\, who come from socioeconomically advantaged contexts where they become familiar with collaboration and upper-middle-class cultural signals\, more readily collaborate with their classmates in college and are more likely to display signals communicating that they are “good” collaborators.” \n\n\n\nALL ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND BY ZOOM \n\n\n\nRegister now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\nAnthony M. Johnson is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at The Ohio State University. His research focuses broadly on the cultural mechanisms of inequality reproduction in education. His current work explores new forms of inequality among peer groups in the wake of the widespread adoption of collaborative learning approaches in science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) programs. \n\n\n\nHis current book project\, Engineering Advantage: How Inequality Persists in an Era of Collaborative Learning\, examines the disparate collaborative experiences of college students in elite engineering schools and the role of the culture and structure of these programs in reproducing these disparities. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProfessor Johnson’s research has most recently appeared in Sociology of Education and has been supported by the National Science Foundation\, the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation\, and the Mindset Scholars Network. He completed his PhD in Sociology at Northwestern University and postdoctoral training with the Inequality in America Initiative at Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Rigor as Inclusive Practice
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jamiella Brooks (U Penn) and Dr. Julie McGurk (Yale) will discuss how inclusive teaching\, by definition\, promotes academic rigor. \n\n\n\nDo you worry that you need to forfeit rigor to create an inclusive learning environment? Evidence suggests that true inclusion necessitates rigor to empower all of our students to grow\, build on their strengths\, and learn. Incorrect assumptions that rigor and inclusion are in opposition lead to teaching practices that are neither inclusive nor equitable and that lead to unnecessary stress. This interactive workshop will illuminate the ways that the term “rigor” is often misused or misunderstood\, and will guide participants to a more inclusive\, substantive\, (and dare we say\, more rigorous!) enactment of rigor in their teaching. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is hosted by the Teaching + Learning Lab \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuest Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJamiella Brooks\, Ph.D.\, brings over ten years of professional experience at the intersection of higher education and advancing diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and justice through training\, outreach\, scholarship programs\, and affinity groups. Currently\, she is the Director of Student Equity & Inclusion Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. Jamiella earned her Ph.D. in French Literature at University of California\, Davis and has served as a Fulbright Teaching Assistant in France\, and was a scholar in both McNair and Mellon Fellows programs. \n\n\n\nShe is the author of several articles\, including “Dissertating While Parenting: Not a Contradiction;” “Academia as Violence\,” in the 2020 second edition of Presumed Incompetent: Race\, Class\, Power\, and Resistance of Women in Academia; and an article in Faculty Focus\, “A Call to Interrogate Educational Development for Racism and Colonization.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulie McGurk\, Ph.D.\, is currently the Director of Faculty Teaching Initiatives\, Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning at Yale University\, where she consults with faculty and runs various teaching workshops in collaboration with the rest of the Faculty Teaching Initiatives team. She is a Neuroscientist by training\, with a B.S. from the University of Pittsburgh and a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. As a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania\, Julie taught at Rutgers-Camden through the PennPORT program\, a program dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion in STEM through teaching. Julie then worked at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Teaching and Learning for 9 years\, where she taught large lecture\, small active learning\, and online courses.
