SUMMARY:Leading with data: overcoming the data divides
DESCRIPTION:Data work is often thrust upon teams of people who already have a day job. Data teams are thrown together and data leaders have to overcome various data divides. This session will explore the evidence-based data literacy continuum that bridges these data divides. Data leaders will leave with a framework they can use to foster confidence and growth to empower their data teams. \n \nAfter participating in this workshop\, you will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the evidence-based data literacy continuum utilizing Bloom’s taxonomy\nRecognize where people are on the continuum\nHow to empower and support others in progressing along the continuum\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:New Insights & Directions for MIT First-Year Advising
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 20 years\, multiple stakeholders have identified and recommended improvements for first-year advising at MIT. More recently\, students who participated in the Designing the First Year Experience undergraduate class in the spring of 2018 identified advising as a key priority. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn response\, the Teaching + Learning Lab (TLL)\, the Office of the Vice Chancellor (OVC)\, and the Office of the First Year (OFY) collaborated to review past advising reports and studies and to implement a model focused on an advising network. This model was piloted last fall with a subset of the class of 2023. \nThis presentation will describe the reasons for the pilot and the accompanying study of the first-year advising experience from the perspectives of the faculty\, OFY staff\, and first-year students\, and the findings and recommendations for future implementation. \nPresenters: Melissa Barnett\, Lauren Pouchak\, Elizabeth Young

SUMMARY:Teaching in a Tense Political Climate
DESCRIPTION:How are you planning to communicate with your students before\, during\, and after the election? \n\n\n\nStudents’ ability to learn effectively is greatly affected by their social lives and emotional state\, both inside and outside the classroom. As we approach another tense and fraught election in the United States\, many students—regardless of their political leanings—feel anxious about the election and can feel frustrated and distracted when faculty act as though nothing momentous is going on.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop will provide tools and perspectives for faculty and instructors who feel that they need to say something about the election or current political landscape\, but are concerned with exposing their political opinion or excluding students whose political leanings may differ from their own. \n\n\n\nCharles Stewart\, Kenan Sahin Distinguished Professor of Political Science\, will explore ways instructors can discuss the election and related topics with students. You will then hear from Ray Feller & Jimmy Doan (DSL) on the impact of the election on students’ well-being and stress. This will be followed by a discussion with your colleagues from across the Institute on ways to support conversation and dialogue about the election and discuss specific\, actionable strategies for initiating and fostering productive discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommunicate awareness of and concern about the impact of the current political climate to support effective learning\, regardless of discipline.\nJustify why a conversation about tense political times is relevant in their course.\nBalance sharing their own experience and political commitments with a desire to include students with different political opinions\nDirect students to support resources when a tense political climate impacts their learning.\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters: Charles Stewart\, Ray Feller\, Jimmy Doan\, Janet Rankin\, Ben Hansberry

SUMMARY:Craft Your Teaching Philosophy Statement (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:The teaching philosophy statement is a required part of most academic job applications and is often required in the faculty tenure and promotion process. \nBy articulating your motivation for and perspective on teaching\, you can surface the underlying assumptions you have about teaching and learning—a critical step in developing your teaching skills. This workshop seeks to demystify this process by providing strategies and structured activities that you can use to craft your teaching philosophy statement. \nThis workshop is open to MIT students and postdocs only. In part 2 of this workshop\, you will have an opportunity to review your TPS with your peers. \nFacilitator: Ben Hansberry \n \n \n\n\nLearning Outcomes \n\n\n\n\nDescribe what a teaching philosophy statement is\n\n\n\nIdentify aspects of your teaching or personal experience and beliefs that could be a part of a teaching philosophy statement\n\n\n\nIdentify features of teaching philosophy statements that resonate with you\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
