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:Crafting your digital teaching portfolio
DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop will be facilitated by the Teaching + Learning Lab (TLL) in partnership with Adobe Education.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\nArticulate and develop the professional narrative you want to convey.Create a dynamic website that hosts your digital teaching portfolio using Adobe Spark.Create a video introduction of yourself as an educator.Understand best practices for capturing your “headshot” photo.Leverage your professional assets\, digital teaching portfolio\, and professional online profiles to effectively curate your online presence as an educator.\n\n\n\nPlease register below to receive your Zoom link. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nYour professional identity is being built online\, with or without your deliberate input. This digital version of you\, or your “digital persona\,” can significantly impact your academic career and teaching.  \n\n\n\nYour digital persona is the aggregate of all the information available about you online — forming the reputation that will often precede your direct interactions with your future students\, colleagues\, collaborators\, hiring committees\, funders\, conference organizers\, and so on. \n\n\n\nFor educators\, a digital teaching portfolio can serve as an effective hub for your online presence\, not only helping to clarify who you are as an educator\, but also serving you in establishing your credibility\, building relationships\, and adding value for your intended audiences.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 1: Assembling your professional narrative\n\n\n\nThis workshop will begin with a brief overview of the key elements of an effective digital teaching portfolio. We will also explore the research on how your digital persona can impact your effectiveness as an educator.  \n\n\n\nFollowing a brief Q&A with workshop facilitators\, you will then have an opportunity to assess and begin workshopping your own professional narrative\, forming an actionable plan that will guide part 2 of this workshop.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: Developing your teaching portfolio & assets\n\n\n\nThe hands-on section of this workshop will be led by our Adobe Education partners: veteran creative professional Stephen Hart and Eliason Distinguished Professor Todd Taylor.  \n\n\n\nYou will be guided in creating your online teaching portfolio using Adobe Spark. We will also review other key professional assets you may wish to include in your portfolio\, including how to create a video introduction using Adobe Premiere Rush\, best practice for capturing a headshot/profile photo\, and where to find resources and tutorials for creating other common assets\, such as infographics\, logos\, etc.\, adding professional assets such as your teaching philosophy statement\, which you can learn more about on our website or by attending the next workshop in this series\, Crafting your teaching philosophy statement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n\nRyan MacDowell\, Communications & Operations Officer\, TLL \n\n\n\nStephen Hart\, Adobe Education \n\n\n\nTodd Taylor\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill & Adobe Education \n\n\n\nPlease note: This workshop is open to MIT students and postdocs only.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Sessions \n\n\n\nThis session is part of a 3 workshop series to help you prepare for the faculty job market. Future sessions include: \n\n\n\nCrafting your teaching philosophy statement on Tuesday\, April 27 @ 2:00 – 3:00 pm \n\n\n\nTeaching portfolio peer review on Thursday\, May 6 @ 3:00 – 4:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Crafting your teaching philosophy statement
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. \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will be able to  \n\n\n\nDescribe what a teaching philosophy statement isIdentify aspects of your teaching or personal experience and beliefs that could be a part of a teaching philosophy statementIdentify features of teaching philosophy statements that resonate with you\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register to receive your Zoom link. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitator \n\n\n\nBen Hansberry\, Assistant Director for Graduate Student Teaching\, TLL  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: This workshop is open to MIT students and postdocs only.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Sessions \n\n\n\nThis session is part of a 3 workshop series to help you prepare for the faculty job market.

SUMMARY:Meaning-Makers: cultivating growth mindset environments
DESCRIPTION:Learn how educators can cultivate growth mindset environments to support student learning and belonging \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Canning will discuss her recent research on cultivating growth mindset cultures in the classroom—the idea that anyone can develop their ability and talent over time with effective strategies\, deliberate practice\, and adequate support.  \n\n\n\nThree empirical studies suggest that growth mindset messages from faculty positively impact student motivation and promote performance for underrepresented groups\, such as racial minorities\, women in STEM\, and first-generation college students. Discussion will center on evidence-based\, practical strategies that instructors can implement to reduce opportunity gaps and inclusively support their students. \n\n\n\nYou will be able to post your questions throughout this session and have them addressed in a Q&A following the presentation. \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\nElizabeth Canning\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nDr. Elizabeth Canning earned her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is now an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at Washington State University. Her research centers on student motivation and investigates the subtle interpersonal and environmental messages that perpetuate bias and inequality. Her approach includes controlled laboratory experiments\, randomized intervention studies\, and longitudinal field studies. Dr. Canning’s research has been featured in various news outlets\, including ABC News\, Business Insider\, Inside Higher Ed\, and the Chronicle of Higher Education.
