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.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Teaching Track
DESCRIPTION:Application Period\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Program\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Inclusive Teaching Track is a sequence of two interactive workshops focused on cultivating equitable and welcoming classrooms where students from all backgrounds can thrive. Participants will practice reflecting on their own educational experiences and perspectives while learning effective strategies to be responsive to the diversity in their classrooms. By the end of the track\, participants will have a framework for promoting inclusive classroom dynamics and specific strategies to make classrooms more equitable in future teaching or education-related careers in higher education. \n\n\n\nThe application window will be open from 12:00 noon Friday\, Oct 14 through 11:59 pm Thursday\, Oct 20. Participants from previous workshop tracks are given priority. The remaining applications will be selected on a first-come\, first-served basis. Applications must be received by the deadline to be considered. \n\n\n\nVisit our page on Grad Teaching Development Tracks learn more. All workshops will be held in person.  \n\n\n\n\n\nWORKSHOP DATE & TIMEDESCRIPTIONWorkshop 1: Personal and Social Identities in the ClassroomDate: Thursday\, Nov 3\, 1:00-3:00 pmLocation: On campusWe will define inclusive teaching and use it to evaluate common approaches to teaching in our disciplines. We will learn about specific strategies to be responsive to the diversity in the classroom and to students’ learning experiences. We will practice skills in evaluating a teaching practice to promote more inclusive classroom dynamics and to consider how your own identities impact your perspectives on teaching.Workshop 2: Principles and Strategies in Inclusive TeachingDate: Thursday\, Nov 10\, 1:00-3:00 pmLocation: On campusWe 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\n\n\nFacilitator \n\n\n\nBen Hansberry\, Assistant Director for Graduate Student Teaching\, TLL  \n\n\n\n\n\nAPPLY
