SUMMARY:Application Period for the Spring 2024 Lesson Planning Track Opens April 1
DESCRIPTION:About the Program\n\n\n\nThe Lesson Planning Track is a sequence of 3 workshops focused on preparing an effective lesson plan for a class session or recitation\, developing skills for classroom presentation and effective classroom activities\, and giving formative feedback to students. Over the course of the workshop track\, participants develop a detailed lesson plan on a topic of their choice with feedback from the instructor.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Schedule\n\n\n\n\nFacilitating Learning\n\n\n\nMonday\, Apr 22\, from 10- 12 pm  \n\n\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the benefits of implementing ILO-aligned active learning strategies in the classroom.\n\n\n\nIdentify the specific benefits and challenges of implementing a particular active learning strategy\n\n\n\nDesign opportunities for practice that engage students cognitively and align with desired ILOs through the use of active learning strategies.\n\n\n\nReduce barriers to inclusion by intentionally using a variety of active learning techniques with attentiveness to implementation details.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning for Learning\n\n\n\nThursday\, Apr 25\, from 10- 13 pm \n\n\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the impact that prior content knowledge\, previously mastered skills\, and beliefs about learning have on how students learn  \n\n\n\nList some strategies to ascertain students’ prior knowledge\, skills\, and beliefs. \n\n\n\nUse scaffolding and an understanding of prior knowledge and skills to sketch an outline of a class session that includes active learning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEffective Feedback\n\n\n\nMonday\, Apr 29\, from 10- 12 pm  \n\n\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the characteristics of effective feedback. \n\n\n\nExplain how cultivating a growth mindset in your students can foster resilience and increase academic performance. \n\n\n\nProvide targeted and growth-oriented feedback.\n\n\n\n\n\nTo complete the track and receive a letter of completion\, participants must attend all three workshops and complete the required out-of-class work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Apply\n\n\n\nAny graduate student is welcome to apply. Participants from previous workshop tracks have priority. After that\, applicants are selected on a first-come\, first-served basis\, so please apply early. Applications must be received by 11:59 pm Sunday\, April 7\, to be considered.

SUMMARY:Creating a Classroom Climate that Supports Student Engagement in Active Learning
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sarah Eddy\, University of Minnesota\n\n\n\nActive learning classrooms ask students to engage with coursework differently than traditional classrooms. Not only do they ask students to invest more effort into directly engaging with the content\, they often require students to work collaboratively with their peers while learning. The risk “getting it wrong” in front of their peers can prevent some students from fully engaging in active learning classrooms. Instructors can generate student buy-in and foster students’ willingness to take risks through classroom climate. Classroom climate can be characterized by the values\, norms\, and relationships present in a course. In this talk\, we will explore the ways in which instructors can foster student engagement in active learning by emphasizing the relevance of content\, setting norms that encourage mastery goals and peer cooperation\, and developing high-quality instructor-student relationships. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Sarah Eddy is Associate Professor of Biology Teaching and Learning in the College of Biological Sciences at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. They received a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Purdue University and a Ph.D. in Zoology from Oregon State University. Sarah completed a postdoctoral scholarship in biology education at the University of Washington. Trained as a behavioral ecologist\, Sarah has shifted from studying behavior in a field setting to behavior in college classrooms. Their lab engages in rigorous research to generate data and resources that support science instructors in creating content and course climates that promote student belonging\, motivation\, and a sense that their unique backgrounds and experiences are a strength within science. In addition to scholarly publications\, Sarah’s work has been featured in the New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Science\, and Insight into Diversity.
