Peer Reviewer Development series
June 7, 8, and 9
9:30-11:00 a.m. EST
Zoom
Teaching observations benefit instructors: a peer observer can help faculty achieve their teaching goals by illuminating how particular teaching and learning practices are working and guiding peers to consider next steps in continuous improvement. Also teaching observation reports are often part of award and promotion processes. Observing someone’s teaching is like other skills we have—it takes dedicated practice and time.
This workshop series develops those skills in peer review of teaching, and captioning is provided. The first 15 participants who participate in the workshop (3 sessions) and agree to work with the CTLE as peer reviewers for faculty who seek peer review assessments for a Meredith Professorship nomination packet are eligible for a $1,000 stipend. (Note that the application for the Meredith Professorship does require a peer review of teaching from someone who has worked with the CTLE on developing their peer review skills). Sign up below for this three-part series.
Course (re)Design Institute with Dr. Mary-Ann Winkelmes
June 13-16, 2022
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EST each day
Join colleagues, student consultants, and Dr. Mary-Ann Winkelmes (Director, TILT Higher Ed) in this highly interactive, hands-on opportunity. Each morning, we’ll consider a practical, evidence-based design strategy to make courses more accessible, relevant, and motivating for students. After discussing an example of what that strategy looks like in practice, you’ll apply it to revising an existing course and syllabus, or designing a new one. We’ll adopt a collegial and supportive facilitated process that incorporates individual work and real-time peer feedback in pairs and small groups. You’ll leave the institute with a course and syllabus that are (re)designed to support students’ learning, incorporate shared competencies, and to advance your own teaching success.
- Monday: Transparent, Equitable Instruction
- Tuesday: Scaffolding Skill Development in Your Course
- Wednesday: Raising Students’ Metacognitive Awareness of Skill Development
- Thursday: Representation and Diversity in your Discipline and in Your Syllabus; Accessibility of Materials
The first 30 to register and attend all four sessions will receive a $1000 stipend.
