Spring brings abundant flowers, fuzzy goslings, longer days, and a chance to look at things a bit differently as we emerge from our winter cocoons. In that spirit of spring, we invite you to explore the upcoming April offerings at the Faculty Hub. Learn from other faculty at the Celebration of Teaching. Consider a new opportunity like the Inclusive Pedagogy Partnership Program (IP3). Think ahead to the effect the 2024 elections will have on your classroom. Get inspired (or at least do some grading) at one of our upcoming Writing and Grading Retreats. Explore various AI topics at one of the three AI talks on campus this month, including one this afternoon on AI & Ethics. And if you check out Andrew's blog, you *might* get to see a photo of him at a Weezer show in 2001. |

Calls for Applications: IP Cohort and IP3
|
|
|
|
|
It only happens once a year: our two signature inclusive pedagogy cohorts are accepting applications for AY 2024-25.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inclusive Pedagogy Cohort
An academic initiative since 2018, the Inclusive Pedagogy Cohort functions as a learning community, bringing together faculty and instructional staff from all five schools and many disciplines to deepen individual and collective knowledge of inclusive pedagogies. In AY 24-25, the Inclusive Pedagogy Cohort will take place over the fall semester with the option to continue in the spring; the Cohort will be co-facilitated by Kylie Korsnack, Assistant Director, Faculty Hub, and Kitty Maynard, Director, Faculty Hub. |
|
|
|
|
Inclusive Pedagogy Partnership Program (IP3)
The Faculty Hub invites applications for the fall cohort o f the Inclusive Pedagogy Partnership Program (IP3). The IP3 program pairs students and faculty (or instructional staff) together for a semester-long partnership focused on the implementation of principles of inclusive pedagogy. Student and faculty partners identify a specific focus for their work together, and then student partners regularly observe, provide feedback, and serve as thinking partners for the faculty members, helping them to reflect on, refine, and enhance their inclusive teaching practices. If you have questions about the application process or the work of either program, please contact Kylie Korsnack in the Faculty Hub. |
