SUMMARY:Mindset to Mastery: The Inclusive Teaching Course
DESCRIPTION:Across higher education\, there is recognition of the growing need for fostering more inclusive classrooms and learning environments. As educators across diverse disciplines\, how can we prioritize diversity\, equity\, and justice in our pedagogical approaches? What behaviors will help to translate this commitment into action? \nThis course employs experiential learning methods to explore foundational frameworks and the social and historical contexts that underpin this critical work. Participants will engage in an introspective journey\, examining their own identities\, values\, and experiences to cultivate an inclusive mindset that informs their teaching practices. Rather than presenting prescriptive strategies\, this course aims to provide perspectives for navigating the complexities of oppression\, equity\, and justice within academic settings. \nSessions will feature brief didactic introductions to key concepts\, complemented by reflective exercises\, practical applications\, and communication activities. The course culminates with a panel discussion led by practitioners in inclusive teaching practices within higher education\, followed by a written final reflection and peer discussion on how participants plan to integrate their newfound knowledge into their professional journeys. \nBy the course’s end\, participants will possess a clearer understanding of how to communicate their values of diversity\, equity\, and justice\, along with practical resources for implementing DEIJ frameworks and teaching strategies within their academic communities. \nCourse Schedule\nThis 8-week course meets online on Thursdays from January 30 to March 20 at 8-9:30pm Gulf / 12-1:30pm Atlantic / 11am-12:30pm Eastern / 10-11:30am Central / 9-10:30am Mountain / 8-9:30am Pacific. \nAudience\nThis seminar is designed first and foremost for graduate students and  postdoctoral researchers interested in an intensive introduction to inclusive teaching\, but generally relevant to anyone interested in learning more about this topic. \nRegistration and Enrollment\n**At capacity and closed for registration as of Tuesday\, January 14** \nThis course has a cap of 25 students. Registration is open from Monday\, January 13 at 9pm Gulf / 1pm Atlantic / 12pm Eastern / 11am Central / 10am Mountain / 9am Pacific\, until capacity is reached. We expect this course to reach capacity within 1-2 days.

SUMMARY:Planning Your Teaching-as-Research Project
DESCRIPTION:Jumpstart your plans for a Teaching-as-Research (TAR) project in this 6-week flipped course designed to guide participants through developing a research question\, identifying project methods and outcomes\, and more. Each week\, students will watch videos\, read articles\, and complete assignments on their own time; in weekly sessions\, students will refine their work with peer review\, work through sticking points with instructors\, and build community to sustain their work. Throughout the course\, students will also be expected to meet occasionally with a local TAR contact (typically the person at your CIRTL member institution who mentors TAR students and/or runs your institution’s TAR program) to refine key components of your TAR project plan. By the end of the course\, students will present a TAR project plan and be well-positioned to implement their project in the coming academic year. \nWhat is Teaching-as-Research?\nTeaching-as-Research (TAR) takes a deliberate and systematic approach towards investigating\, reflecting on\, and improving one’s own teaching. The TAR process follows an inquiry cycle that consists of the following stages: identifying of a challenge within the context of teaching and learning\, delving into the relevant scientific literature\, designing a project to elucidate why the challenge occurs or designing a teaching intervention to address the challenge\, implementing the project\, collecting data\, analyzing the data\, drawing conclusions\, and reflecting on the experience. TAR is a proactive and dynamic approach towards improving your teaching and document your teaching effectiveness. A TAR experience will provide a substantial example of your reflective\, professional practice applicable to a range of career outcomes. \nInstructors\nBrian Rybarczyk\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\nJoshua Abreu\, Yale University \nCourse Schedule\nThis 6-week course has weekly online sessions on Wednesdays at 7-8:30pm Gulf / 12-1:30pm Atlantic / 11am-12:30pm Eastern / 10-11:30am Central / 9-10:30am Mountain / 8-9:30am Pacific/Arizona from June 18 to July 23. \nWorkload\nYour instructors estimate students will need to spend 6-8 hours per week on work outside of class sessions including: watching videos\, reading articles\, completing assignments\, meeting with your local TAR contact\, and reviewing peer group work so that you can provide in-session feedback. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nThis course is limited to 25 students. Registration is open now and will close on Monday\, June 2. All applications will be reviewed after June 2\, and enrollment will be based on eligibility. This course builds on a foundational understanding of teaching and learning\, and interested participants will need to share their teaching and/or teaching development experience in a brief course application.

SUMMARY:Shared Voices\, Shared Decisions: Sociocracy for Educators and Leaders in Higher Ed
DESCRIPTION:University structure/governance varies little across the world and has changed little in basic form across time. It is\, at its essence\, deeply colonial and Western\, characterized by a hierarchical distribution of power. However\, as the world changes rapidly around us\, there is a growing need to authentically include the diverse voices of stakeholders (i.e.\, staff and students) in the decisions that affect their work\, learning\, and wellbeing. This course presents a shared governance model\, “Sociocracy”\, that stresses inclusion and deliberate attention to power dynamics. Based on consent and not consensus\, sociocracy operates at scales from small groups to entire organizations. Participants will explore connections among governance/decision-making\, power structures\, and participatory equity in higher education. They will explore sociocracy as a model for fostering shared decision-making in classrooms\, committees\, departments\, and other academic spaces\, and generate actionable plans to improve power dynamics and advance equity and inclusion in their own contexts.
