Originally created with funding from the National Sciences Foundation and iteratively updated to reflect contemporary teaching and learning topics\, this course brings together faculty\, staff\, and other teaching and learning experts from across the United States to teach about: how to engage students in active learning in classrooms using strategies such as peer instruction and problem-based learning; developing methods to help your students think more like experts in their fields using inquiry-based labs and similar activities; turning your classrooms into learning communities through cooperative learning and using the diverse perspectives of your students; and using approaches like flipped classrooms that make it possible to build active and collaborative learning into your classes. Each module guides learners through lesson content\, discussion prompts for deeper reflection\, quizzes to reinforce key concepts\, and assignments to translate what you’re learning into your personal teaching context. \nMany CIRTL member institutions run cohort-based learning communities during the academic year around this course. If you are at a CIRTL member institution\, find your institution’s CIRTL program here and visit their website to see if they are offering a learning community for local future faculty. \nThis course builds on “An Introduction to Evidence-Based Undergraduate STEM Teaching”; the intro course is recommended\, but not required\, as a prerequisite for participating in this course. \nRegistration\nThis course is hosted on CIRTL’s Moodle site. To take this course\, you will need to access Moodle\, enroll in the course\, and then fill out a registration form to get access to course content: \n\nUse an existing account to log into Moodle if you have one. If you aren’t sure if you have an account\, or know you don’t\, you can create a new account instead.\nLog into your Moodle account and follow the instructions to enroll in this course.\nFill out the course registration form to tell us more about yourself and gain access to the course content.\n\nRegardless of how you plan to engage with this course – individually and self-paced\, as a participant in a local learning community\, or as a facilitator of a local learning community – you need to follow those steps to enroll and gain access to course content. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are.

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:Better Teaching Through Neurodiversity: Supporting Students’ Executive Functioning
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to apply the Universal Design for Learning framework to develop inclusive teaching practices that support executive functioning for all learners in this one-part workshop. Many times\, instructors fear that designing a neuroinclusive classroom is too difficult and may even come at the expense of some of their other students’ needs. In fact\, the opposite is often true: if we take the time to look carefully at their needs and reflect on our own teaching practices\, accommodating students with autism\, ADHD\, and other neurodivergent conditions can actually improve outcomes for every student. Through case study exploration and brainstorming around specific teaching materials\, participants will work with peers to add to their toolbox for neuroinclusive teaching. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nIdentify the principles of the neurodiversity paradigm and its application in learning\nExplain executive functioning and its relationship to neurodiversity\nExamine and resolve executive functioning pressure points in classroom situations\nRevise teaching practices to reflect executive functioning best practices\n\nInstructors\nTeresa Hooper\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\nRobert Jacobsen\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis one-session online workshop meets on Wednesday\, March 12 at 10pm-12am Gulf / 3-5pm Atlantic / 2-4pm Eastern / 1-3pm Central / 12-2pm Mountain / 11am-1pm Pacific. \nAudience\nThis workshop is designed for participants who either have some previous teaching/teaching development experience or are in the process of developing an upcoming course. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nREGISTER NOW \nThis workshop has no cap. Registration opens on Monday\, February 24. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are. Contact Zoe Zuleger (zmzuleger@wisc.edu)\, who is supporting this workshop\, to let us know how we can help you have a successful experience. In addition to meeting individualized needs\, we will also take measures throughout the workshop to support accessibility for all our students: \n\nSending pre-session reminders with upcoming assignments to all students\nSharing materials for synchronous sessions with students (slides\, activity instructions\, etc.)\nEnabling live captioning in synchronous sessions\nIncorporating multiple modes of interaction into synchronous sessions\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\nAll CIRTL Network programming is designed to help participants achieve familiarity with our Core Ideas. This workshop is designed around the following learning outcomes. \nAssociate: Evidence-based teaching\n\nDescribe and recognize the value of realistic well-defined\, achievable\, measurable and student-centered learning goals.\nDescribe several known high-impact\, evidence-based effective instructional practices and materials and recognize their alignment with particular types of learning goals.\n\nAssociate: Learning through diversity\n\nDescribe and recognize the value of drawing on diversity in the development of teaching plans (including content\, teaching practices and assessments) to foster learning.\nDescribe the impact of diversity on student learning\, in particular how diversity can enhance learning\, and how inequities can negatively impact learning if not addressed.\nDescribe the scope of diversity in learning environments\, of both students and instructor.
