SUMMARY:Pedagogies of Care: Accessible Teaching\, Systemic Barriers\, & Care in Your Discipline
DESCRIPTION:How can educators sustain care for themselves and their students amid growing institutional pressures\, shifting technologies\, and increasing demands on their time and attention? In this workshop\, participants will reflect on what care looks like in their classrooms\, what gets in the way of practicing it\, and how their disciplines shape (or neglect) its meaning. Through open discussion and reflective activities\, participants will examine tensions between institutional expectations and inclusive teaching values\, explore systemic barriers that reproduce harm or hinder access\, trace the ethical and cultural lineages that inform their pedagogical approaches\, and imagine practices of care that foster more just\, accessible\, and sustainable teaching and learning environments. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nReflect on how care\, identity\, access\, and classroom climate shape their teaching and learning environments\nIdentify institutional and systemic factors that support or constrain care-centered and inclusive pedagogical practices\nAnalyze how disciplinary traditions and cultural lineages inform approaches to care in teaching and learning\nArticulate a preliminary “Pedagogy of Care” commitment or set of guiding practices to inform future course design and classroom engagement\n\nInstructors\nKelsey Reeder\, Columbia University \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis one-session online workshop meets in Zoom on Tuesday\, June 9th at 7-9pm Gulf / 11am-1pm Eastern / 10am-12pm Central / 8-10am Pacific/Arizona. \nAudience\nThis session is designed for educators with some teaching experience who have already begun reflecting on their teaching practice. Participants will get the most out of the sessions if they have prior exposure to concepts such as inclusive teaching\, course design\, or classroom climate\, whether through formal workshops or their own pedagogical reflection and experimentation. \nRegistration and Enrollment\n**Registration closed as of Wednesday\, May 27th** \nRegistration opens on Tuesday\, May 26th at 10am CT. Cap: 25. Registration will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis. Registrants from CIRTL member institutions or alumni of CIRTL member institutions will receive priority. Once registration closes\, all registrants will be notified of their enrollment status. \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\nAbout CIRTL Programming\nCIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order\, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming\, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals; within those goals\, programming might provide participants with an introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced learning experience. \nThis course supports the following CIRTL learning goals at an intermediate level: \n\nGoal 1: Develop evidence-based teaching knowledge. See more Goal 1 programming.\nGoal 2: Connect with community to enhance teaching. See more Goal 2 programming.\nGoal 3: Cultivate teaching skills through reflective improvement. See more Goal 3 programming.\nGoal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.

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\nSophia Abbott\, The University of Rhode Island\nJessica Maher\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \nCourse Schedule\nThis 6-week course has weekly online sessions on Tuesdays at 7-8:30pm Gulf / 11am-12:30pm Eastern / 10-11:30am Central / 8-9:30am Pacific/Arizona from June 16th to July 21st. \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 closed. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are. Contact David Larson (dlarson23@wisc.edu) to let us know how we can help you have a successful experience. \n\nAbout CIRTL Programming\nCIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:UDL + AI Design Studio
DESCRIPTION:The UDL + AI Design Studio is a six-week redesign studio where instructors improve one real teaching challenge using Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—a widely recognized\, research-grounded framework for designing learning experiences. While UDL is highly respected in higher education\, it is often presented as a complex set of principles and strategies; this studio reframes it as a simple\, practical WHY–WHAT–HOW design cycle that makes redesign manageable and actionable. AI functions as a design partner\, helping instructors apply UDL more efficiently to refine activities and assessments with clarity and precision. By the end of this short course\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nAnalyze a specific teaching challenge using baseline evidence to identify where students struggle and what factors are contributing to the problem\nApply the UDL Learning Design Cycle (WHY → WHAT → HOW)\, using AI as a design assistant to generate\, refine\, and stress-test UDL-informed design moves efficiently\nCreate a cohesive UDL + AI redesign package that strengthens student engagement\, improves content clarity or access\, and supports meaningful performance\nEvaluate the redesign by developing a feasible implementation and evidence plan that identifies indicators of impact and next steps for refinement.\n\nInstructors\nV. Blue Lemay\, Binghamton University\nKimberly Elsener\, Binghamton University\nChris Cain\, Mars Hill University \nCourse Schedule\nThis 6-week short course meets in Zoom on Fridays at 7-8pm Gulf / 11am-12pm Eastern / 10-11am Central / 8-9am Pacific/Arizona from June 26 to July 31. \nAudience\nThis studio is designed for CIRTL participants who are currently teaching or supporting teaching in higher education (or expect to teach in the next academic term)\, including graduate students\, postdocs\, and early-career faculty. Participants should: \n\nHave access to a real teaching context and be able to select one “teaching artifact” to redesign (e.g.\, an assignment\, discussion activity\, lesson plan\, etc.)\nHave access to an AI tool (institution-approved\, if applicable) and have familiarity using it for general idea generation\nCome with an open\, learning-oriented mindset—prepared to experiment with AI as a support for instructional design rather than avoiding it altogether\n\nNo prior UDL training or advanced instructional design experience is required. \nWorkload\nParticipants should plan to spend approximately 90 minutes per week on asynchronous work\, including short readings/videos\, drafting components of their redesign\, discussion participation\, and peer feedback. Total estimated time commitment: 2–2.5 hours per week (live session + asynchronous work). \nRegistration and Enrollment\n**At capacity and closed for registration as of Monday\, June 8th** \nRegistration opens on Monday\, June 8th at 10am CT. Cap: 15. Registration will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis. Registrants from CIRTL member institutions or alumni of CIRTL member institutions will receive priority. Once registration closes\, all registrants will be notified of their enrollment status. \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 course 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\nAbout CIRTL Programming\nCIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order\, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming\, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals; within those goals\, programming might provide participants with an introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced learning experience. \nThis institute supports the following CIRTL learning goals at an intermediate/advanced level: \n\nGoal 1: Develop evidence-based teaching knowledge. See more Goal 1 programming.\nGoal 2: Connect with community to enhance teaching. See more Goal 2 programming.\nGoal 3: Cultivate teaching skills through reflective improvement. See more Goal 3 programming.\nGoal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.

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\nSophia Abbott\, The University of Rhode Island\nJessica Maher\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \nCourse Schedule\nThis 6-week course has weekly online sessions on Tuesdays at 7-8:30pm Gulf / 11am-12:30pm Eastern / 10-11:30am Central / 8-9:30am Pacific/Arizona from June 16th to July 21st. \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 closed. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are.
