SUMMARY:Preparing a Teaching Demo for a Job Interview
DESCRIPTION:As part of the interview process for a faculty position\, you may be asked to lead a teaching demonstration. In this interactive workshop\, we’ll discuss ways to go into your teaching demo with preparedness\, confidence\, and adaptability. Participants will explore considerations related to their audience\, factors affecting content\, logistics (including technology)\, and teaching/learning interactions. Participants will also strategize ways to cope with unexpected challenges that could emerge during a teaching demo. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nIdentify questions and decision points useful in preparing a teaching demo for a job interview.\nStrategize ways to gather the information needed to effectively plan a teaching demo.\nGenerate strategies for dealing effectively with challenging situations that might emerge during a demo (e.g.\, logistical\, technological\, or interpersonal).\n\nInstructors\nChas Brua\, Pennsylvania State University\nBeate Brunow\, Pennsylvania State University \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis one-session online workshop meets in Zoom on Monday\, October 6th at 8-9:30pm Gulf / 12-1:30pm Eastern / 11am-12:30pm Central / 9-10:30am Pacific/Arizona. \nAudience\nThis workshop is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in STEM/SBE disciplines\, but generally relevant to anyone interested in an introduction to teaching demonstrations. \nRegistration and Enrollment\n***Registration is closed as of 9/22*** \nCap: 60. Registration is now open and will close once capacity is reached. Registration will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis and 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 David Larson (dlarson23@wisc.edu) 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 to all students\nSharing resources from synchronous sessions with students\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 introductory level: \n\nGoal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.

SUMMARY:Writing an Effective Teaching Philosophy Statement (October)
DESCRIPTION:Learn what a teaching philosophy statement is and how they are used in the academic job hunt\, and explore your own teaching philosophy in a writing group of peers in this interactive\, two-part online workshop. We will discuss elements of teaching statements\, evidence of effective teaching tailored for different academic jobs\, and strategies to get started or polish existing teaching statements. Participants from all disciplines will become better equipped and prepared to communicate their teaching practice through this workshop’s small group writing and feedback process. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand common components of a teaching philosophy statement\nIdentify their own teaching accomplishments\, beliefs\, and goals\nDraft a teaching philosophy statement\nRefine their work through peer review feedback\n\nInstructors\nKristin Winet\, University of Arizona\nErin Galyen\, University of Arizona \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis workshop meets in Zoom on Tuesday\, October 7 and 14 at 8-9:30pm Gulf / 12-1:30pm Eastern / 11am-12:30pm Central / 9-10:30am Pacific/Arizona. \nAudience\nThis workshop is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in STEM/SBE disciplines\, but generally relevant to anyone looking to develop or refine their teaching statement. \nRegistration & Enrollment\n**At capacity and closed for registration as of Wednesday\, September 24th** \nCap: 50. Enrollment will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis; registrants who are from CIRTL member institutions or CIRTL alumni will receive priority. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are.

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. By the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify relationships\, power structures\, and/or gaps in participatory equity in governance at their home institution.\nDefine\, explain\, and justify the use of Sociocracy as a viable governance model at multiple levels or scales.\nExplain the significance of sociocratic structures and processes.\nDesign sociocratic structures at levels or scales relevant to their local contexts.\n\nThe course will also prepare participants to apply practical strategies that foster more equitable\, inclusive\, and participatory forms of leadership. These approaches are adaptable to a wide range of settings and contexts. Participants will learn how to: \n\nStructure and facilitate meetings effectively.\nEngage students as active partners in course design and learning.\nIncorporate regular feedback loops to improve processes\, strengthen decision-making\, and enhance collaborative projects.\n\nInstructors\nTeri Balser\, University of Calgary\nKelly Clark\, Johns Hopkins University \nCourse Schedule\nThis course meets online in Zoom on Wednesdays\, October 15 through November 19 at 8-10pm Gulf / 12-2pm Eastern / 11am-1pm Central / 9-11am Pacific/Arizona. \n**After November 2nd\, course meets at 9-11pm Gulf / 10am-12pm Arizona** \nAudience\nThis course is intended for a broad range of participants at all career stages\, including faculty and staff\, CIRTL leadership\, postdocs\, or senior level graduate students that are interested in applying the Sociocracy model in classrooms\, committees\, departments\, and higher. \nRegistration and Enrollment\n**Registration closed as of Tuesday\, October 14th** \nCap: 50. Registration will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis and 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.
