SUMMARY:Preparing Your 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 Thursday\, January 15th at 10-11:30pm Gulf / 1-2:30pm Eastern / 12-1:30pm Central / 11am-12:30pm Arizona / 10-11:30am Pacific. \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**At capacity and closed for registration as of Thursday\, January 1st** \nThis course/workshop is at capacity and registration is closed. CIRTL’s self-paced teaching and learning courses are open for learning at any time\, on your own schedule. And CIRTL’s professional development event series\, taking place online on Thursdays starting January 22\, is uncapped and open for registration. \nRegistration 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 Zoe Zuleger (zmzuleger@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 2: Connect with community to enhance teaching.

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 Wednesday\, January 21st at 8-10pm Gulf / 11am-1pm Eastern / 10am-12pm Central / 9-11am Arizona / 8-10am Pacific. \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**At capacity and closed for registration as of Monday\, January 5th** \nThis course/workshop is at capacity and registration is closed.
