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. \nInstructors\nApril Dukes\, University of Pittsburgh\nMartina Rosenberg\, University of Connecticut\nJordan Vinikoor\, University of Connecticut \nCourse Schedule\nThis 8-week course meets online on Tuesdays from March 5 to April 23 at 2-3:30PM Atlantic / 1-2:30PM Eastern / 12-1:30PM Central / 11AM-12:30PM Mountain / 10-11:30AM 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* 1/31 Update: This course is at capacity and closed for registration. * \nThis course has a cap of 25 students. Registration is open from Monday\, January 29 at 1pm Atlantic Time / 12pm Eastern / 11am Central / 10am Mountain / 9am Pacific\, until capacity is reached. We expect this course to reach capacity within 1-2 days. 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.

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. \nInstructors\nApril Dukes\, University of Pittsburgh\nMartina Rosenberg\, University of Connecticut\nJordan Vinikoor\, University of Connecticut \nCourse Schedule\nThis 8-week course meets online on Tuesdays from March 5 to April 23 at 2-3:30PM Atlantic / 1-2:30PM Eastern / 12-1:30PM Central / 11AM-12:30PM Mountain / 10-11:30AM 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* 1/31 Update: This course is at capacity and closed for registration. * \nThis course has a cap of 25 students. Registration is open from Monday\, January 29 at 1pm Atlantic Time / 12pm Eastern / 11am Central / 10am Mountain / 9am Pacific\, until capacity is reached. We expect this course to reach capacity within 1-2 days. 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 Kate Diamond (kdiamond3@wisc.edu)\, who is supporting this course\, 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\nUsing alt-text on images in reading materials\nSending weekly reminders with upcoming assignments to all students\nSending weekly reminders with missing assignments to students who have late work\nSharing materials for synchronous sessions with students via Moodle (slides\, breakout group activity instructions\, etc.)\nEnabling live captioning in synchronous sessions\nIncorporating multiple modes of interaction into synchronous sessions\nSharing recordings from synchronous sessions\nAllowing students to make up absences and submit work late with no penalty\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\nAll CIRTL Network programming is designed to help participants achieve familiarity with our Core Ideas. This seminar is designed around the following learning outcomes. \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 how an instructor’s beliefs and biases can influence student 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.\nDescribe several learning-through-diversity (LtD) techniques and strategies.

SUMMARY:Exploring Careers Outside of Academia with CIRTL Alumni
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nMore PhDs are employed by the government and companies than universities. Is it just research skills that got them these jobs? Many non-academic organizations rely on a staff that supports education in house\, personnel development\, or outreach\, but teaching preparation may assist with many types of jobs in government and industry. Learn what some of these professions are like and ask questions of CIRTL alumni in the public and private sectors in this online panel event. Panelists will talk about their specific careers\, how they got where they’re at\, and how these careers build on their interests in STEM and teaching. This is the fourth and final event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nSpeakers\nWalter Yerk\, Director of Education and Outreach\, Center for Urban Watershed Education\nJames Schwabacher\, Senior Consultant\, Beghou Consulting\nDeb Rook\, Deputy Director\, Bioquest Curriculum Consortium \nEvent Schedule\nThis online event meets on Wednesday\, April 24 at 2-3pm Atlantic / 1-2pm Eastern / 12-1pm Central / 11am-12pm Mountain / 10-11am Pacific. This is the fourth and final event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nAudience\nThis event is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in STEM/SBE disciplines exploring potential career paths\, but generally relevant to anyone interested in understanding career trajectories within academia and beyond. \nRegistration\nNo cap.
