SUMMARY:Exploring Teaching Careers at Research Universities with CIRTL Alumni
DESCRIPTION:Faculty members who primarily teach\, rather than do research\, have become increasingly important for delivering courses to STEM undergraduates. Learn about the teaching faculty career path and ask questions of CIRTL alumni who are junior teaching faculty in this online panel event. Panelists will discuss the rewards and challenges of these positions\, the opportunities for stability and advancement\, and how non-tenure line faculty live in a research department. This is the first event in our three-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nSpeakers\nDr. Corrine Monks (Higley)\, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences\, Michigan State University\nDr. Thomas Dombrowsky\, Clinical Associate Professor of Nursing\, University of Texas at Arlington\nDr. Brittany Miller\, Assistant Professor of Biology\, Hofstra University \nEvent Schedule\nThis online event meets on Tuesday\, April 1 at 8-9pm Gulf / 1-2pm Atlantic / 12-1pm Eastern / 11am-12pm Central / 10-11am Mountain / 9-10am Pacific. This is the first 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. \nREGISTER NOW \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are. Contact Kate Diamond (kdiamond3@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\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. \nProfessional Development\n\nIdentify skills and resources that help you navigate different career pathways

SUMMARY:Postdoc Teaching Practicum
DESCRIPTION:Work with an experienced instructor in your discipline to enhance your understanding and experience of teaching a university course in this 5-month mentorship program. During the mentorship program\, you will observe a mentor in their teaching\, teach guest lectures and receive feedback on your teaching\, discuss approaches to teaching with your mentors\, and engage in group discussions of teaching with other participants. Throughout the program\, you will also attend a series of synchronous sessions on teaching development topics\, like lesson planning; teaching portfolios; equity\, diversity & inclusion; and teaching-as-research. By the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nCreate a framework for how a typical university course operates\nArticulate how teaching and learning theories intersect with the practical requirements of a university course\nDesign university lessons which incorporate learner-centered lesson planning basics\, demonstrating the alignment of learning objectives\, learning activities and assessment techniques\nDevelop and refine a teaching portfolio using the evience of teaching effectiveness gathered throughout the internship\n\nThis course is part of CIRTL’s fall programming on evidence-based teaching fundamentals. \nInstructor\nNatalie Westwood\, University of British Columbia \nCourse Schedule\nThis 5-part mentorship program has synchronous sessions on Thursday\, December 5\, January 9\, February 6\, March 6\, and April 3 at 9-11pm Gulf / 2-4pm Atlantic / 1-3pm Eastern / 12-2pm Central / 11am-1pm Mountain / 10am-12pm Pacific (note that the course spans the 2024-2025 winter).
