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. \nCourse Schedule\nThis 8-week course meets online on Thursdays from January 30 to March 20 at 8-9:30pm Gulf / 12-1:30pm Atlantic / 11am-12:30pm Eastern / 10-11:30am Central / 9-10:30am Mountain / 8-9:30am 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**At capacity and closed for registration as of Tuesday\, January 14** \nThis course has a cap of 25 students. Registration is open from Monday\, January 13 at 9pm Gulf / 1pm Atlantic / 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:Change Leadership for Inclusive Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:This intensive\, 5-week online course aims to strengthen undergraduate STEM education by preparing graduate students\, postdoctoral scholars\, and early career-faculty to be change agents in their roles in higher education. Through participation in this course\, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to inspire and influence others\, analyze their institution’s structure and become agents of change. By the end of this course\, participants will: \n\nDevelop a professional identity as a Change Agent\nExamine higher education institutions as complex organizations\, as well as analyzing leadership approaches and change theories\nDevelop strategies\, skills\, and abilities appropriate for serving as a Change Agent while holding a position as an early-career faculty member\n\nInstructors\nKelly Clark\, Johns Hopkins University\nRachel Kennison\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nL.J. McElravy\, University of Nebraska – Lincoln \nCourse Schedule\nThis 10-session\, 5-week course meets online on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 11 through July 18 at  3-4:30pm Atlantic / 2-3:30pm Eastern / 1-2:30pm Central / 12-1:30pm Mountain / 11am-12:30pm Pacific. There is no class the week of July 1. \nWorkload\nStudents should plan to spend several hours working through asynchronous materials outside of sessions each week. \nRegistration & Enrollment\nThis course has a cap of 40 students. \nRegistration is opens on Monday\, April 22\, and closes Monday\, May 20. This course builds on a foundational understanding of evidence based teaching\, and interested participants will need to share their teaching and/or teaching development experience in a brief course application. Instructors will review applications 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\nSending weekly reminders with upcoming assignments to all students\nSending reminders with missing assignments to students who have late work\nSharing materials for synchronous sessions with students via Canvas (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\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\nThis course will form the initial engagement pathway for participants to achieve the foundational learning outcomes of the CIRTL Change Leadership Development Program. This course requires participants to have achieved at least the CIRTL Associate level. In terms of Bloom’s Taxonomy the course is analogous to a CIRTL Associate level of learning. Participants who complete this course will be able to describe evidence-based leadership practices\nThose who complete this course will be able to describe evidence-based leadership practices for change. This course supports developing a leadership identity\, examining organizational features that are characteristic of higher education institutions\, and exploring theories of change and leadership that will support participants’ ability to engage in systemic change focused on inclusive teaching and learning. These aims are based on conversations with the CIRTL  network over the past several years.
