Events

This event is part of the Teaching Enrichment Series.

New teaching assistants from all campuses are welcome and invited to this interactive virtual workshop. You will be introduced to University resources for teaching, and will reflect on and discuss teaching strategies, roles, and responsibilities. You will also be introduced to key policies around FERPA, working with students with disabilities, and responsibilities in reporting Title IX violations, among others. All participants will learn from each other by talking through responses to potential challenging moments in the classroom.

Interested in learning about and discussing alternative forms of grading that promote learning and engagement with UMN colleagues? The Alternative Grading Community of Practice is hosting a book study on Clark and Talbert's Grading for Growth. In fall, participants will read and discuss early chapters focused on the rationale, framework, and examples of alternative grading. In spring, those opting to continue will dive into a workbook chapter with step-by-step implementation guidance.

Join us for discussion on critical thinking about the pros and cons of AI in education. Co-facilitators will share and summarize articles that pose critical, and often unanswered, questions about the roles and uses of AI. Possible topics include: asking the "right questions," exploring disciplinary perspectives on the future of teaching, delineating human intelligence, creating a culture that values learning, and reimagining classroom practices in light of AI. Anyone at UMN with a teaching role is invited. This group is for those who seek to reflect on and discuss with others some of the thorny issues surrounding AI in teaching and learning.
