Mid-semester check-ins are a useful way for teachers to course-correct at a point where it can make a difference in student learning. Thomas Preston, our colleague from the German Department, is back one last time with his workshop on taking these mid-semester checks to a new level: collegial mid-course reviews. In this lunchtime session, we will introduce you to the process of conducting a brief, collegial mid-course review with a faculty partner, dispel common feedback anxieties, discuss the program’s value, and begin planning visits for faculty pairs this semester.

In this hands-on session, discover how AI can help you design in-class exercises, from crafting discussion prompts to creating interactive case studies. Learn practical techniques for using AI to generate creative activity variations, develop scaffolded learning experiences, and adapt materials into different modalities. You’ll leave with concrete examples and experience using AI to support creating your own classroom activities.

Please register here by Monday 2/24.

The lunchtime session will celebrate the winner and nominees of this last year’s Inclusive Design for Learning Award, sponsored by AGDAI and the CTLR. Students, staff, and faculty submitted nominations for this teaching prize last Fall, and from that pool of talented faculty, the selection committee chose Olga Parshina as the winner of the award.

With the arrival of a new presidential administration in Washington DC, many of us are wondering where discussions of current political/policy changes might come up in our interactions with students and what to do in those conversations. How to talk about politics with students in this climate on our campus? Join us for this lunchtime session in the CTLR where you will hear from colleagues who are attuned to these concerns, trained in engaged listening, and ready to share their own thoughts, questions, and experiences about such potentially fraught interactions.
