Past Events

In this workshop, UT Nutrition students will reflect on their community-based internship experiences in NTR 365, and participants will brainstorm ways to foster professional development, community service, and experiential learning in their courses. Come and discover how to 'think oUTside the classroom'.

The recipients of last year’s Undergraduate Teaching Grants would like to share their stories of their journey implementing an innovation based on one of the Principles of Effective Teaching. They are willing share their success and challenges with you and help you include some of their ideas into your courses. Join us on Fridays to finish the week on an upbeat note.

A discussion of Assessment in Creative Disciplines: Quantifying and Qualifying the Aesthetic (David Chase, J. Joseph Hoey IV and Jill L. Ferguson))

In their courses, TAs and AIs have an opportunity to create an inclusive environment and foster meaningful participation in the classroom since students often feel more comfortable communicating with them. During this 90-minute session, you will learn about how to work with students with disabilities in your role as a TA or AI!

Spring Semester 2022 Book Discussion Group. We will be reading What Inclusive Instructors Do: Principles and Practices for Excellence in College Teaching by Tracie Marcella Addy, Derek Dube, Khadijah A. Mitchell, and Mallory E. SoRelle Stylus 2021.

In this workshop, participants will learn the basic outline of a lesson and practice creating these steps for their own teaching material: the objective, introduction, activity, wrap-up, and assessment. We will dwell on the “activity” stage to discuss scaffolding techniques. Finally, participants will brainstorm assessment methods to check if their lesson plans were successful. Instructors will leave with a useable lesson plan for their classrooms.

This event has been cancelled due to the campus closures on February 3-4, 2022.

Spring Semester 2022 Book Discussion Group. We will be reading What Inclusive Instructors Do: Principles and Practices for Excellence in College Teaching by Tracie Marcella Addy, Derek Dube, Khadijah A. Mitchell, and Mallory E. SoRelle Stylus 2021.

In this workshop we will explore some notable frameworks for inclusive teaching and learning. Participants will recognize that inclusivity in the classroom will go beyond the work done in this workshop, identify strategies that can be applied immediately to our teaching, and lastly formulate a plan as to which framework or idea to ‘dig deeper’ into as an act of continued work in this topic.
