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 to 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.
This week, Gautami Shah will share their project on Actively engaging students through intentional planning of course modules to create a more inclusive classroom experience.
The past two years has increased awareness of the diverse technological tools that support experiential learning for UT undergraduates; attendees of this session will learn about a specific set of projects being piloted and will have opportunities to talk with the faculty who are implementing them.
This workshop will provide the opportunity to critically reflect on what diversity means to you and how you demonstrate a commitment to diversity, as well as to begin articulating how these values are apparent in your current practice and future goals.

The purpose of this workshop is two-fold: 1) to introduce participants to the Students as Partners Approach as one example of an equitable teaching practice and 2) to provide participants with an opportunity to brainstorm how they can also partner with their students in their own courses. We will explore these topics by hearing from students in the DEI concentration who participated in the SAP approach to course design and dialoguing about how this approach can be applied to your course.
Join us for a discussion of equitable grading practices and some time-saving tips for managing your workload.
