]]> <![CDATA[Helping Students Struggle: Focusing Effort on What Really Matters]]> 28511 Some of the struggles students experience when they take courses at Georgia Tech are useful and contribute to their learning. Other struggles, however, feel unproductive to students—and then they adamantly complain about you and/or the course at the end of the term in their evaluations. What makes the difference? When do students view their work in a course as worthwhile? What makes students feel that you want them to succeed? How can you help students value their course experience with you? Join your colleagues for a lively discussion about rigor, struggle, and the rewards of teaching.

Lunch will be provided.

Both documents share a common purpose — to acquire an interview. This workshop offers rhetorical strategies for moving beyond template thinking to personal marketing and customization based on the type of institution to which you are applying. Participants are encouraged to bring their own CV and cover letter to the workshop for peer review.

]]> <![CDATA[Integrating Creativity, Innovation, and Design Thinking in STEM Courses]]> 27276 Integrating Creativity, Innovation, and Design Thinking in STEM Courses

Beginning July 6

The Maker Movement has seen a large increase in the need to infuse innovation and entrepreneurship into STEM courses. Helping students develop “innovation literacy” is becoming a new aspect of STEM education. Incorporating creativity techniques, games, as well as innovation techniques can greatly improve students’ interest in the subject matter, improve problem solving abilities, but also helps see how the STEM work relates to real world applications.

Each week, students will pre-read an article related to one of the following techniques: creativity, games, use of analogies, design thinking. Each synchronous session will provide additional details as well as a hands-on activity to help participants see how to integrate the technique.

This is a synchronous on-line course provided by the CIRTL network, which can be viewed privately at your own location OR you can join our learning community “viewing party”.

Course dates: Four Wednesdays: July 6, July 13, July 20, July 27
Times: 1:00 to 2:30PM ET

On-campus learning community meets in Clough Commons, Room 466A

]]> <![CDATA[Advancing Learning Through Evidence-Based STEM Teaching]]> 27276 Advancing Learning Through Evidence-Based STEM Teaching

Beginning June 1

This 8-week online course will provide future faculty in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) with an introduction to “teaching as research”—the deliberate, systematic, and reflective use of research methods to develop and implement teaching practices that advance the learning experiences and outcomes of both students and teachers. Participants will learn about effective teaching strategies and the research that supports them, and they will learn how to collect, analyze, and act upon their own evidence of student learning.

This is an asynchronous on-line course; you complete modules each week at your convenience AND you can join our learning community to meet weekly to discuss course material.

Course dates: June 1 – July 29, 2016
Times: Course content is completed independently on your own schedule.

The optional learning community will meet weekly, alternating between Thursdays and Fridays each week. Participants can attend any subset of these meetings as their schedules allow.
Thursdays (June 2, June 16, June 30, July 14) from 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Fridays (June 10, June 24, July 8, July 22) from 10:30am to 12:00pm
All learning community meetings will be in Clough Commons, Room 323

]]> <![CDATA[Teaching Transformations in Response to Student Feedback]]> 27276 A continuous stream of information through formative classroom assessments, early course feedback, and final student evaluations helps instructors understand how well students are learning in response to their approaches to teaching. Sometimes this feedback tells us what we don’t want to hear: that students aren’t responding well, that they need something different in order to meet the goals we’ve set for them. In this session, we will hear from three Georgia Tech faculty members who have done the hard work of taking this feedback seriously, transforming their approach to teaching, and measurably helped improve their students’ teaching as a result.
