But how do we create these learning experiences for our students? What do we need to learn and unlearn? The journey towards dismantling racist and oppressive histories and behaviours is intensely personal while also being relational. It is challenging and intersectional. This workshop is a personal conversation about how we internalize systems of oppression\, how they are reflected in our teaching practices\, and how we can create a new vision for how we want to be as educators. In this session participants will engage in self-reflection\, small group discussion\, mindfulness practices and large group conversations.   Learning Goals:  • Reflect on how we have been acculturated into systems of oppression and how they take form in our body and everyday practices as educators  • Understand the social conditioning that informed our identity\, its purpose and how we can move forward in relationship with community  • Reflect on the educator you wish to be\, and how that aligns with your deeper values  • Feel empowered to move forward as anti-racist\, anti-oppressive\, anti-colonial educator URL:https://teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca/event/the-inner-work-of-building-inclusive-classrooms/ CATEGORIES:Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230403T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230403T170000 DTSTAMP:20230314T144039Z CREATED:20221110T153306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230314T144039Z UID:10008525-1680535800-1680541200@teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca SUMMARY:CEL Faculty Roundtable: Respectful and Reciprocal Partnerships with Indigenous Community Organizations  DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Centre for Community Partnerships \n\n\n\nThe Centre for Community Partnerships (CCP) invites you to attend a roundtable focused on building respectful and reciprocal partnerships with Indigenous community organizations. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations have importantly stressed the value of an expanded and deepened education for settler\, displaced and Indigenous students on Indigenous histories\, cultures and issues and have led to a rise in interest in CEL partnerships with Indigenous communities and organizations. How can we\, as instructors of CEL courses\, approach our courses and community partnerships so that we contribute to the resources of Indigenous community organizations rather than tax them? How might we avoid imposing a “burden of help\,” and\, more significantly\, move our students beyond an understanding of CEL as an exercise of “helping” towards goals of learning\, solidarity and activism?   \n\n\n\nPanelists:  \n\n\n\n\nJill Carter\, Assistant Professor\, Centre for Drama\, Theatre and Performance Studies\, Transitional Year Programme & Indigenous Studies\, University of Toronto\n\n\n\nOlivia Franks\, Researcher\, Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC)\n\n\n\nTee Duke\, Director\, Indigenous Initiatives\, Office of Indigenous Initiatives\, University of Toronto Mississauga \n\n\n\nEmma Stromberg\, Indigenous Partnerships Advisor\, University of Toronto Faculty of Arts & Science\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Respectful and Reciprocal Partnerships with Indigenous Community Organizations   URL:https://teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca/event/cel-faculty-roundtable-respectful-and-reciprocal-partnerships-with-indigenous-community-organizations/ CATEGORIES:Centre for Community Partnerships END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230403T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230403T143000 DTSTAMP:20220908T135844Z CREATED:20220908T132651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220908T135844Z UID:10001235-1680528600-1680532200@teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca SUMMARY:Language Exchange Sessions and Second Language Teaching DESCRIPTION:A Faculty of Arts & Science Teaching and Learning Community of Practice \n\n\n\nDeveloping Students’ Verbal Fluency\, Self-Confidence and Intercultural Skills Through Spanish/English Virtual Language Exchange Sessions with Native SpeakersJuan Carlos Rocha Osornio\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Spanish and Portuguese \n\n\n\nEven before the COVID-19 pandemic hit\, language teachers have always had to come up with creative ways to have their students practice their oral skills in a meaningful way. This is particularly important considering that learning a foreign language is often accompanied by feelings of anxiety that can potentially hinder the learning process. While virtual classes have brought new challenges\, they nevertheless offer a valuable opportunity for developing students’ verbal fluency\, self-confidence\, and intercultural skills. This session will provide an overview of the Spanish/English Virtual Language Exchange Sessions that were created in response to the pandemic\, so that students taking Spanish in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Toronto and students of English at Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo\, Mexico\, could interact and learn from one another while creating a sense of community. \n\n\n\nExpanding the Classroom via Educational Platforms: How TalkAbroad Can Help Create Meaningful Assignments in L2 ClassroomsStefana Gargova\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Germanic Languages and Literatures \n\n\n\nProviding meaningful and compelling forms of practice\, assessment and evaluation of students’ oral communicative skills has always been a struggle in Second Language Teaching\, particularly when learning happens outside of the communities and places the target language is spoken. A new educational platform called TalkAbroad is offering a solution for filling this gap. In this presentation I will share my experience with the platform\, as well as demonstrate various assignment options and share student feedback. \n\n\n\nRegister via Zoom \n\n\n\nThe Faculty of Arts & Science Teaching & Learning Community of Practice (CoP) was established in 2015 to create a collegial forum for faculty and instructors to meet and share teaching practices and strategies across fields and disciplines. This CoP is coordinated by Andrew Dicks (Professor\, Teaching Stream and Associate Chair\, Undergraduate\, Department of Chemistry).

The goal of this series is to provide an opportunity for our community to explore the SoTL literature in a group setting\, both to find practical applications to implement in the classroom and to inform our own SoTL projects.Articles in this series are selected by instructors within our SoTL community\, and these papers are a starting point to explore and examine one research study. Facilitators provide discussion prompts to guide and engage us in conversations that will resonate across all disciplines and SoTL experience levels.Facilitators:Tara Black\, Assistant Professor\, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social WorkAlex Rennet\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Mathematical and Computational Sciences\, UTMArticle:Jensen\, J.\, Smith\, C.

Asynchronous Online Instruction Leads to Learning Gaps When Compared to a Flipped Classroom. Journal of Science Education and Technology\, 31(6)\, 718-729. [Library Permalink (https://librarysearch.library.utoronto.ca/permalink/01UTORONTO_INST/fedca1/cdi_eric_primary_EJ1351286)] \nDiscussion Prompts: \n1. The authors cite various meta-analyses (p719-720) that suggest a “positive trend for online instruction” (versus traditional instruction). But the results of the paper seem to show the opposite. Does this surprise you? How does it line up with your own experience teaching online and in-person?2. What did you think of how the authors of this study attempted to address confounding variables\, such as instructor-as-researcher\, and student self-selection into course delivery modalities? Were there any confounding variables that they neither addressed nor controlled for?  Do you worry about these same variables in your own SoTL work? Have you found ways to get around them?3. The authors raise Social Presence Theory in their discussion (p 726)\, noting that faculty and peer interactions could be a significant driver of the disparity in student performance they observed.  Are you familiar with SPT? If so\, have you applied it in your teaching (esp. of non-in-person modalities\, recently or during the pandemic)?  Do you think that SPT plays a crucial role in students’ performance in a course delivered in non-traditional modes\, or do you think there are other factors at play that are at least as important?CTSI Staff:Cora McCloy\, PhD\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, SoTL Kyle Turner\, MSc\, Faculty Liaison\, Teaching and LearningPlease email kyle.turner@utoronto.ca (mailto:%20kyle.turner@utoronto.ca) with any questions about this event.We invite you to enroll in the SoTL Hub (https://q.utoronto.ca/enroll/R7PRJ4) on Quercus to access materials (https://q.utoronto.ca/courses/214089/pages/programming) from this and other series.

They represent a tremendous diversity resource if we create opportunities for them. While many Chinese students perform well academically\, those with very low proficiency levels struggle. Chinese students are likely overrepresented\, along with other equity-deserving groups in plagiarism charges (Eaton\, 2022; Friesen\, 2023) but their language burden seems under-represented in institutional data and practice. What might be some inequity issues we need to consider?We will share some useful insights that we have gained through supporting students with extremely low proficiency in the Reading and Writing Excellence (RWE) program by implementing Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (Huo & Khoo\, 2022) that can inform our roundtable discussion on pedagogy for active learning so that more students with language limitations can participate with necessary institutional support to help them overcome their initial barriers. We will also collaboratively reflect on our future course design and scaffold for academic integrity practice in this roundtable.Learning Outcomes:By attending this roundtable\, participants will• become aware of research-based and practice-based evidence of Chinese students’ challenges\, aspirations\, and potential to contribute/engage• learn how to create learning experiences in their courses to encourage more student transformation from “powerless” to “empowered”• understand culturally responsive pedagogy and the application of anti-deficit mindset• learn about harnessing differences as strengths and promoting equity and interactional diversityNOTE: You will be asked to answer additional questions when registering. \nEaton\, S.

They implemented\, reimagined\, and extended evidence-based teaching practices to support their teaching\, learning and student success at U of T. This Series invites participants to hear from these instructors: their reflections upon what they have learned\, and practical examples and tips informed by evidence-based strategies. Facilitators will engage in discussions on sharing these approaches into one’s current practice.Facilitator: Linda Trinh\, Assistant Professor\, Exercise Oncology Laboratory\, Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical EducationHow do we bring the real world to the classroom to create more meaningful assignments? It is often challenging to create connections between students’ learning experiences and their everyday lives. The session will focus on inquiry-based learning by implementing instructional practices that support student success and course learning outcomes. Developing meaningful assignments will empower students to apply the content and skills they learned during the concept exploration and concept introduction stages to authentic scenarios and problems.
