SUMMARY:EDI and Academic Freedom in the Classroom: Navigating Tensions and Exploring Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators:Archana Sridhar\, Assistant Provost\, University of TorontoAlex Hernandez\, Associate Professor and Associate Chair\, Department of English\, University of Toronto \nIn recent years\, higher education has the site of a number of contentious debates that place academic freedom in tension with broader EDI values. This presentation seeks to explore these tensions as they appear in the classroom\, using recent real-life controversies as case studies. Led by Professor Alex Hernandez\, Associate Chair of the FAS Department of English\, and Assistant Provost Archana Sridhar\, the session will discuss pedagogical and administrative approaches to these tensions\, while also providing participants with a better understanding of academic freedom protections and the difference between academic freedom and free expression. Collaborative discussion of case studies will also encourage a candid examination of these protections as well as the use of potentially offensive course materials and the teaching of controversial topics.

SUMMARY:Demystifying the Dossier: Drafting Your Statement of Teaching Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Cora McCloy\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, SoTL\, CTSISamantha Chang\, Faculty Liaison\, Anti-Racist Pedagogies\, CTSIAt the University of Toronto\, a teaching dossier must be submitted as part of the formal review process for tenure and continuing status. Beyond the information included in an academic CV\, a teaching dossier describes and documents an instructor’s teaching expertise\, goals and priorities for teaching and learning\, contributions to course and curriculum design efforts\, evidence of student impact\, and evidence of teaching leadership.  This session focuses on one of the key components of the teaching dossier: the opening Statement of Teaching Philosophy (STP). A strong statement summarizes and highlights the core beliefs and principles of an educator while also providing a conceptual framework for the dossier materials that follow. It needs to provide enough information\, evidence\, and examples from one’s teaching to convey a vivid sense of the values and approaches of an instructor\, yet also needs to be clear and concise enough to be meaningful to the reader of the dossier.Participants in this workshop will: • Identify key elements of a STP    \n• Review steps to follow when preparing to write the STP  \n• Learn strategies to interpret\, connect\, and integrate sources of evidence (e.g.\, course evaluations\, mid-course feedback\, peer observations of teaching) \n• Practice articulating key aspects of their teaching and integrating evidence to support claims of effectivenessThe goal is for participants to leave the session with a clear sense of what steps to take to enhance their drafts. Participants will be provided a digital workbook prior to the webinar and this document will form the basis of the session activities. Please note that this session will not focus on how to prepare/compile the actual dossier itself – for this topic\, please register for Preparing the Teaching Dossier (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/4143).

SUMMARY:Monitor-Side Chats: UDL-ing in Winter 2024: UDL Guideline 2: Language & Symbols (building representation)
DESCRIPTION:Discussions about practical applications and concrete strategies of Universal Design for LearningFor February 23rd session: learn more about UDL Guideline #2: Provide Options for Language and Symbols (https://udlguidelines.cast.org/representation/language-symbols)The average student does not exist. So\, how do we design learning environments that maximize learning for all students?Universal Design for Learning (UDL) (https://udlguidelines.cast.org/) is a framework for minimizing barriers and fostering purposeful\, motivated\, resourceful\, knowledgeable\, strategic\, and goal-oriented learners. UDL offers various guidelines for providing multiple means of engagement\, representation\, and action and expression. UDL is an iterative and reflective process and CTSI is here to help!Join CTSI staff and U of T instructors in Winter 2024 for informal monitor-side (in-person and online) chats about implementing UDL in your teaching (i.e.\, UDL-ing your course). We will examine each UDL guideline and checkpoint and discuss practical strategies to help students access\, build\, and internalize learning.New to UDL? Watch the 5-minute “UDL at a Glance” video (https://youtu.be/bDvKnY0g6e4?si=jhwJwVPc_QVbBqgK) created by CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology).This monitor-side chat is one of nine in a series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/monitor-side-chats-udl-ing-in-winter-2024/) occurring weekly on Fridays between January 26 and March 22. Chat soon!

SUMMARY:Generative AI Works in Progress Series- Cultivating Discernment in Skill Development in using ChatGPT
DESCRIPTION:The Generative AI Works in Progress series is a new offering designed to encourage ongoing\, open\, institutional-level conversations about generative AI in teaching and learning. Over the Winter 2024 term\, the series will offer a range of one-hour presentations targeted towards a broad teaching and learning audience where current questions\, ideas\, inquiries or works in progress will be shared with a community of peers. The goal for this series is to create a space for experimentation\, sharing and problem-solving.  \nPresented on behalf of the Digital Learning Innovation office and the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation  \nFacilitator: Jane Freeman\, Professor\, Teaching Stream\, School of Graduate Studies  \nThis session will be guided by questions raised by Prof. Ursula Franklin in her work on the social impact of technology\, namely\, What specific skills do students need/cultivate when using ChatGPT and what needed skills are potentially not developed because of the use of this new technology? We will consider a range of specific types of writing assignments/tasks\, the specific purposes of those tasks in terms of intended skill development\, and the ways in which use of ChatGPT may support or prevent that development. The goal of the session is to help participants consider how best to maximize the benefits of generative AI without unintentionally supporting deskilling.This presentation is a slightly modified version of the workshop offered on December 8th\, 2023 at the Faculty of Information\, repeated by request.
