SUMMARY:CTSI Equity Roundtable: Assessing the Impact of the UTSC Curriculum Review
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Katherine R. Larson\, Vice-Dean Teaching\, Learning\, and Undergraduate Programs\, UTSCThe UTSC Campus Curriculum Review was launched in 2020 as a named priority of the campus’s current strategic plan\, Inspiring Inclusive Excellence (https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/strategicplan/)\, and as a part of a broader framework of curricular innovation and renewal. The review’s focus is on Indigenous knowledges and knowledge systems\, Black knowledges\, racialized perspectives\, and international and intercultural perspectives\, while also taking an intersectional approach. The process has been collectively led by a Working Circle made up of students\, faculty\, librarians\, staff and community members. The Working Circle’s report (https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/curriculum-review/) was released in the spring of 2022 with 56 recommended actions. This session will introduce participants to the review in the context of its ongoing implementation\, assessing its impact three years on. It will also explore the circle-based process that the Working Circle has followed as an example of the structural change towards which the curriculum review aspires and as a space that centres listening\, learning\, and dialogue across difference.

SUMMARY:ACUE Lunch and Learn: Collaborative Group Work: the pragmatic use of Group Learning Contracts to ensure accountability and encourage positive dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Danielle Bentley; Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Division of Anatomy\, Temerty Faculty of MedicineThis session describes the use of collaborative group work for both in-class review assignments and two-stage collaborative testing. Imperative to the discussion is the design and implementation of Group Learning Contracts\, and the iterative process of revisiting these throughout the semester to ensure accountability\, encourage respect\, open communication and conflict resolution.There are several talking points extracted from the ACUE modules\, the majority of which align with the Active Learning ACUE modules.This session will include my operational approach to group allocation\, the creation of a Group Learning Contract template in Quercus for group members to simultaneously edit\, and integration of the contract into in-class activities. The session will conclude with direct feedback from the students illuminating their experiences.Instructors from all disciplines interested in integrating effective group work within their teaching will gain insights to build or enhance their approaches in this area.Part of CTSI’s ACUE Lunch and Learn series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/acue-lunch-and-learn/)
