for a workshop on ungrading. Cate Denial, Bright Distinguished Professor of American History and Director of the Bright Institute at Knox College, will join us March 3 from 1-2:30 pm to facilitate "Making the Grade: An Introduction to Ungrading."
This workshop will provide an overview of the research for ungrading, varying levels of ungrading, and the opportunity for hands-on planning.
More information coming soon.
We've been so energized by getting to see many of you again in the CTL--whether to talk about teaching or just to catch up.
Please know that your well-being is forefront in my mind. And it's always ok to drop by my office (Cole 309--I moved!) for a conversation. If you are like me, you are still on the pandemic rollercoaster, and I'm here to tell you there's no right way to feel. And this On Being podcast really tackles this topic. If teaching feels overwhelming or the work-life balance seems more challenging than ever before, it is!
The Center for Teaching and Learning committee is preparing to meet and talk about plans for possible faculty development opportunities this year. I'm still happy to put together more teaching squares (a supportive group of your colleagues to bounce ideas off of, to visit your classroom, to just be there). If you would like a midterm visit, I'm happy to drop in to meet with your students to encourage them to reflect on their learning and to provide their thoughtful feedback to you. If there is a topic or area of focus you'd like the CTL committee to consider, please let me know.
We are always happy to hear from you!
Jen
