Have you ever had the experience of reading your end-of-semester student evaluations and found yourself surprised by the comments? You don’t have to wait until the end of the semester to find out how students feel the course is going! Gathering mid-semester feedback helps students feel like they are being heard and gives you useful information that allows you to make improvements and address concerns in the current class. In this webinar, we will discuss a variety of ways to gather mid-semester feedback including surveys, focus groups, and classroom assessment techniques, and respond to what your students say.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching@IUPUI. Designed for new faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and those looking for a refresher on good teaching practices, the webinars are short, with a brief presentation interspersed with opportunities for interaction and questions. Grounded in current research, the workshops address various teaching topics and provide participants with strategies and resources to make instruction more effective, efficient, and enjoyable. Sessions are scheduled with the time of semester in mind, to keep topics relevant for faculty needs at that time.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Assessment Methods and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (A)

Documenting teaching practices and teacher development are easier once a faculty member develops a systematic approach to teaching and learning processes. Faculty members will begin to articulate their teaching and learning process, taking into account student learning objectives, then defining learning and knowledge creation for the learning objectives, and finally building on this understanding to chart the steps of teaching and learning in order to create appropriate assessments and instruments to measure learning. Using provided resources, faculty members may create a plan to document their teaching practices and their development as teachers. This webinar is the 3rd webinar in a 4-webinar series designed to introduce faculty and graduate students to the process of creating, refining and documenting one’s teaching practices and teacher development.

Diversity and inclusion play an important role in promoting student learning. Today’s college students are increasingly diverse compared to prior generations. Traditional teaching strategies have also been shown to lead to lower academic achievement for underserved students compared to majority students even when differences in GPA and other factors are controlled for. By considering the diversity of the classroom and implementing equitable teaching strategies, instructors can increase student learning and sense of belonging for all students, not just those who are underserved. In this webinar, participants will learn how to leverage student diversity and incorporate inclusive teaching strategies in their classrooms. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
