The 2022 Scholarly Teaching Symposium, to be held on October 7, will focus on the theme of Strengthening Student-Instructor Connections. The symposium planning committee seeks proposals for 10-minute presentations by instructors, staff supervising co-curricular experiences, and program directors, who take a reflective, evidence-based approach to teaching and have an impactful story to share about how they’ve strengthened connections with their students. We encourage presenters to invite one or two students to co-present their experiences. This year’s symposium is co-sponsored by the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning, the IUPUI Institute for Engaged Learning, and LEAP Indiana. Learn more and submit a proposal.

Have you heard of PechaKucha? Japanese for chit-chat, PechKucha is a fast-paced storytelling/presentation format, like a TED talk, in which a presenter has 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide to tell a story or present on a topic. The Faculty Forum will be hosting three workshops to give participants an opportunity to reflect on their personal journey in academia and prepare a compelling PechaKucha to present on a special PechaKucha night in November. To learn more and register for the workshops visit: https://facultycrossing.iupui.edu/events/pechakucha/.

A teaching philosophy presents a faculty member’s reflection on the experiences and beliefs that shape his or her teaching and learning strategies. Often used as part of a job application, a promotion and tenure dossier, a teaching award nomination, or course syllabi, a teaching philosophy captures and documents a teacher’s values and aspirations in teaching. This webinar will review one model for structuring a teaching philosophy and will also examine some example philosophies. Webinar participants will take the first steps in articulating their teaching philosophy; those who have already begun to craft a philosophy will have an opportunity to continue that work. This webinar is the 1st webinar in a 3-webinar series designed to introduce faculty and graduate students to the process of creating, refining and documenting one’s teaching practices.
This webinar is one of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshops focused on foundational teaching skills, a series of webinars called Teaching Foundations. 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.
