Research indicates that learning outcomes in “active learning” classrooms are superior to passive lectures (Deslauriers et al. 2019). But making your course more active doesn’t mean you have to redesign everything. This webinar is open to all IUFW faculty and will demonstrate activities that you can easily implement to make your lectures more active using Top Hat.

Faculty who seek to refine and promote their teaching efforts may document their work through the development of a teaching portfolio, a site where faculty engage in reflective practice to measure the effectiveness of, and to refine, their teaching practices. This webinar introduces faculty to the teaching portfolio and to the several interrelated tasks that yield the teaching portfolio's elements: developing a teaching philosophy, identifying specific teaching practices to explore, document, and to improve, situating an identified teaching practices in an appropriate context, and collecting and evaluating evidence of teaching and learning.

Students who have a growth mindset view intelligence as malleable while those with a fixed mindset view intelligence as finite. Students can grow with persistence and effort, but having a growth mindset underlies these behaviors. This, in turn, is dependent on the instructor’s mindset as well. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the differences between growth and fixed mindset theories of intelligence and discuss activities they can incorporate into their classes to foster growth mindset. They will also reflect upon their current teaching practices that align with growth mindset and identify new activities.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching Foundations (previously known as 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.

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.
