Teaching Tip Tuesday: 11 Steps to Planning a Course You’ve Never Taught Before

submitted by maherk@augsburg.edu

As we prepare to close out one semester before beginning another, check out this “Faculty Focus” article for some tips on planning to teach a course that you’ve never taught before.

Watch for Teaching Tip Tuesdays on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month and Tech Tip Tuesdays on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays. You can find additional resources at http://inside.augsburg.edu/ctl/resources/teaching-tips-and-resources/.

11 Steps to Planning a Course You’ve Never Taught Before

EDTalk TOMORROW

submitted by maherk@augsburg.edu

Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright will give her talk, “From ‘E’ to ‘F’: Enhancing Student Thinking and Learning During Lectures” tomorrow from 3:20 pm – 3:35 pm in Hagfors 151.

Many instructors use the authoritative/interactive model of class instruction. A simple way for instructors to move toward a dialogic/interactive model is to move from using the IRE (inquiry-response-evaluation) pattern when asking students questions to the IRF (inquiry-response-feedback) pattern. An overview of the three main models of class instruction as well as examples of IRE and IRF will be presented.

This event is a part of our 2019-2020 CTL Inclusion series focused on creating, maintaining, and/or growing environments that allow students to feel more connected to and supported by Augsburg.

EDTalks take place just prior to the faculty meeting and right next door. Grab your coffee and a seat to gain knowledge and inspiration before the big meeting.

Wednesday, December 11 | EDTalk with Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright | 3:20 pm – 3:35 pm, HC 151

Faculty: Submit an article for “Centering Social Justice in the Scholarship of Community Engagement”

submitted by bouzardg@augsburg.edu

Faculty:

The Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning is accepting submissions for their special issue “Centering Social Justice in the Scholarship of Community Engagement.”

The issue will highlight how scholars have centered social justice when designing and implementing service-learning opportunities or producing and applying engaged scholarship.

The editors invite abstracts for submissions from educators and researchers from all fields and disciplines that:

*Report research on the challenges, motivations, and experiences of practicing community engagement
*Explore the often-overlooked contributions to the field of community engaged-scholarship by educators, researchers, practitioners, community partners, and community members from historically marginalized backgrounds
*Evaluate methodologies for the practice and research of engagement based on their ability to achieve social justice
*Apply the lessons of critical theoretical and methodological lenses such as post-colonial theory, feminism, critical race theory, queer theory, disability studies, and ecocriticism, to advance community engagement pedagogies and practices.

Call for Proposals for “CENTERING SOCIAL JUSTICE IN THE SCHOLARSHIP OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT”
