New Leadership for Center for Teaching and Learning

submitted by reederm@augsburg.edu

As previously announced, beginning Thursday June 1st, I (Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright) will step down as the Director of CTL and Faculty Development Committee Chair. My work in these areas will be taken over by these two wonderful people:

Assistant Dean of Faculty Development: Robert (Bob) Groven (COM: groven@augsburg.edu)
Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning: Rachel Lloyd (EDU: lloydr@augsburg.edu)

Bob and Rachel will now be your points of contact for all things Faculty Development, including CTL, Travel Awards, Scholarship Awards, etc… At this point, the current CTL email address (ctl@augsburg.edu) serves all of Faculty Development, so please continue to use that email address for communication with Bob and Rachel

It’s been a pleasure working with all of you – and I’ll see you next Fall!

Sincerely,
Jennifer

Stream PlayLabs Festival Plays May 15-21

submitted by hildena@augsburg.edu

The Playwrights’ Center (Augsburg CGEE partner) recently held the PlayLabs Festival, one of the nation’s most comprehensive new play festivals. If you want to experience the festival for yourself, you can stream filmed readings of the three featured plays now:

That Must Be the Entrance to Heaven
by Franky D. Gonzalez

Glory. Survival. Legacy. Citizenship. Four Latino boxers all chase a world title to achieve their personal versions of heaven. But to get there, they must battle each other, their own battered bodies, society, and the universe itself. All four men walk the line between life and death in this collision of combat and cosmos.

A Walless Church: The Black Woman’s Guide To Making God
by AriDy Nox

A Walless Church is a Living Room play/ritual/lecture where three godlings create God, interweaving between narrator and protagonist and teacher and student and priestess and witness and god and God recklessly. Oru, the seasoned expert, Nona, the perfectionist, and Mo, the newbie. While Oru, Nona, and Mo struggle to create a God worthy of Creation, they also struggle with the various black women they haphazardly embody, all of whom are struggling to see the God within themselves. But our godlings are persistent and they refuse to fail. (At least, not without a fight.)

Stockade
by Andrew Rosendorf

Five years after the end of WWII, a group of gay soldiers gather for a reunion of sorts on Fire Island—and are met by an outsider with a surprise that will cause them to question whether history is best left in the past. At a time when “security risk” was government code for “homosexual,” it will take courage to step out of the shadows as each confronts their present and future.

You can also stream the festival showcase and a conversation with the featured playwrights, all on the Playwrights’ Center website May 15-21!

Learn more about the festival and stream the plays here!

Full-Time Faculty: The Integrated Course Design Workshop Is Now Full

submitted by reederm@augsburg.edu

Participating in the Integrated Course Design (ICD) Workshop will change the way you think about teaching. It is offered to encourage faculty to develop their knowledge and skills in evidence-based, equitable, engaging, and holistic course design. Based on the work of L. Dee Fink, the workshop is designed to offer participants a reframing of their work from “teacher” to “designers of learning experiences.” More than a collection of different teaching strategies, integrated course design is an overall system for thinking about how all course elements and strategies intersect with one another to create significant learning experiences for students — experiences which engage students with your content and lead to changes in the way they live in and understand the world.

When: Wed May 17; Thu May 18; Wed May 24; Thu May 25 ; 9am-Noon all days
Where: Augsburg University Campus
Who: All full-time Augsburg faculty members

The Integrated Course Design workshop is now full and anybody who would like to be on the waiting list should contact ctl@augsburg.edu directly. Thanks!

Get Puffy Stickers for Visiting the Library’s Karst and Water Pollution Exhibit

submitted by laipa@augsburg.edu

Lindell Library hosts an informational exhibit about the karst geology of southeastern Minnesota, which includes the Twin Cities area. The exhibit was created by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to communicate the unique challenges for keeping groundwater clean in karst regions. It explores some of the sources of water pollution and what all of us can do to ensure safe drinking water and healthy streams.

Stop by the exhibit in the Learning Commons on the street level of the library through the end of the semester and finals to view the exhibit. Take a quick quiz on the material and receive puffy stickers as a prize! While supplies last.

Full-Time Faculty: Only 1 Seat Remaining for the Integrated Course Design Workshop in May

submitted by reederm@augsburg.edu

Participating in the Integrated Course Design (ICD) Workshop will change the way you think about teaching. It is offered to encourage faculty to develop their knowledge and skills in evidence-based, equitable, engaging, and holistic course design. Based on the work of L. Dee Fink, the workshop is designed to offer participants a reframing of their work from “teacher” to “designers of learning experiences.” More than a collection of different teaching strategies, integrated course design is an overall system for thinking about how all course elements and strategies intersect with one another to create significant learning experiences for students — experiences which engage students with your content and lead to changes in the way they live in and understand the world.

When: Wed May 17; Thu May 18; Wed May 24; Thu May 25 ; 9am-Noon all days
Where: Augsburg University Campus
Who: All full-time Augsburg faculty members are eligible to apply for one of the 8 seats in the workshop. Those accepted into the ICD Workshop will receive a $1000 stipend to support work on their course over the Summer.

Full-Time Faculty: Only 4 Seats Remaining for the Integrated Course Design Workshop in May

submitted by reederm@augsburg.edu

Participating in the Integrated Course Design (ICD) Workshop will change the way you think about teaching. It is offered to encourage faculty to develop their knowledge and skills in evidence-based, equitable, engaging, and holistic course design. Based on the work of L. Dee Fink, the workshop is designed to offer participants a reframing of their work from “teacher” to “designers of learning experiences.” More than a collection of different teaching strategies, integrated course design is an overall system for thinking about how all course elements and strategies intersect with one another to create significant learning experiences for students — experiences which engage students with your content and lead to changes in the way they live in and understand the world.

When: Wed May 17; Thu May 18; Wed May 24; Thu May 25 ; 9am-Noon all days
Where: Augsburg University Campus
Who: All full-time Augsburg faculty members are eligible to apply for one of the 8 seats in the workshop. Those accepted into the ICD Workshop will receive a $1000 stipend to support work on their course over the Summer.
