submitted by maherk@augsburg.edu

The goal of this session is to offer some teaching strategies and tools that will

• foster student ownership of their own learning
• facilitate student learning, retention of information, and academic success
• create a culture of engagement and participation in the classroom

These strategies can be useful in teaching difficult concepts as well as in managing the varied abilities and interest levels that one might encounter in any given section of a course. Some can be incorporated into the syllabus and in long-term planning; some can be adapted and used on the fly and/or to redirect a class session.

Faculty, it can be quite time-consuming to develop effective active learning activities for your classroom, especially if you are teaching a course for the first time. The goal of this session is to provide you with two or three concrete examples of effective active learning templates that can be quickly adapted to your course. By starting with just one type of active learning strategy that works best for your learning objectives, you can quickly develop variants that can be used in virtually every class period to engage your students and make teaching more fun!

On August 12, 2019, Stacy Freiheit, professor of psychology, assumed the role of director of general education. Stacy is now the primary contact person for all matters related to the current general education program at Augsburg.

Jacqui deVries, former director of general education and chair of the General Education Design Team (GEDT), has graciously offered to support Stacy as she transitions to the new role. Jacqui will also continue to oversee final clarifications and refinements to the general education redesign proposal through September 18, when the proposal will be advanced to Faculty Senate, in anticipation of a “first reading” in October and faculty vote in November. After September 18, Stacy will assume primary responsibility for stewardship of the proposal, working closely with Jacqui and the GEDT, as it comes before the faculty as a body.

Please join me, again, in thanking Jacqui for her 7 years of remarkable service in leading Augsburg’s general education program and the redesign effort and in welcoming Stacy to her new role!

What do future auggies expect from Augsburg when it comes to technology?

What do future auggies expect from their courses, faculty and campus?

The Augsburg IT Department is sponsoring a future student panel to explore what technology future auggies expect. Come see a panel, where three incoming first year students will talk about what they expect from Augsburg’s technology environment.

Teenagers have grown up in a world where technology is everywhere and how they learn is infused with technology. Many K-12 systems have laptop programs, smartboards, and use tools like moodle. This sets an expectation and shapes how they learn — we need to understand this digital reality so we can help students succeed in the college environment. Come and hear from this panel and engage with them on questions you have about their digital reality.

Lifetime Achievement Award – Nancy Rodenborg, MSW, LGSW, MIA, PhD

Dr. Rodenborg was a United Nations volunteer in Somalia in the early 1980’s, setting the stage for her life-long commitment to transcultural relationships and international development with a global perspective. Since then, she has dedicated her research to understand the interactions between cultures and to apply that understanding particularly for the well-being of those who are newcomers, immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, and/or from historically oppressed groups. Her dissertation research focused on the influence of institutional racism and discrimination in child welfare cases, building on her prior work as a child protection social worker or supervisor in Brown, Dakota and Hennepin Counties in Minnesota and a child protection trainer in Oregon. Her work embodies the link between theory and practice in the field of social work.

In addition to her teaching and research on diversity and inequality, Dr. Rodenborg has been a leader in global education, helping develop the Social Work in Mexico semester and leading student educational groups to Norway and Namibia, and implementing diversity curriculum programs including the Intergroup Dialogue method. Her research on intergroup dialogue and aversive racism is pioneering in the field and has helped frame the multicultural foundations of Augsburg’s MSW program. Dr. Rodenborg is also a remarkable collaborator who has partnered on numerous projects with faculty colleagues in her department, University, and with community partners, and has served on boards and commissions in community, nonprofit and educational settings.

Remember that this afternoon, Faculty are invited to attend workshops facilitated by the Assessment Committee. These will take place in the East Commons from 1 p.m. until 3:30 p.m., and refreshments will be provided. Some details are below.

Planning Department Assessment Projects
Facilitator: Kristen Chamberlain
What will your department be assessing in 2019-2020? Share ideas and get inspiration for upcoming department assessment projects.

Department Assessment Roundtables
Some representatives from different departments will be ready to talk about their projects from the past year or two.

Preparing for Academic Program Review
Departments preparing for an Academic Program Review are invited to join a panel discussion and workshop focusing on the available resources, challenges, and opportunities posed by external reviews. Dave Matz (Dean of Arts and Sciences) will be on hand to speak about the administrative process, and faculty members Henry Yoon (Psychology) and Matt Maruggi (Religion) will discuss their departments’ recent successful reviews by reflecting on the processes and structures that worked best for their particular majors.

Presentation of Writing Data/AQUA
As part of the ongoing institutional learning outcome assessment cycle, the assessment committee recently evaluated student writing artifacts from the 2017-2018 academic year. We will present an analysis of the results, and also will introduce our new assessment software, AQUA, which facilitates rubric scoring and visualization of student outcomes.

Dear white-bodied colleagues,

Are you unsure how to respond when a fellow white-bodied person says or does something with a racist impact? Do you ever find yourself, despite your best intentions, feeling uneasy or tense when the topic of race comes up? Do you ever experience the impulse to fight, flee, or freeze in racialized moments and then struggle to navigate the shame of inaction or imperfect action? Are you eager to build loving, accountable community where we can learn to cause less harm and lean into the discomfort that comes with growth?

Learn more and apply to be part of a 2019-2020 academic year cohort of white faculty and staff learning to undo the ways white supremacy shows up in our bodies, not just in our minds. Applications are due by 5:00 p.m on Monday, May 13, 2019. Selected participants will be notified by Friday, May 17, 2019.

The Sabo Center is convening the Undoing White Body Supremacy Pilot Project in partnership with Augsburg’s Equity and Inclusion Initiatives. Contact Rachel Svanoe (svanoe@augsburg.edu) or Allyson Green (greena@augsburg.edu) with questions about this opportunity.

This session will explore two separate yet interconnected resources that can help faculty support student writers: The Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum. The first part of the session, led by Jenn Forsthoefel, will discuss ways for faculty to encourage their students to take advantage of the Writing Center and expectations faculty should have for the students that use the Writing Center.

Dear white-bodied colleagues,

Are you unsure how to respond when a fellow white-bodied person says or does something with a racist impact? Do you ever find yourself, despite your best intentions, feeling uneasy or tense when the topic of race comes up? Do you ever experience the impulse to fight, flee, or freeze in racialized moments and then struggle to navigate the shame of inaction or imperfect action? Are you eager to build loving, accountable community where we can learn to cause less harm and lean into the discomfort that comes with growth?

Learn more and apply to be part of a 2019-2020 academic year cohort of white faculty and staff learning to undo the ways white supremacy shows up in our bodies, not just in our minds. Applications are due by 5:00 p.m on Monday, May 13, 2019. Selected participants will be notified by Friday, May 17, 2019.

The Sabo Center is convening the Undoing White Body Supremacy Pilot Project in partnership with Augsburg’s Equity and Inclusion Initiatives. Contact Rachel Svanoe (svanoe@augsburg.edu) or Allyson Green (greena@augsburg.edu) with questions about this opportunity.
