Even though the book is five years old，Selingo’s analysis is still relevant. From his experience as an editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education，he traces problematic administrative practices that took hold in the first decade of the millennium (building debt and promoting a customer mentality with regards to students). Together with unforeseen societal changes，such as economic crises and disruptive technologies，these practices have exacerbated the college dropout problem and made students question the value of a college degree. Join us for this chat to discuss what of his analysis resonates with your experience，the likelihood of the future he predicts，and the applicability of the strategies he suggests. – March 18, 2019

Midterms have passed and finals are coming up. These are two times in the semester when instances of academic dishonesty are at their highest. Do you feel comfortable and prepared in addressing academic dishonesty in your course? This workshop will provide you with step-by-step guidance on how to deal with occurrences of possible academic integrity issues. We will discuss what cheating might look like，how to deal with it，and provide guidance for discussion you may need to have with students. CETL is partnering with the Department of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity to deliver this workshop. – March 14, 2019

Have you taught a class where students are highly engaged and are outperforming your expectations? What is so special about that class? How can you document what is happening so you can reproduce that impact in the future? In this workshop we will discuss the components of conducting scholarly action research in the classroom. We will also study several examples of successful applications for Institutional Review Board approval that you may be able to adapt to your own classroom research. Participants will leave with the beginning of an action plan to turn what started as a successful class into a scholarly paper as well. – March 12, 2019

Employing interactions in the classroom is one way to improve student engagement. By getting student involved in class discussions，interactive classroom activities，and classroom assessment techniques，students can create a deeper connection to the content. Join me for this workshop to explore different options for creating engagement and interactions in the classroom. – March 06, 2019

We must intentionally think about where we want students to go in order to help them get there. Teaching with purpose requires us to first identify our course goals and objectives and create assignments that are aligned. Often we，as instructors，know why were doing certain things in our courses，but it might not be apparent to students. This workshop will explore the Transparency Framework (of purpose/task/criteria) developed by Mary-Ann Winkelmes，as it relates to assignment creation. We will introduce the framework and apply it to redesigning an assignment you currently use in your course. – March 05, 2019

Exams are a helpful assessment tool if aligned to your course objectives and goals. However，they can present a challenge with issues of academic dishonesty depending on the structure and design of the exam. This workshop will explore strategies for creating test questions and an environment that can promote academic integrity. We will also discuss the process of addressing academic integrity issues if they do arise. CETL is partnering with the Department of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity to deliver this workshop. – March 01, 2019

This webinar addresses how performance criteria can be used to help learning objectives (which can sometimes seem static and impersonal in nature) come alive in the classroom. Performance criteria are the expectations given to learners before a performance that define the characteristics which make up a high quality performance related to achieving a learning objective. Participants attending this webinar will be able to articulate the value of writing and using performance criteria，practice using a methodology for writing performance criteria，and assess performance criteria to improve quality. – March 01, 2019

If you find yourself wondering why your students' exam results are often worse than their homework and class activity results，this 30-minute informative webinar is for you. We will discuss strategies and tools to incorporate the use of purposeful knowledge network development throughout our teaching in order to help students transfer what they learn from lecture and practice to other contexts，including in exams and later in life. Registrants will receive a webinar link a few days before the event. – February 26, 2019

Employing active learning techniques does not automatically produce high quality learning，nor does it necessarily contribute to a productive academic mindset in students. While a large body of research shows that incorporating active learning techniques into the classroom can significantly improve student achievement of learning outcomes，how can we use it to produce a productive academic mindset as well? In this workshop we will explore how we can create productive academic mindsets by engaging students in ways that really make a difference. Specifically，we will consider three components identified in the research that teachers can influence student mindset in the classroom: emotional engagement，cognitive-emotional engagement，and behavioral engagement. – February 25, 2019
