  • Pre-Tenure, Promotion, & Tenure Review Workshop for Full-Time Tenure-Track Faculty

    Friday, May 6th, 2022 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Facilitators: Este Jordan and Meghan Burke This webinar is designed for full-time faculty on the tenure track who will be submitting their portfolios in Fall for pre-tenure review or promotion and tenure review. While all the rules, schedules, forms and procedures can be found in the Faculty Affairs website, preparing all the relevant documentation is a momentous endeavor that can generate questions and perplexities. Furthermore, the narrative is a genre few faculty are practiced in. We will review requirements and timelines, as well as share common pitfalls and suggestions for crafting an effective portfolio. Full-time non-tenure track faculty in departments that require a third year review should consult with their chairs to understand the expectations for that review.  –  May 06, 2022

  • Identifying and Overcoming Barriers to Writing Productivity

    Wednesday, April 20th, 2022 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Facilitator: Este Jordan While many of us enjoy our scholarship and creative activity, at times impediments to productivity arise that can prove challenging to overcome. In this workshop we will discuss the research on scholarly and creative productivity to identify barriers and effective practices for overcoming them -- including procrastination, impostor syndrome, shame, questioning relevance or institutional/disciplinary alignment, reinvigorating a stalled research agenda, finding time to do that which feels important but not urgent, responding to negative reviews, and beyond.  –  April 20, 2022

  • The Manifesting Current

    Friday, April 15th, 2022 | 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Facilitator: Michele DiPietro In the previous workshops, we have traversed the liberating current, ascending the chakras to achieve a higher level of consciousness, more grounded, powerful, loving, true, connected. However, the chakra system is not linear but cyclical. Once we reach the crown, we aim to descend the chakras in order to manifest the higher consciousness into a new reality (Judith and Goodman 2012). This is called the manifesting current. This final workshop will help us navigate this current to manifest fulfilling professional possibilities.  –  April 15, 2022

  • Conducting Peer Observations of Teaching in Online Asynchronous Courses

    Wednesday, April 13th, 2022 | 10:10 - 11:00 a.m. Facilitator: Mandy McGrew A scholarly teaching practice involves receiving feedback on teaching, reflecting on that feedback, and making adjustments to our teaching. Observing online teaching is not the same as reviewing online course design. Observations of online teaching should focus on the delivery of the course, including the interactions between and among students, the learning activities students are engaging in, and the feedback and direction they are receiving from the instructor. Folks attending this session will review research-based best practices for online course facilitation and learn how to apply an online asynchronous course observation tool to provide targeted and helpful feedback to peers.  –  April 13, 2022

In this webinar, participants will be guided in both reflecting on and beginning to draft their leadership narratives, including balancing the rhetorical dimensions of formal leadership statements and the connective power of narrating personal stories.  –  April 05, 2022
