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, imposter 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. – February 18, 2020

In this workshop, participants will reflect on their beliefs about teaching and learning, identify theorists that align with their views, and articulate concrete ways their philosophy is enacted in online and/or traditional classroom settings. This workshop is designed for graduate students who are currently teaching or plan to teach in the future as well as interested faculty or staff. – February 13, 2020

A student or staff member confides in you about being harassed by another student，a professor or staff member. Is KSU on notice of alleged misconduct prohibited by its policies? Many senior-level leaders are unclear about notice，especially if brought to them under the guise of a private，personal or confidential conversation. In this session，Legal Affairs and OIE will demystify the concept of notice. You will learn how to recognize when you，as a responsible reporter，are on notice about a complaint and the next steps you are required to take in handling the reported conduct. – February 12, 2020

When we assign students a project or activity, we often take for granted that they will understand what we are asking them to do and why. Students do not always have the skills and ability to determine this, though, which is why writing assignments with a clear purpose, that explains the task in full, and provides the criteria on which students will be evaluated is so important. This informational webinar will provide a brief primer on what TILT means and how you can make a small change in your course that could have a big impact on student learning! – February 12, 2020

Preparing the necessary documents is only the first step of the Annual Review Process. Once our case is laid out on paper, we need to present it to the chair. Since so much relies on those conversations, we want to make sure we are well prepared for them. This workshop will present strategies to effectively advocate for ourselves, negotiate toward specific goals, and respond with empathy and clarity in case of differing perspectives in order to nurture a long-term relationship with our chair. – February 10, 2020

Students have many competing demands for their attention during class time, while studying, and even while taking exams; however, evidence shows that paying attention to multiple tasks slows performance, and potentially distracting strategies like taking notes on a laptop are not effective. Attend this workshop to discuss the latest research on attention and learn strategies for helping your students stay on task. – February 05, 2020

We live，work，and are asked to lead in an age of increasing complexity -- a context of continuous information flows，heightened expectations，shrinking resources，and explosive technological growth. In this workshop for deans，chairs，and directors，Chuck Powell (Leadership & Institutional Development Manager for the University System of Georgia) will lead a discussion on how a systems vantage，collaborative approach，and growth through reciprocal influence can help us to better manage internal and external complexity. The concept of influence is a common element within a number of leadership approaches (Lunenburg，Northouse，Rost，and Wheatley). It encompasses the domains of self，others，cultures，and purpose. Join us to explore how reciprocal influence，undertaken with authenticity and a desire for mutual growth，holds the capacity to bring forth a cascade of positive change in local and global environments. – January 29, 2020

At KSU, there is an ongoing need for leadership within multiple contexts and we often make the assumption that prior expertise will readily translate to success in a new leadership role. It is not quite that easy to lead, nor should it be if we desire to do so in a meaningful and sustained way. In this session, led by Chuck Powell, Leadership & Institutional Development Manager, University System of Georgia, participants will consider how proven leadership practices can immediately be applied to their respective settings. Suggestions will be provided for adaptability and the avoidance of “New Leader Syndrome.” Finally, we will explore how to quickly gain credibility as an emerging leader and outline a path for ongoing leadership development. – January 29, 2020

Last year CETL facilitated a workshop on integrating faculty work across research, teaching, and/or service roles. We have since received feedback from participants that this workshop led them to launch some of their most rewarding and impactful projects. With that in mind, we are offering it again. Join us to explore why and how to integrate our work for increased productivity and professional satisfaction. – January 27, 2020

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) focuses on investigations of teaching practices and student learning within a discipline or across disciplines in higher education. If you are curious about your students’ learning and want to explore the intersection of teaching and scholarship, join us for this informational webinar, where you’ll gain practical suggestions for any stage of the SoTL research process, from generating initial ideas to presenting or publishing the research. Webinar link and information will be emailed to participants a few days before the webinar. – January 23, 2020
