Description
An extension of our annual Strong Start Teaching Institute, this continuing Winter series is meant to carry on conversations around small teaching practices for faculty to support our first and second-year students. These in-person workshops will be offered at both the Allendale and downtown campuses by the Pew FTLC Assistant Director, Dr. Maggie Goss. While these workshops stem from the Strong Start Teaching Institute (focused on engaging students in first- and second-year undergraduate courses), faculty teaching all levels of undergraduate students will benefit from these discussions, and participants need not have attended Strong Start.

Imagine this: you return to your office on Monday to an inbox full of student emails sent at all hours of the night, each demanding your attention on an urgent matter. You then head to teach where you’re confronted with more requests – the slides from last week’s class, an extension on the proposal draft, and an opportunity to retake the first exam. You want to be available and accommodating to students but are wondering if you’ve stretched yourself too thin. In this workshop, participants will learn how to balance structure and flexibility. Specifically, how to establish boundaries by setting equitable expectations with students. Given the mid-semester timing of the workshop, we will also address how to recover and reset boundaries. Register to attend the workshop on Tuesday, February 25 or Thursday, February 27.
