Faculty Workshops and Events Photo by Princeton University, Office of Communications, Denise Applewhite (2015) Ongoing and Asynchronous Events Join the McGraw Center for asynchronous Canvas courses, and semester-long discussion groups. (Re)designing your Course Are you developing a new course? Or are you reimagining a class you have taught many times? In this asynchronous Canvas course, we offer interactive opportunities, evidence-based suggestions, and reflective tools to help you align your learning and teaching as you design or redesign a syllabus. Join us with a new or existing course in mind that you hope to (re)design. Our goal is that you will leave this course with a syllabus in hand that includes: Clear and specific learning goals for your students Targeted assessments aligned with these goals that you can communicate to students Assessments integrated with course material into the arc of a semester We have specifically designed this course to help you either create a wholly new syllabus or redesign a current syllabus. Sign up for the Canvas course Inclusive and Equitable Pedagogy Canvas Course The McGraw Center's asynchronous Canvas course Inclusive and Equitable Pedagogy is designed with three main goals: To share evidence-based practices with Princeton instructors to support all students in their learning To create a space for instructors to share their own best practices of inclusive and equitable teaching. To create prompts and guidance for instructors to design usable, practical materials to make your course more equitable and accessible following the premise that small changes can create substantive impacts. This course joins other initiatives at our center, including our work re-designing the inclusive and equitable teaching resources on the McGraw Website (Links to an external site.), our talks and lectures focusing on equitable teaching, and concurrent Zoom sessions to offer support and feedback as you work through this course. We hope that this Canvas course complements these other venues for learning and course development to help make Princeton courses more equitable and inclusive.Sign up for the Canvas course. Inclusive and Equitable Teaching Virtual Discussion Cohort We invite you to join a cohort of faculty to meet regularly to discuss approaches to equitable and inclusive teaching. Please join us especially if you are looking for accountability, community, and support as you develop your present or future courses with equity in mind. The cohort will run parallel to a new Canvas site developed by the McGraw Center on equitable and inclusive teaching, but you need not complete that course to take part in the cohort. Meetings will offer time for faculty to share concerns and receive and offer suggestions, while also discussing selected readings on key issues. We ask faculty to attend as many of the sessions as possible to create consistency and community within the cohort. Every other Wednesday, 9/21 - 11/30.RSVP here.
