Are you new to teaching? Or do you want to revisit some of the foundations of college instruction related to teaching and learning? The Nuts-and-Bolts workshop engages faculty in learning and discussions about the fundamentals of being a college instructor. Throughout these sessions, we discuss, share, and build on our knowledge and skills regarding our teaching approaches in our classroom and, more specifically, gain new insights into reflecting on our teaching identity, engaging with students, planning our syllabus and assessments, and connecting with student support services. This workshop is designed to provide faculty with an overview of the topics below. Faculty may discover areas they wish to explore further in more specific workshops.
| Teaching Frameworks and Student Engagement | Examine areas such as instructor’s positionality, students’ backgrounds and identities, and teaching lens/frameworks |
| The Inclusive Syllabus | Examine the importance of a well-designed syllabus, equitable, and accessible syllabus |
| Assessment Overview | Consider approaches to effectively design and implement assessments |
| Student Support Services | Learn about key student service providers on campus (e.g. Counseling, Disability Resource Center, Multicultural Services) and gain insight into how to partner with these providers |
| Reflection | Use what we have learned to reflect on your teaching practices or apply changes to a particular aspect of your course |
