As many of you know, GradSTEP is happening this Saturday (January 26th) from 9:00am to 3:05pm in Buttrick Hall. Saturday’s schedule includes:

9:00-9:30 Check-in, Buttrick Atrium (first event begins at 9:30 AM)

9:30-9:45 Opening Remarks

9:45-10:45 Plenary Panel: “Beyond four walls: transcending the classroom”

12:00-12:45 Lunch (Free to registered participants!)

12:45-1:50 Session II Workshops

2:00-3:05 Session III Workshops

We are looking forward to a great day of workshops and discussions on teaching, learning, and professional development issues across the disciplines. The event will begin with a plenary session in which a panel of faculty members discuss how they transcend the four walls of the classroom in their teaching practices, and will feature Nancy Chick (English), Sharon Shields (Human & Organizational Development), and Barb Stengel (Teaching & Learning). Participants then select workshops in three sequential sessions. Workshops include:

Grading Efficiently: Finding the Time to Grade Fairly
Flipping the Classroom
Teaching with Case Studies
Making Discussions Safe
Writing in the STEM Classroom
Beyond Templates: Effective Powerpoint Design
Transitioning to Professorship: Teaching Statements and Portfolios
Beyond the Ivory Tower: Alternative and Non-Academic Career Choices
Finding Teaching Moments in the Field: Learner-centered Field Research Programs
Adding Spatial Dimensions to Teaching
Social Pedagogies: Motivating Students through Social Media and Authentic Audiences

Graduate Student Teaching Event for Professional Development (GradSTEP) is co-sponsored by the Graduate Student Council and the Center for Teaching.
