Access to artificial intelligence (AI) text generators has upended education – and many other sectors – as much or more than past technology advancements and innovations. Join us in this workshop as we discuss how we continue teaching with impact and to support all students in this new reality. We explore instructional approaches, considerations, and methods to help us teach with less stress and more strategy.

Surviving to Thriving: Incorporating Trauma-Informed Instructional Practices

Register here.

Whether individual or collective, trauma can have a significant impact on lives and how students (and instructors) show up and are able to engage in the classroom.  In this workshop, we will explore the concept of trauma and how it applies to the classroom, recognize a few common trauma responses, investigate several educational best practices, expand our thinking with resilient pedagogy, and begin to apply these concepts to our own teaching.  Together we will move beyond minimum legal requirements or accommodations to design and implement evidence-based instructional strategies in university education.

Feel Better, Teach Better: Strategies for Supporting Faculty Mental Health

Register here.

Teaching is difficult and often an isolating experience.  There are many mental health issues in academia, particularly related to the situation and the work.  Yet, only student mental health is well studied and discussed.  In this workshop, we explore faculty mental health, strategies for improving the environment, and address barriers to addressing concerns.  Please note that this is not a self-help or “yoga your way out of stress” workshop and does have discussions of mental health issues and self-harm.  While university resources are shared, this is an academic and professional development workshop, not medical or mental health advice.  Join us to create community and talk about one of the most prevalent, but under-discussed, issues in academia!
