During the week of August 9-13, 2021, join the CTL for a week-long teaching conference for CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ faculty, graduate students and teaching staff who would like to prepare for the fall semester with a focus on equity-minded practices.ÌýEach day's programming centers aroundÌýa theme, and will begin with a casual coffee hour conversation. There will be two daily opportunities to join interactive workshops, and each dayÌýcloses with a happy hour conversation.Ìý
Ìý(CUE), located at the University of Southern California, definesÌýequityÌýmindednessÌýas "the outlook, perspective, or mode of thinking exhibited by practitioners who call attention to patterns of inequity in student outcomes, andÌýare willing to assume personal and institutional responsibilityÌýfor the elimination of inequity."ÌýConference participants will learn how educators can take responsibility for the climate in their classrooms, employ new teaching practices that are proactively inclusive, and create spaces of belonging in their classrooms for all students.
All sessions will occur remotely, on Zoom. Participants registering for the conferenceÌýmay join as many sessions as theyÌýlike. Slides and short recordings for all workshops will be available via a community Canvas course. We will not be recording the coffee or happy hours. Graduate and postdocÌýattendees can receive credit toward CTL teaching certificates.Ìý
