Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Seminar

Investigate how to create learning environments that are accessible to all students, regardless of ability and/or learning style. Faculty will be introduced to UDL with an emphasis on how to create equity in classrooms, remove barriers to success, empathize with our students, understand common obstacles to learning, and empower everyone to work from their strengths. During class sessions and via asynchronous assignments, we will work collaboratively to improve our learning environments so that all students can succeed.

Navigating Challenging Conversations in the Classroom Seminar

Alessandra Early and Nicole McKenna. 

As criminal justice professors, we often cover controversial topics while navigating challenging macro-dynamics (e.g., global pandemic, warfare, police brutality). Our students are learning in these environments and many of us are asking, “how do I talk about this with my students?” Over three seminar sessions, we will identify materials or issues that are challenging to teach, improve our discussion-based facilitation skills, and increase confidence in navigating challenging conversations. Developed for faculty interested in developing resources to guide students, and themselves, through challenging conversations. 

Dates & times (in person ONLY):  Tuesdays, 2/25, 3/25, 4/22; all @ 1:40-2:55 pm. 

Application link: https://forms.gle/nqUZenDBaJw1un8W7.
