Imagine a classroom where every student is participating and engaged! Imagine a classroom filled with the voices of students working with each other, questioning, being curious, and problem solving together. The Question Formulation Technique is a method for engaging every learner to have a voice and create the conversations about course content that they want to join. In this interactive session, we will lean about the method and practice of the Question Formulation Technique, which was developed by the Right Question Institute in Cambridge, MA. We will go through each step of the method and explore implications for practice in your classes, labs, or clinics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Teaching and learning in 2024 has brought new challenges to conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, and identity. Oftentimes, we are collectively experiencing criticism for both \"doing too much\" and \"not doing enough\" when it comes to engaging in difficult conversations. What are we to do? Join this interactive and practical workshop with Dr. Liza Talusan, author of The Identity Conscious Educator, to explore how identity informs and impacts our teaching and learning environments and how to build effective strategies for navigating these tensions in our professional and personal spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Department of Physics & Astronomy redesigned Physics 11 to center issues of equity and inclusion in Fall 2023. Come learn how instructors Hugh Gallagher and Miguel Vasquez-Vega emphasized collaborative work and incorporated ideas from ungrading \u2014 such as creating opportunities for students to generate their own course goals and begin to evaluate their own performance and that of peers -- in their large lecture-based course. After hearing about their approach, you will have time to consider how it might apply to your teaching context.<\/p>\n

This is an in person event, and lunch will be served. However, the presentation portion of the event will be live streamed from 12:15-1pm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Then, each participant will be encouraged to create something themselves using generative artificial intelligence. For example, you could experiment with example prompts and adapt them to your own course, re-imagine an assignment or activity using AI, use AI to create a case study or student discussion, and more!<\/p>\n

Most of us at Tufts value the importance of engaging in dialogue for understanding alternative perspectives, problem-solving, civic engagement and building community. When and how have we developed those capacities, much less learned how to teach them to our students? Have we shied away from engaging students in what might be productive conversations for fear of not being skilled enough at initiating and navigating them successfully?In this\u00a0two-part workshop,<\/b>\u00a0we offer practical strategies for faculty who might feel unsure of how to engage students in meaningful and important classroom conversations.\u00a0We will also provide a set of resources for those activities and others you can experiment with over time, and links to websites you can explore for more ideas.

You will experience selected approaches for setting up conversations, take away a few dialogic tools you can use in your classroom, and have some resources to support you in this work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We will engage you in understanding how to tune into your own reactions as well as your students\u2019 reactions, and develop a plan for how you might respond in the moment and later.<\/p>\n

Please join us for this open consultative session to share ideas, resources, and approaches to navigating difficult conversations in classrooms and other learning spaces across Tufts.<\/p>\n

This has been a challenging year on campus and faculty have had to manage difficult conversations in class about domestic and political topics, and evocative course content. Faculty and students have dealt with class disruptions and the breakdown of relationships in many spaces across Tufts. Responding to faculty needs, this workshop is an open and supportive consultation and process session for faculty who would like to continue this work, further build capacity and approaches for response, and for those who were unable to attend the series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
