This year’s series focuses on “hot topics,” recurring questions, and common challenges that instructors have encountered this year. We’ve consulted with many instructors about how to implement Equity-focused Teaching strategies within the context of a teaching team; two workshops (one for faculty and one for GSIs) will be dedicated to this set of issues. “Teaching in Tumultuous Times” looks ahead to the potential impact of the upcoming election season on teaching and learning experiences. CRLT in Engineering will host a workshop on neurodiversity and neurodivergence. Additional workshops will focus on accessibility and critical reflection, equity-focused assessment, Generative AI, journal-keeping as a teaching tool, and facilitating discussions. The program will also include the launch of a summer book study group focused on Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass. Workshops will take place either in-person (at CRLT in Palmer Commons or on North campus) or via Zoom.

These events are for University of Michigan affiliates only. Any U-M instructor is welcome to register, however, some sessions may be geared more towards specific audiences. Please see the session descriptions for more details.
