Upcoming Spring Semester Events


Curating Evidence of Teaching: Demonstration of Effectiveness and Continuous Improvement

West Virginia University

How do you make a case for the effectiveness of your teaching? And how do you document your continuous teaching improvement efforts? Join us for this workshop on curating evidence of teaching. We will use a worksheet to identify the sources of data and teaching artifacts we have access to now, and what types of artifacts and data we should begin collecting, saving, or acquiring. The worksheet produced during this workshop is designed to help you facilitate a conversation with your mentor (or unit leader) on “what counts as evidence” and would be recognized by your academic unit.

Creating Grading Plans and Rubrics

West Virginia University

Do you dislike grading rubrics? Many instructors struggle when composing new rubrics, or they find their current rubrics aren’t getting the job done.

Please bring a laptop and an assignment or project in need of a rubric.

Thinking About Thinking: Using Formative Practice to Grow Metacognitive Learners

Sponsor: Every Learner Everywhere

In this insightful panel, faculty and practitioners will explore how everyday formative strategies can be intentionally designed to foster metacognitive learners. Panelists will share concrete examples of prompts, activities, and feedback moves that help students surface their thinking, interpret feedback, and make informed adjustments—rather than simply chasing points. Participants will see models from a range of disciplines and institutional contexts, with attention to how metacognitive supports can advance student success for every learner. Attendees will leave with ideas for an action plan for integrating metacognitive moves into their own formative practice to transform learning for their students.

Strengthening Assignment Clarity with UDL, AI, and TILT

Sponsor: Goodwin University Center for Teaching Excellence

This session explores how UDL, AI tools, and the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework work together to strengthen clarity. Join Dr. Matt Bergman (Assessment and Curriculum Coordinator for Elizabethtown College’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies) as he explores how Universal Design for Learning (UDL), AI tools, and the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework work together to strengthen assignment clarity and student sense-making. Participants will examine examples, experiment with AI tools, and learn evidence-based strategies for designing assignments that improve transparency, optimize challenge and support, and meet the needs of diverse learners in higher education.
