Collections
Assessment as Learning
How can we transform assessment from a summative event to one that actively engages students in learning? This collection explores approaches to assessment that foster self-regulation, reflection, and evaluative judgment, and that support students in becoming life-long learners.
Diffusing Hot Moments in the Classroom
"Hot moments," or moments of conflict, may arise in our classrooms. If we're prepared for these challenging moments and consider all parties with a trauma-informed lens, we can use these moments to enhance, rather than derail our students' learning.
Emotions and Learning
We often think of learning as a purely cognitive activity, one characterized by cold intellect and impartiality. This collection offers a counterpoint, presenting theoretical grounding, data, and practical suggestions for centering emotional and motivational aspects of teaching and learning.
Grading for Growth
Are you interested in alternative grading but don't know where to begin? Our collection takes you through the key ideas, with links to concrete ways to get started.
Improving Students' Feedback Literacy
When students receive feedback on their work, what do they do with it? Feedback literacy encompasses the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students need to appreciate the value of feedback, engage in feedback processes, and take responsibility for their own learning and development.
Incorporating Metacognition into Teaching
Metacognition—awareness of one's own thought processes—isn't just important for students! These resources introduce you to strategies for incorporating metacognitive awareness into your own teaching in order to become more conscious of students' needs and more responsive in your lesson planning.
Integrating AI into Assignments to Support Student Learning
What role might generative AI play in helping students meet the learning goals we have for them? This collection features concrete examples of assignments that thoughtfully integrate AI to support student learning.
Reciprocal Peer Teaching Observations
Peer observation of teaching need not happen only as part of faculty evaluation processes. Observing each others' classes with the purpose of reflecting and providing feedback to one another benefits instructional quality as well as collegial connection.
Reflective Writing in SoTL
Reflection is valued in teaching practice, so it should come as no surprise that reflective writing is valued in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). Learn more about reflective writing in SoTL and peruse a few of my favorite examples from a range of approaches and perspectives.
Self-Study for Teaching Documentation
How do you successfully document your teaching? In this collection, you will explore self-study approaches that provide you with an authentic representation of your teaching based on evidence of what you do in your teaching.
Supporting Executive Functioning through Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Executive functions are those mental processes that support attention, organization, time management, and related tasks that are critical to learning. The resources here will help you apply universal design for learning (UDL) to better support students' executive functions.
Teaching for Democratic Engagement and Civic Learning
Across the disciplines, instructors can support students’ development as citizens and voters. These resources explore ways to incorporate this work in your courses, design engaging activities for civic skills building, and prepare for high-stakes discussions in polarized times.
