SUMMARY:Avoiding Reviewer 2: Editing Generously as a Way to Rethink Academic Writing and Publishing – with Lee Skallerup Bessette
DESCRIPTION:Avoiding Reviewer 2: Editing Generously as a Way to Rethink Academic Writing and Publishing – with Lee Skallerup Bessette\nDate: Wednesday\, November 25th\, 2026  \nTime: 3:00-4:00pm (AST) / 2:00-3:00pm (EST) / 12:00-1:00pm (PCT) \nRegistration link \nSoTL Speaker Session Description: \nAcademic publishing can feel overwhelming and intimidating\, especially due to the reputation of the peer-review and editing processes. But what if we could work differently? Editing Generously borrows from Kathleen Fitzpatrick’s books\, Generous Thinking and Leading Generously\, and Lee Skallerup Bessette\, PhD\, in this session\, will explain the concept and provide a roadmap to how to create your own publishing opportunities which are generative\, generous\, and focuses on community and support. Due to the pressures of modern academia\, we have forgotten that publishing is supposed to be a way to share and learn from our intellectual community. In this session\, we will explore ways to put that purpose back to the forefront.   \nSoTL Speaker’s Bio: \nLee Skallerup Bessette\, PhD\, is the Assistant Director for Digital Learning at the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) at Georgetown University. She is also the editor of The National Teaching and Learning Forum. Skallerup Bessette’s writing has appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education\, Inside HigherEd\, Diversity in Higher Education\, Women in Higher Education\, Hybrid Pedagogy\, and she has edited or co-edited four books and one special journal issue.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Scholarship of Teaching and Learning\nDate: Tuesday\, February 23rd\, 2027 \nTime: 2:00-3:30pm (AST) / 1:00-2:30pm (EST) / 11:00am-12:30pm (PCT) \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \n\n\nThe scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is an evidence-based approach to systematically studying teaching practices and their impact on student learning. Engaging in SoTL helps us critically examine our own teaching and learning contexts and adapt our practices to respond to the complex\, evolving needs of our students and disciplines. It’s also a great way to better understand and feel more confident in ourselves as teachers! In this session\, we’ll explore how you can turn your observations and curious questions about your classroom\, teaching\, and students into a robust SoTL project. \nParticipants will: \n\nLearn the key phases of a SoTL project\nConsider important ethical tensions for instructor-researchers\nExplore creative ways to gather student reflections and observations\nIdentify practical next steps for getting started in SoTL\nConnect with peers in small groups to share ideas\n\nNote: This workshop includes a 60-minute interactive workshop + a 30-minute optional (but encouraged) reflective conversation and Q&A.

SUMMARY:Universal Design for Learning and Culturally Responsive Pedagogies
DESCRIPTION:Universal Design for Learning and Culturally Responsive Pedagogies\nDate: Wednesday\, March 31st\, 2027 \nTime: 2:00-3:30pm (ADT) / 1:00-2:30pm (EDT) / 10:00-11:30am (PCT) \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \n\n\nPreviously\, we considered implementing UDL as a meaningful framework for inclusion\, focusing on traditionally defined “accessibility.” Let’s revisit meaningful ways to integrate UDL in our classrooms\, now expanding our understanding of access and inclusion by also considering student identity and their sense of “belonging.” We’ll introduce Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP) and investigate the inherent interplay and interdependence between the UDL framework and CRP theory and principles. \nWe will then explore practical ways to leverage course content and facilitate student engagement\, participation\, and expression—whether in synchronous or asynchronous courses—by intentionally centring “the whole student\,” recognizing and valuing their lived experiences\, perspectives\, and ways of learning. \nBy the end of our time together\, we will be able to: \n\nDescribe some key CRP principles\nArticulate the interconnectedness of UDL and CRP\nGenerate examples of how UDL and CRP can be applied\n\nNote: This workshop includes a 60-minute interactive workshop + a 30-minute optional (but encouraged) reflective conversation and Q&A.

SUMMARY:Professor Neo: Simulations as Experiential\, Applied Learning
DESCRIPTION:Professor Neo: Simulations as Experiential\, Applied Learning\nDate: Thursday\, April 22nd\, 2027 \nTime: 2:00-3:30pm (ADT) / 1:00-2:30pm (EDT) / 10:00-11:30am (PCT) \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \n\n\nTeaching with simulations offers opportunities to engage learners in active\, experiential\, and applied learning opportunities. Simulations can look different across disciplines and how we use simulations in our teaching can look very different depending on the context in which the simulation is embedded into the course. This workshop explores the pedagogical possibilities of\, and varied approaches to facilitating learning through simulations. We will discuss how to develop peer and instructor feedback\, self-assessments\, and reflective/debriefing practices central to teaching simulations. We will also take time to consider the following questions: \n\nHow does the simulation relate to the learning outcomes?\nHow does it accomplish an educational goal?\nWhat is our role as educators in the simulation?\n\nNote: This workshop includes a 60-minute interactive workshop + a 30-minute optional (but encouraged) reflective conversation and Q&A.

SUMMARY:Are They/Am I “Disabled” or Do They/I “Have a Disability”? Evolving and Self-Identifying (Dis)ability Language
DESCRIPTION:Are They/Am I “Disabled” or Do They/I “Have a Disability”? Evolving and Self-Identifying (Dis)ability Language\nDate: Friday\, May 28th\, 2027 \nTime: 2:00-3:30pm (ADT) / 1:00-2:30pm (EDT) / 10:00-11:30am (PCT) \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \n\n\n One of the most beautiful things about language is that it is alive—ever growing\, shifting\, and evolving in response to those who use it. And one of the trickiest things about language is that it is always growing\, shifting\, and evolving. Words\, phrases\, and terms pertaining to disability have been recorded for centuries and millennia\, used by some to marginalize and oppress\, and by others to define and emancipate themselves and their communities. \nIn our teaching and learning spaces\, the language we and our students use can marginalize and oppress\, or recognize and emancipate\, those (of us) who identify as persons with a disability\, or who are defined by others as persons with a disability. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll tease apart and grapple with a few English terms and phrases from long ago to present day\, and if we’re fortunate\, some may be able to contribute words and phrases from additional languages. We’ll ask questions such as: \n\nWhose language is this\, and why are they using it?\nWhat is the implied or intended meaning of this word/phrase\, and what is its potential impact? What is “person-first\,” self-identifying\, and deficit language\, and where are there tensions in the language we use today\, pertaining to disability?\nHow do we navigate these tensions in our classrooms?\n\nNote: This workshop includes a 60-minute interactive workshop + a 30-minute optional (but encouraged) reflective conversation and Q&A.
