Graduate Teaching Toolkit: Fostering Student Engagement with Universal Design for Learning

Date: Tuesday, September 10, 2024, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Location: Ohio Union Interfaith Prayer & Reflection Room

Cost: Free

Many graduate students will confront the challenges associated with course design: either as a graduate student instructor, while preparing materials for the academic job market, or in their early career post-graduation. This semester, in Graduate Teaching Toolkit, the Drake Institute’s workshop series for graduate instructors, we’ll explore each step of the course design process. Toolkit workshops are designed to support participants’ professional development, engage them in reflecting on, discussing, and sharing their teaching practices, and build community between graduate instructors on campus who are passionate about improving their teaching. All graduate students, regardless of teaching experience, are welcome to attend.

 

  • In this workshop, we will explore the first principle of Universal Design for Learning: Engagement. Participants will be introduced to strategies to recruit and sustain student interest and effort and foster an inclusive classroom environment.     

      As a result of attending this workshop, participants will be better able to...

  • Understand the first principle of the Universal Design for Learning framework: Engagement 
  • Articulate what an inclusive classroom environment means in their specific teaching context 
  • Identify techniques for sustaining student interest
