Meet the Newbies! Bring your lunch and enjoy our newest workshop series: Meet the Newbies! This year we welcomed seven new, tenure-track faculty and we invited them to introduce themselves to you. Some faculty will focus on their teaching interests, others will share with you a research topic, and others will cover a bit of both topics. Please join us in welcoming our newest faculty (and enjoy the opportunity to visit with colleagues you normally only get to see in committee meetings).

By creating outcome-based learning objectives, you will identify the most important elements of your course and write learning objectives that articulate what you really mean when you say you want to increase understanding or appreciation. Please have at least one course learning objective/outcome to work with during the workshop. Future workshops in the “Classroom Assessment Made Easy” series include creating grading rubrics, the difference between grading and assessing, and the difference between direct and indirect evidence of student learning. Facebook, MySpace, and Rate My Professors Your students use them, your children are on them, and some of you may have your own online presence, but what do these social networking sites mean to you? Many faculty have questions regarding the use of these sites and exactly what happens when a student posts to their “wall” or adds a hot tamale to their rating. Informal, fun, and enlightening, this session will ease your fears and maybe motivate you to create your own profile. Mark Your Calendars…

Registration Due Date: January 24th, 2008 The Symposium is FREE this year to all faculty! Keynote Presentation Culture in the classroom: Application of traditional and ‘small’ culture approaches An identification of the dynamics of multiple ‘small’ cultures in the classroom is increasingly supplementing the more traditional view of ethnicity as the vehicle of cultural identity. This workshop will begin with an exercise to get participants thinking about cultural differences at the individual level. Next, traditional and new conceptions of culture are presented in some detail. Principles to improve cross-cultural communication in the classroom within the ‘small’ culture framework will then be presented. Critical classroom incidents are discussed and the audience is encouraged to suggest ways to improve communication outcomes Breakout Information: Diversity in the Classroom This session is a roundtable discussion about recognizing and appreciating diversity in the classroom as well as an exchange of ideas and best practices to promote educational excellence through diversity. For those who are able, review of some of the links on the ILTE website is recommended. The Synergy of Diversity: The Effects of Interpersonal Dynamics on Group Work This interactive session will focus on the effects of interpersonal dynamics within the context of a diverse classroom. Whether the group is the entire class or smaller units within the class, the synergistic effect of different cultures can influence the success of the group.
