The Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning April Workshops
Decolonizing Classrooms: Unpacking and Overcoming Barriers to Decolonizing Processes, Part 2
Date and time: Tuesday, April 2, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
The Decolonizing Classroom series aims to give participants the context and tools necessary to meaningfully engage with decolonizing processes as they relate to education. “Unpacking and Overcoming Barriers to Engagement and Decolonizing Processes” explores the barriers that exist for teachers and students, which prevent them from enacting decolonizing processes in educational contexts. Part two of this workshop series discusses the barriers that prevent teachers from engaging fully in decolonizing classrooms and creates a space for the discussion of strategies for overcoming these barriers.
Creating Connections in SoTL: Sharing our Findings
Date and time: Wednesday, April 3, 10:30 AM – 11:45 AM
In the Creating Connections in SoTL series, faculty, instructors, and other UM scholars explore foundational topics in SoTL research, discuss ongoing SoTL projects, make interdisciplinary connections, and receive support from colleagues and Centre SoTL Developers.
This workshop will focus on disseminating SoTL research through conference presentations and publications. We will discuss presentation strategies for communicating research findings that are clear and compelling to an interdisciplinary audience. We will share information about disciplinary and SoTL-focused periodicals that welcome submissions of teaching and learning research. We will also provide time for participants to share their SoTL study progress and provide mutual support.
