Faculty Development Catalog 2016–2017

Welcome Welcome to the 2016-2017 SLCC Faculty Development Catalog. This catalog represents a first attempt to better organize faculty development opportunities across the College. It includes workshops on effective teaching and how to better use technology in and out of the classroom. We also focus on areas like universal design, inclusivity, and library and information sciences. Faculty are increasingly expected to know and do things across a wide range of disciplines beyond their own. We are supposed to be content experts, inclusive teachers, course designers, technologists and assessment experts. This catalog represents that reality.

An attempt has been made to organize these offerings into larger clusters or categories. For now, we have selected the term track. The longer-term goal will be to offer more sequenced development opportunities that could lead toward some designation or certification that has value within the institution.

We have a distributed model of development. The Office of Faculty Development neither owns nor builds the bulk of the offerings you will find in this catalog. Instead, we have identified the various areas of expertise across the College. Two things will happen this coming year to help faculty better access training and development. First, we will better organize our offerings (hence this catalog). Second, faculty will be informed well ahead of time as to what is offered and when. We will schedule training and development opportunities at least one semester ahead.

Consider this catalog a tool you can use to help plan your professional development and a contribution to the conversation we are currently having about what we mean by faculty development. We welcome your thoughts, contributions and constructive suggestions.

Ultimately, professional development is a shared endeavor. It belongs to all of us.

Faculty Development Tracks

Authentic Teaching, Leadership and Communication This track provides faculty members with the opportunity to pause, reflect and consider what originally motivated him or her to become an educator. In addition, this track focuses on how we can have better conversations with one another and how those conversations can support or hinder our development.

Opportunities include training through our Center for Authentic Leadership and Mindfulness (C.A.L.M.), workshops on Crucial Conversations offered by certified trainers and a workshop on Non-Violent Communication led by Associate Professor of Psychology, Katerina Salini.

C.A.L.M. Soni Adams, Associate Dean of Lifetime Activities, soni.adams@slcc.edu Crucial Conversations, Shirene McKay, Associate Professor of Communications, shirene.mckay@slcc.edu, Jodie Jones, Assistant Professor of Communications, jodie.jones@slcc.edu Non-Violent Communication, Katerina Salini, katerina.salini@slcc.edu

Department-Based Development Opportunities Various areas of the College offer training and development opportunities specific to their needs. Typically, this training focuses on how faculty can better take advantage of the department’s resources and opportunities.

The SLCC Publication Center—Publication Pedagogy & Practice: A Professional Development Series In this project-based professional development series, we integrate publication theory and practice in the studio setting of the Publication Center. Participants will receive personal coaching and mentoring. At the completion of each sequence, we certify relevant knowledge of theory in publication, circulation and design, as well as hands-on practical knowledge. In each sequence, participants will self-design a project for a classroom or workshop setting.

The series is organized into four sequences. They are designed to be taken in order, but after the first sequence the other three can be taken in any order.

Lisa Bickmore, Professor of English, lisa.bickmore@slcc.edu Charlotte Howe, Assistant Professor of English, charlotte.howe@slcc.edu

Thayne Center Community Conversation Series Join collegial conversations focused on furthering the mission of the Thayne Center. We believe institutions of higher education have a responsibility to cultivate an engaged citizenry. We are dedicated to empowering our students and faculty to realize they have the knowledge and skills to affect positive change in their community.

Sean Crossland, Thayne Center Assistant Director, sean.crossland@slcc.edu

The Office of Sponsored Projects In this track, faculty will become familiar with the Office of Sponsored Projects, including what role it plays at the College, how faculty can learn about grant opportunities and how to put together a successful grant proposal.

Faculty Development Catalog 2016–2017

eLearning and Instructional Design The eLearning track is designed to help faculty and staff understand the tools and techniques for designing and delivering effective learning experiences. Areas of focus include designing quality online courses, best practices for teaching online and Canvas tools. The eLearning workshops will help you get comfortable with the technology, then guide you through the creation of exemplary courses that meet the rigorous standards of the Quality Matters rubric. Learn and practice the skills needed to facilitate online courses that are effective and engaging to ensure that students achieve desired learning outcomes.

Robert Lindsay, Assistant Director of eLearning, robert.lindsay@slcc.edu

Inclusion and Diversity Traditionally, Academic Affairs treats diversity as a content issue, relegating it to specific courses. In this model, equity, diversity and inclusion are not seen as collective concerns of faculty, but rather issues for specific faculty within the College. In this track, we encourage you to move beyond thinking about diversity in terms of courses and the responsibility of only some faculty, to thinking about inclusive pedagogical practices (no matter the course) as a collective responsibility. As demographics change, what does this mean for how we teach? How do we engage an increasingly diverse student population?

How do we create more inclusive classroom environments?

Roderic Land, Special Assistant to the President, roderic.land@slcc.ed Shellie Joe Enscoe, Director Office for Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, shellie.enscoe@slcc.edu

Library and Information Science The Library and Information Science track is designed to aid faculty and staff in understanding the scope, range, strategies and resources the library provides to our community. Areas of focus are copyright and information literacy. Copyright looks at creative commons, fair use, public domain, the TEACH Act and how the library can help with these. Information literacy uses the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Competency Standards as a guide to help our students become information literate, as well as information fluent.

Jon Glenn, Director of Library Services, jon.glenn@slcc.edu

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) When faculty engage in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) they position their own teaching as an area of scholarly inquiry. Engaging with the SoTL is at the heart of any faculty member’s development at SLCC. SoTL is relevant within the discipline, in the form of specialized journal articles, conferences and other professional development opportunities, and also more broadly as faculty engage the latest research on teaching and learning. We have divided the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning into four sub-tracks: Assessment, High-Impact Teaching Practices, ePortfolio and Instructional Research and Inquiry.

Assessment Assessment is one part of the teaching and learning process. This track offers one-on-one consulting and workshops designed to help faculty by making teaching easier while improving the chances for learning. For example: • Are you staying up until midnight grading written assignments or papers? We can help by showing you how to adopt or adapt scoring tools that will speed up the process and offer better feedback to students.

• Do you wish you could get your students to think more critically? We can show you some easy methods to begin this process that you might be able to use with your current assignments.

• Are you unsure about alignment between your outcomes and your lessons/assignments/exams? We can provide one-on-one consulting to help you with that.

These are just three examples of the types of assessment-related issues covered in the assessment track.

Tom Zane, Assessment Coordinator, tom.zane@slcc.edu

ePortfolio Salt Lake Community College has one of the most robust ePortfolio initiatives in the country. Faculty will learn how to integrate ePortfolios into their classrooms by improving on or designing strong signature assignments and reflection prompts. There will also be workshops to help faculty create their own professional ePortfolios and navigate the new ePortfolio platform (Digication).

Emily Dibble, ePortfolio Coordinator, emily.dibble@slcc.edu

Faculty Development Tracks

High-Impact Teaching Practices According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities, High Impact Practices (HIPs) “take many different forms, depending on learner characteristics and on institutional priorities and contexts.” Through intentional course and program design, experiential and focused pedagogies, as well as collaboration and community building, HIPs have been shown to enhance student learning and help close achievement gaps across student populations. The workshops in this professional development track will help faculty integrate appropriate HIPs-oriented pedagogies into their curricula. Faculty are encouraged to take the HIPs Overview module before attending face-to-face workshops.

David Hubert, Assistant Provost of Learning Advancement, david.hubert@slcc.edu Kati Lewis, Chair, HIPS Committee, kati.lewis@slcc.edu

Instructional Research and Inquiry How do you ask good research questions about your own teaching? How do you collect and analyze data to answer those questions? In this sub-track, Institutional Research will help faculty form reasonable research questions and provide examples of how to clean organize and analyze data, and present findings to an external audience. These workshops will be presented at an introductory level—no prior knowledge will be assumed.

MS Excel will be used for analysis.

Universal Design The Universal Design track helps faculty and staff understand how students with disabilities learn and access information. Participants learn how to create documents and media using accessibility best practices to ensure access for everyone. Topics range from “creating accessible documents” to “video captioning” and “universal design in the classroom.” Workshops taken from this track also count toward the Universal Access Designation, a foundational training achievement for all faculty and staff.

Clint Stoker, Universal Access Initiatives Coordinator, clint.stoker@slcc.edu

Writing Across the College The Writing Across the College track is designed to responsively support faculty and staff across many writing areas. Support for writing in the classroom, writing in the workplace and writing in the professions is available through a range of formats. Mini-Vids briefly introduce important issues regarding writing, teaching and learning.

Transforming Talks take an in-depth look at fundamental issues in writing and writing instruction at SLCC. Workshops engage participants in hands-on experiences to improve writing instruction and writing for professional goals. Individual, small-group and department consulting is available by request.

Tiffany Rousculp, Director of Writing Across the College, tiffany.rousculp@slcc.edu

Jeff Webb, Director of Institutional Research, jeffrey.webb@slcc.edu

The Utah Education Network (UEN) SLCC Faculty Development has renewed its relationship with the Utah Education Network. UEN trainings focus on how we integrate technology into our teaching. They offer a number of valuable workshops and online courses designed to support faculty in effectively using technology to engage students.

Faculty Development Catalog 2016–2017

Faculty Development and Learning Advancement Teaching Circles This year, the offices of Faculty Development and Learning Advancement will be leading two teaching circles focused on two recent books, Small Teaching and Leveraging the ePortfolio for Integrative Learning. We believe there is value when a critical mass of faculty and academic administrators read the same book and engage in college-wide discussions on teaching and learning. Discussions of both books will culminate in visits from the respective authors in Spring 2017. Dr. James Lang will visit SLCC on March 9, 2017 to present on small teaching strategies and conduct workshops. Candyce Reynolds will visit SLCC on March 30, 2017 to present on ePortfolios for integrative learning.

Small Teaching by James Lang James Lang provides an accessible summary of established learning science around spaced retrieval practice, prediction, interleaving and the roles motivation and emotion play in a student’s learning. But Lang’s real contribution is to help us translate this knowledge into classroom practice. He argues that small, incremental changes can produce meaningful improvements in the classroom.

If you are interested in participating in a Faculty Development and Learning Advancement-led discussions of Small Teaching, or if you want to start a Small Teaching group of your own, contact Jason Pickavance at jason.pickavance@slcc.edu

Leveraging the ePortfolio for Integrative Learning

by Candyce Reynolds and Judith Patton

With over 15 years of experience at Portland State University using ePortfolios in two different disciplines, Reynolds and Patton write about ePortfolio as a pedagogy rather than a technology. ePortfolio pedagogy—with its emphasis on collecting artifacts, connecting them in various ways and reflecting upon one’s work—is inherently integrative, but doesn’t always succeed. Reynolds and Patton situate ePortfolios in the literature of integration and provide practical advice and techniques that faculty can immediately incorporate into their courses. If you are interested in participating in a Leveraging the ePortfolio for Integrative Learning group, contact Emily Dibble at emily.dibble@slcc.edu.

Equity and Inclusion Inclusive Excellence This workshop explores the essentials of developing a shared understanding of inclusivity and equity. As language is so vital to our shared experiences, participants will explore definitions of inclusivity, equity and diversity. A major component of SLCC’s Mission is open access—a critical component that has long been part of our culture given our belief that diverse perspectives, life experiences and cultures fundamentally enrich the learning environment. Participants will think about their role in managing their own biases and stereotypes and help foster a community that continually engages in this important work. (Workshop, 60 minutes) Facilitator: Shellie Joe Enscoe, Director of the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs

Diversity Across the Curriculum As one looks at demographic trends in the U.S., major changes have occurred. In light of these developments, every faculty member who stands before a class has a responsibility to incorporate both content and methods that meet the needs of a diverse student body to prepare them to enter a multicultural, globalized society. This seminar provides a practical guide for college faculty members to efficiently and effectively create culturallyinclusive courses and learning environments across disciplines.

Facilitator: Roderic Land, Special Advisor to the Presdent, roderic.land@slcc.edu

Cracking the Codes: Implicit Bias & Systems of Inequity Implicit bias describes the automatic association people make between groups of people and stereotypes about those groups. Under certain conditions, those automatic associations can influence behavior—making people respond in biased ways even when they are not explicitly prejudiced. Discussions of implicit bias tend to focus on implicit racial biases; however, implicit bias can be expressed in relation to non-racial factors, including gender, age, religion or sexual orientation. As with all types of bias, implicit bias can distort one’s perception and subsequent treatment either in favor of or against a given person or group. This seminar seeks to explore participants’ implicit bias, how it impacts our engagement with others and the implications it has in classroom settings.

Writing Across the College The WAC@SLCC program provides four levels of support for writing instruction and writing in your professional activities.

Mini-Videos These 5-10 minute videos introduce you to important issues regarding how we use writing in teaching and learning. They can be watched on your own or used as starting points for larger discussions. They are available at WAC SLCC YouTube channel: wac@slcc • The Nitty-Gritty of Writing Assignments • What NOT to Do with ESL Writing • Talking to Students about Writing Assignments • Unlocking the Puzzle of Citation Systems • Why Can’t My Students Write?

• My Students Need Help!

Transforming Talks These longer videos take an in-depth look at fundamental issues in writing instruction at SLCC. They can be watched individually or can provide the basis for deep conversations about how we use writing pedagogies to foster student success.

Writing Assignments: What Students and Faculty Should Expect In 2015-2016, students and faculty worked together to establish common expectations for writing assignments at SLCC. This WAC Transforming Talk provides the impetus for this work, what it means and how it will impact teaching and learning.

Working with ESL Writers All of us want to help ESL writers succeed, but few of us know how to do that well. This WAC Transforming Talk explores the circumstances that ESL writers encounter in college writing and provides effective strategies for improving the ESL writing experience for our students.

What Students Learn in Composition…and What They Don’t When faculty assign writing, most assume that their students have taken their English composition course(s) and will be prepared to complete writing assignments on their own. Even if students have finished this requirement 20

(which is often not the case), composition courses cannot prepare students for every writing situation they will encounter in college. This WAC Transforming Talk clearly explains what students learn in their required composition courses and what faculty can do to bridge from that learning to successful writing in their program areas.

What College Writing Looks Like: The Student Perspective Many perspectives of college writing come from the faculty viewpoint. They lament the quality of student writing and express frustrations about “students these days.” This WAC Transforming Talk looks at writing through the SLCC student lens. How do students encounter writing in college; assignments, professors and writing instruction? Listening to our students’ perspectives can provide us with valuable insights into how we might all work better together.

Faculty Development and Training Opportunities

Workshops Faculty can enroll in these hands-on workshops that explore issues related to writing instruction and writing for our own professional development and goals.

WAWA: Writing Awesome Writing Assignments How do your writing assignments rate for awesomeness? Are they interesting and engaging? Do they produce great student writing that you enjoy? This 90-minute workshop will take your old writing assignment(s) and make them awesome through smallgroup activities. One in early fall and one in early spring.

(Workshop, 90 minutes)

Super Sabbatical Proposals Are you planning on a sabbatical next year? Take this 90-minute workshop to learn how to write a proposal that rocks. Enrollment includes follow-up consultation from the WAC director on sabbatical proposal drafts. (Workshop, 90 minutes)

What Should I Evaluate? Building Confident Responses to Student Writing Faculty have to evaluate student writing, but very few of us have ever been taught how to do it. This can lead to ineffective response, but we’re too afraid to ask for support or direction. In this two-part 90-minute workshop series, faculty will experience a supportive environment to share grading concerns and learn strategies to build confident responses for students. (Workshop, 2 x 90 minutes)

Writing for Academic Publication: Canvas Course and Writing Support Group Even though SLCC faculty are teachers first, we are scholars as well. In fact, we are the knowledge-makers of higher education pedagogy, in addition to other areas of research and expertise. Getting that knowledge out in the public forum can be hard without support. This WAC Canvas course and support group provides information and collegiality to get your writing done. Complete the Canvas course and then attend the monthly meetings to write.

Enrollment includes individual consultation from the WAC director on writing projects. (Online and a bi-weekly meeting)

Consulting The WAC@SLCC program offers individual, small-group and department consulting on any writing concern for your teaching (e.g. syllabi, assignments, Canvas pages, grading) and for your own professional activities (e.g. tenure portfolios, publications, conference proposals, sabbatical requests). Contact 801- 957- 3232 or wac@slcc.edu

President’s Leadership Institute Salt Lake Community College President’s Leadership Institute will provide faculty, staff and administration an opportunity to be introspective, interactive and collaborative in an effort towards becoming better and transformative leaders.

The project is a high-impact teaching practice, serving as a capstone to integrate knowledge, promote creativity and higher-order thinking and embed community-based learning. This talk will focus on the development and planned growth of the project as well as student outcomes.

Finally, a discussion on how to develop similar projects within other disciples will be presented.

Claire Peterson, “Modeling Civic Engagement for Students” Students often feel disenfranchised in relation to their ability to connect with global issues and in their capabilities to affect meaningful change or influence. Developing curriculum and facilitating opportunities for students to gain awareness and become involved with local organizations that tackle global issues on a local scale can provide meaningful opportunities for engagement and highlight the potential of students’ political and social efficacy. In order to do this effectively, it is important for faculty to participate in development opportunities that facilitate personal growth, development and awareness of global issues and their associated implications for our local environment. By modeling this awareness and participation, faculty can provide students with accurate and up-to-date curriculum and opportunities.

David Davenport and Connie Spanton-Jex “Teaching ASL with Technology” This course looks at the integration of technology into American Sign Language. Experiments using iPads, the Swivl and GoReact video feedback are discussed. The use of these these technologies to provide students with feedback, to record and flip our class sessions and as tools to reflect upon our own teaching practice are explored. The course will cover the challenges and successes of pilot efforts and technology plans going forward.

Utah Women in Higher Education Network (UWHEN), April 7, 2017, Price UT The Utah Women in Higher Education Network (UWHEN) is part of a national group of networks that carry on the work of the ACE Women’s Network at the American Council on Education (ACE). The SLCC Chapter of UWHEN, which began winter of 2015-16, was started to create an environment of collective empowerment for all women working in higher education at Salt Lake Community College and partnering institutions. The SLCC Chapter invites women of all backgrounds to engage in professional development, networking, mentoring, discussion and action on topics that are important to its members and provide opportunities to develop leadership skills and abilities. The SLCC Chapter has also been charged by President Deneece Huftalin to create opportunities for professional development for women from all levels of employment or leadership.

The annual UWHEN meeting is an opportunity for Utah women in higher education to engage in discussions about leadership, growth and professional development.
