Faculty Development Catalog

Faculty Development Catalog 2017–2018

Welcome Welcome to the 2017-2018 Faculty Development Catalog This catalog is the culmination of the Office of Faculty Development’s second attempt to effectively organize the many different development opportunities available to faculty across the College. As in last year’s catalog, we have distributed the various offerings across broader themes or tracks and we list the grant, award and recognition opportunities available to faculty, and the main faculty events (both within SLCC and the region).

Based on feedback from faculty, we collaborated with the various offices and individuals who contribute to this catalog to explore fresh approaches to development.

While some offerings remain the same, you will see new ideas in this catalog. We hope these new ideas will provide you with meaningful professional development this year.

It is clear that the workshop approach to faculty development works adequately as an introduction to a topic but its lasting effect is severely limited. Further, events either serve as an entry into a process or celebrate the culmination of that process, but, ultimately, meaningful faculty development cannot be found in an event.

Therefore, the 2017-2018 Faculty Development Catalog provides sequenced opportunities for in-depth development so that faculty can build toward meaningful goals. These opportunities—courses, designations and certifications—provide multiple types of sequenced development that will truly impact your teaching and professional goals. You will see, for instance, a designation in working with writing from students who are English Language Learners from Writing Across the College. The Universal Design coordinator continues to

offer a designation for those faculty who take a prescribed sequence of trainings. The Office of eLearning offers a certification opportunity in the Quality Matters rubric.

Additionally, two college-wide opportunities this year are worth pointing out. First, the Transparency in Teaching project will begin with a visit on October 19 from Dr. Mary-Ann Winkelmes, director of Instructional Development and Research at UNLV. Transparent Teaching is an officially-designated project with the American Association of Colleges and Universities that has been shown to improve student retention and persistence among underrepresented students.

Next, we are excited to announce the faculty development book for the year: The Spark of Learning: Energizing the Classroom with the Science of Emotion

by Sarah Rose Cavanagh. Cavanagh helps us understand how we can harness the power of emotion to benefit student learning. Like last year’s book, James Lang’s Small Teaching, we encourage faculty to form Teaching Circles around The Spark of Learning. Dr. Cavanagh will visit SLCC on March 9 to conduct morning and afternoon workshops on energizing the classroom with the science of emotion.

We hope you use this catalog as a tool to support your professional growth and that it provides you with the resources you need to plan your development for the academic year. The office of Faculty Development is always at your service to help you meet your professional development goals. Contact me, Jason Pickavance, or any member of Faculty Development staff to let us know how we can support you and your work at Salt Lake Community College.

Have a great 2017-2018 year!

How to Use This Catalog Faculty Development schedules various offerings from this catalog across the academic year. Some workshops (like those from eLearning and ePortfolio) will offer multiple iterations while others that have a potentially smaller audience will be offered less frequently. Before you get absorbed in the semester, plan your professional development and register now for workshops, courses and events. If you see something that you want to participate in, but the schedule doesn’t work for you, contact the Faculty Development director or talk with your administrator to build your own professional development plans (see “Note to Academic Administrators”).

A note to academic administrators: The Office of Faculty Development works with academic departments and schools to offer more localized professional development. We partner with departments to build a professional development experience targeted to faculty needs. Use this catalog as a tool for building departmentspecific or school-specific professional development opportunities. Let the office of Faculty Development support your area in planning the content, coordinating sessions and building registration.

A note about courses and designations In addition to offering individual workshops, providing grants and supporting projects, the office of Faculty Development is partnering with various areas of the College to provide more sequenced professional development opportunities.

A course is a stand-alone experience authored by one area of the College. For instance, eLearning is offering some online courses this year. With a designation, a faculty member goes through a track and builds their own sequenced development experience. Both courses and designations culminate in a digital credential that faculty can include in their ePortfolio.

Teaching Circles Teaching Circles consist of a group of faculty within a department or across multiple disciplines who meet over the course of a semester or academic year to read, discuss and reflect upon a book about teaching and learning. Teaching circles are an excellent way for faculty to keep up on some of the latest scholarship on this topic. Popular books in previous years have included The Discussion Book: 50 Great Ways to Get People Talking, Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning, and What the Best College Teachers Do. The office of Faculty Development sponsors a number of Teaching Circles throughout the year. Faculty are encouraged to form a teaching circle and then choose either one of the two designated faculty development books for the year (The Spark of Learning or High-Impact ePortfolio Practice) or select a book of their choosing.

Please contact facultydevelopment@slcc.edu with questions about how to form a Teaching Circle and/or for book ideas.

Faculty Development and Training Opportunities

FACULTY DEVELOPMENT BOOKS OF THE YEAR The Spark of Learning: Energizing the College Classroom with the Science of Emotion The Faculty Development book of the year will be The Spark of Learning: Energizing the College Classroom with the Science of Emotion by Sarah Rose Cavanagh. Dr. Cavanagh will visit Salt Lake Community College on March 8, 2018 to conduct workshops on energizing the classroom with the science of emotion.

“Historically we have constructed our classrooms with the assumption that learning is a dry, staid affair best conducted in quiet tones and ruled by an unemotional consideration of facts. The field of education, however, is beginning to awaken to the potential power of emotions to fuel learning, informed by contributions from psychology and neuroscience. In friendly, readable prose, Sarah Rose Cavanagh argues that if you as an educator want to capture your students’ attention, harness their working memory, bolster their long-term retention and enhance their motivation, you should consider the emotional impact of your teaching style and course design. To make this argument, she brings to bear a wide range of evidence from the study of education, psychology and neuroscience and she provides practical examples of successful classroom activities from a variety of disciplines in secondary and higher education.”

Sarah Rose Cavanagh is an associate professor of psychology at Assumption College, where she also serves as associate director of grants and research in the Center for Teaching Excellence.

In addition to department-led Teaching Circles, the office of Faculty Development will hold a number of Spark of Learning discussions throughout the academic year. These forums will be led by professors from the SLCC Psychology Department. Please contact facultydevelopment@slcc.edu to inquire into joining a Spark of Learning Teaching Circle and getting a complimentary copy of the book.

High-Impact ePortfolio Practice: A Catalyst for Student, Faculty and Institutional Learning The Office of Learning Advancement book of the year is High-Impact ePortfolio Practice. With the recent inclusion of ePortfolio as the eleventh HIP (high-impact practice), Bret Enyon and Laura Gambino’s High-Impact ePortfolio Practice has come at a relevant time. Using a blend of research and practical examples, Enyon and Gambino provide a pragmatic guide to using ePortfolios in authentic ways that lead to powerful student engagement with learning and life experiences. In addition, Enyon and Gambino demonstrate why integrative ePortfolio practice and pedagogy is becoming increasingly important on college campuses today. If you are interested in participating in a High-Impact ePortfolio Practice discussion, please contact Emily Dibble at emily.dibble@slcc.edu.

Faculty Development Catalog 2017–2018

Transparency in Learning and Teaching Project Dr. Mary-Ann Winkelmes Date and time to be announced.

The Unwritten Rules of College: Creating Transparent Assignments that Increase Underserved College Students’ Success Transparent teaching/learning practices make learning processes explicit while offering opportunities to foster students’ metacognition, confidence and their sense of belonging in college. A 2016 Association of American Colleges & Universities publication identifies transparent assignment design as a replicable teaching intervention that significantly enhances students’ learning and retention, with greater gains for historically underserved students. We’ll review the findings as well as educational research behind the concept of transparent teaching/ learning in this session. Then we’ll apply that research to the design of class activities and assignments.

Participants will leave with a draft assignment or activity for one of their courses and a concise set of strategies for designing transparent assignments that promote students’ learning equitably. Interested faculty are invited to join a follow-up conversation about engaging with this pedagogy as a contributing researcher.

SCHOLARSHIP OF TEACHING AND LEARN ING (SOTL)

Introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)

Faculty who engage with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning understand their teaching as a scholarly activity.

Engaging with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is at the heart of any faculty member’s development at SLCC. It happens both within the discipline, in the form of specialized journal articles, conferences and other professional development opportunities. But it can also happen more broadly as faculty engage the latest research on teaching and learning.

Want to use your teaching as an opportunity to engage in scholarship? This workshop will introduce you to the field of The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and help you understand your own teaching as a scholarly activity. Finally, participants will come away with some ideas about how they might embark on SoTL projects of their own.

(Workshop, 1 hr.).

Teaching Self-Regulated Learning Skills in Class and Online Ryan Holcomb, Assistant Professor, Chemistry Self-regulated learning is a skill that is highly correlated with student success. It is empowered through metacognition, strategic action and a motivation to learn. It can be taught in the classroom and online by engaging students in the process of goal setting, planning and self reflection. In this workshop we will explore a number of simple strategies to teach self-regulated learning and enhance student learning outcomes. (Workshop, 1 hr.)

Dealing with “Fake News,” “Alternative Facts” and “Factoids.”

K.B. Hom, Adjunct Faculty, Communication How do we help our students become productive, critical, lifelong media consumers? How can we help students think critically and develop information literacy skills? Participants will be introduced to the use of critical thinking in improving media consumption, classic journalism questions, critical questions, keywords and concepts for examining media. This presentation will include an exercise to help our students develop and recognize their own personal critical questions.

(Workshop, 1 hr.)

How Do Our SLCC Students Learn? Adult Learning Theory Basics Ann Fillmore, Assistant Professor, English What do we know about the ways in which people learn and retain information? Which strategies and methods work best for adult community college students? What kinds of activities, assignments and assessments best motivate and support adult learners? In this workshop, we will discuss the basics of cognitive/brain-based learning theory as well as adult learning pedagogy (called andragogy) to increase our understanding of what motivates and resonates with adult students. (Workshop, 1 hr.).

Jason Pickavance, Director of Faculty Development and Educational Initiatives

Strategies to Help Your Students Read Within Your Discipline Ann Fillmore, Assistant Professor, English College students take many different classes, learning and applying different concepts, skills and ways of thinking that vary across disciplines. But what about reading skills? The way a student approaches and engages with texts is not one-sizefits-all. Strategies that prove effective in one class (or discipline) may not prove so in another. Therefore, one’s reading strategies should be determined by many factors such as the content, genre and ultimately, the assignment(s). In this workshop, you will learn how to engage your students with readings by determining which strategies prove most effective, based on your classes and discipline. (Workshop, 1 hr.).

Constructing Effective Learning Outcomes Tom Zane, Learning Outcomes Coordinator Faculty are often called upon as part of the curriculum process to write learning outcomes for courses and programs.

Yet many of us lack training in what counts as an appropriate learning outcome. In this workshop, we will walk you through the basics of composing effective learning outcomes.

Digital Annotation: Tools, Resources and Pedagogies Benjamin Solomon, Assistant Professor, English This workshop examines digital annotation tools like Genius and Hypothesis, and explores how teachers can use digital annotation to help students engage with readings on the web and elsewhere. (Workshop, 1 hr.)

You Have a Teaching Philosophy, but What About a Learning Philosophy?

Ann Fillmore, Assistant Professor, English We all have a philosophy of teaching, but do you have a philosophy of learning? During this interactive workshop, you will be encouraged to reflect on your own learning experiences as well as the learning processes you observe within your classrooms. We will address topics relating to how people learn as well as the factors that drive one’s motivation to learn.

By the end of this session, you will identify and articulate your beliefs about learning in order to craft your own Philosophy of Learning to accompany your Philosophy of Teaching.

(Workshop, 1 hr.).

Faculty Development and Training Opportunities

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

• Do you ever 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.

• Are you unsure about how to create your annual assessment plans or reports? Do you want to get some help with building one or both of your products? We offer hands-on workshops that will provide the skills and time to build both your assessment plans and reports with expert help.

These are just four examples of the kinds of assessmentrelated issues that are covered under assessment.

Assessment Planning Workshop (Beginners) Tom Zane, Learning Outcomes Coordinator This is a 90-minute workshop designed especially for faculty who are new to learning outcomes assessment at Salt Lake Community College. The workshop provides you with the skills to develop your own assessment plan. You will learn how to select the best items to assess and how to assess them.

Then you will work with the workshop leader to develop your plan. You can leave the workshop with a draft plan, ready for department approvals and submission to the Assessment Office. (Workshop, 90 minutes)

Assessment Planning Workshop (Intermediate to Advanced) Tom Zane, Learning Outcomes Coordinator This is a two-hour workshop designed especially for faculty who are experienced with basic learning outcomes assessment at Salt Lake Community College and are ready to learn more. In the first half of the workshop, you will receive materials, templates and ideas for deeper and more advanced methods for assessing learning. Our focus will include such things as college-wide outcomes, performance measures, developing plans for multiple courses and assessing reflection. In the second hour of the workshop, you will receive one-on-one mentoring to help you develop more advanced assessment plans that address your specific needs.

(Workshop, 2 hr.)

Assessment Report Workshop Tom Zane, Learning Outcomes Coordinator This is a two-hour workshop designed especially for faculty who are relatively new to learning outcomes assessment reporting at Salt Lake Community College – but we welcome anyone who would like a little help completing their assessment report. The workshop provides you with the skills and time to develop your own assessment report. (Workshop, 2 hr.)

Critical Thinking 1: Assignment Development Tom Zane, Learning Outcomes Coordinator We will work together to design an assignment that collects evidence of critical thinking in conjunction with meeting your course objective(s). Participants will leave the workshop with a blueprint for completing their assignment. In addition, assignment authors can then send finished products to the workshop facilitator for review and feedback if desired.

(Workshop, 1 hr.)

Critical Thinking 2: Rubric Development Tom Zane, Learning Outcomes Coordinator

ePortfolio Connecting Disciplines using GIS Course Facilitator: Adam Dastrup, Associate Professor, Geoscience Digital mapping technology such as geographic information systems (GIS) has quickly become an important skill set in a broad range of disciplines. In the classroom, GIS is often considered a form of high impact practice because of the technology’s ability to help students improve their quantitative literacy, information literacy, critical thinking, and communication skills across multiple disciplines. From a general education perspective, signature assignments using GIS could help students create artifacts that focus on changing spatial patterns that connect across disciplines. This 4-week professional development course will allow faculty from all disciplines to discover ways to integrate free, web-based GIS technology into their existing curriculum.

Digication 101 Emily Dibble, ePortfolio Coordinator

We will work together to create a rubric that you can use to score your students’ submissions and provide them with meaningful feedback on the quality of their critical thinking.

Participants will leave the workshop with a finished scoring tool ready to use with their students’ submissions. Tom Zane will then be available after the workshop for any follow-up reviews and other feedback. Bring one course assignment that requires your students to turn in an artifact – often in writing – but it can also be a video or other artifact – that is capable of showing you their level of critical thinking (e.g., their levels of analysis, evaluation, inference, etc.). (Workshop, 1 hr.)

Since Fall 2016, all new student ePortfolios have been created in Digication. It is very important for faculty to attend this workshop to understand how this new system works.

Topics include how to view and navigate student ePortfolios in Digication, using and creating templates, options for privacy settings and an introduction to the new editor in Digication.

Participants will finish the workshop having created a sample page for one of their courses so they can show students what they expect. (Workshop, 1 hr.)

High-Impact Practices

Emily Dibble, ePortfolio Coordinator

Introduction to High Impact Practices Kati Lewis, Assistant Professor, English Following the lead of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, SLCC has identified 14 High Impact Practices (HIPs) around which it encourages faculty to organize their teaching. HIPs have been shown to be positively related to student retention, deep learning and ultimate success. This session will introduce these practices to attendees, and will also explore the underlying pedagogical characteristics that make them high-impact. (Workshop, 1 hr.)

Developing Excellent Reflection Prompts We want students to be reflective practitioners regardless of their major. What are the theoretical and practical underpinnings of deep reflective practice? This workshop will feature hands-on training in developing more effective reflection prompts for students. Participants will finish the workshop with new or updated reflection prompts for their courses and will write their own reflection for their professional ePortfolio. (Workshop, 1 hr.)

Creating your Faculty Professional Portfolio Presenters: Tiffany Rousculp, Director, Writing Across the College; Emily Dibble, ePortfolio Coordinator This workshop will help you create your professional portfolio in Digication by focusing on collecting and organizing evidence, writing narratives, aligning the portfolio with rank and tenure rubrics, and showcasing yourself as a reflective practitioner in higher education. You will finish the workshop with a great start to your own professional portfolio. You can follow up with individual consultations from WAC or the ePortfolio Office. (Workshop, 90 minutes)

Faculty Development and Training Opportunities

EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVITY 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?

Bruin Voices Sponsored by Roderic Land, Special Assistant to the President Bruin Voices is a series of video speeches with follow-up dialogue among attendees to engage the College on an array of topics, and assist in raising awareness, and building the social and intellectual capacity of the Salt Lake Community College community.

Joshua Stern, September 29 Thoughts Are Things – How To Move From Thinking to Action (Workshop, 90 minutes) Cindy Fierros, October 20 “We’re people with light”: Chicanx spiritual activists transforming education (Workshop, 90 minutes) Jesse Fluetsch, November 17 Beyond Bathrooms: How Transgender Children Are Changing Our Schools for the Better (Workshop, 90 minutes) Gardner Seawright, December 15 Whiteness, and the Everyday Act of Teaching: Embracing the Real-Time Potential and Pitfalls of Antiracist Education (Workshop, 90 minutes)

Cross-Cultural Student Panel Panel Facilitator: Whitney Harris, Gear Up Advisor SLCC prides itself on being the most diverse institution of higher education in the state. We serve students who represent more than 50 countries and collectively speak more than 25 languages; each with unique cultural and lived experiences. The cross-cultural interactions that happen inside and outside the classroom enrich the experience of all parties involved. This student panel will help faculty and staff gain insight into cross-cultural interactions with SLCC students.

Participants will gain a more in-depth understanding of ways to intentionally support and communicate with individuals from a variety of nationalities and cultural backgrounds.

(Panel discussion, 90 min.)

Diversity Across the Curriculum This workshop will assist faculty with re-imagining their course(s) by infusing equity and diversity issues into their classrooms. Drawing on the strengths and benefits of diversity will contribute to the overall experience of both faculty and students engaged in critical learning.

(Workshop, 120 min.)

How Do Our SLCC Students Learn? Adult Learning Theory Basics Ann Fillmore, Assistant Professor, English What do we know about the ways in which people learn and retain information? Which strategies and methods work best for adult community college students? What kinds of activities, assignments, and assessments best motivate and support adult learners? In this workshop, we will discuss the basics of cognitive/brain-based learning theory as well as adult learning pedagogy (called andragogy) in order to increase our understanding of what motivates and resonates with adult students.

College Student Mental Health: What You Should Know and What You Can Do Scott Kadera, Counseling Services The purpose of this presentation is twofold: first, to increase awareness of the current status and dimensions of mental health problems among today’s college students; and second, to provide strategies to assist faculty and staff to intervene effectively with students with mental health problems to get them the help they need. A broad range of topics are covered including college student mental health as it relates to issues of inclusivity, stigma, academic impact, and the causes and indicators of distress. Also covered are practical strategies for making contact with students in distress, dealing with students at risk for suicide, and referring students with mental health issues to appropriate campus resources.

MySuccess powered by Starfish

Unveiling the Unconscious

Ashley Sokia, Coordinator, Student Retention Systems

Dr. Roderic Land, Special Assistant to the President

Learn how to report on your students’ progress using SLCC’s new early alert and online referral system. This session will include how to set up your MySuccess profile, complete early alert progress surveys, identify a student’s academic advisor and support network members, and send feedback to your students that keeps their network in the loop.

Recent work has shown that we all carry with us implicit biases. Biases can have a significant impact on communication, decision-making, perceptions and beliefs about others. Does unconscious bias also impact the way we teach? Does it impact the way we develop curriculum? How can someone’s race, gender, age, or other characteristics influence how we see and treat them even when we are genuinely trying to be unbiased? What concrete steps can we take to help prevent this from happening? To help answer these questions, this workshop introduces the concept of implicit bias. Through presentations, lively activities and discussions, we will explore some harmful side effects of how our brains naturally perceive, categorize and draw inferences about the world, including other people. Participants will learn how to explore their own personal unconscious biases, and be introduced to approaches that may help them be conscious and aware of how their biases may play out in how they teach and develop curriculum. (Workshop, 2 hr.)

LGBTQ+ Awareness (Part 1) This two-hour training will provide an overview of LGBTQ+ information, including terminology, history, privilege and contemporary issues, laws and social movements. This training is intended for anyone who would like to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community and how to be a better ally.

(Workshop, 2 hr.)

Safer Zone/Ally Training (Part 2) For those who have completed part I of LGBTQ+ Awareness Training, take it to the next level with LGBTQ+ Awareness, Part II. We will go into greater depth on issues affecting LGBTQ+ members of our college community, as well as how to make our campus inclusive. Upon successful completion of this training, you will have the option to receive and display an “I am an LGBTQ+ Ally; You are welcome here” sign in your work area. (Workshop, 2 hr.)

Supporting and Retaining Refugee and Immigrant Students Kamal Bewar, Academic Advisor, Financial Aid Office This workshop will explore how faculty and staff can understand SLCC students’ cultural background, and lend support to these students. As a faculty and staff member, this session will help you learn more about a growing group of students who are here as refugees and immigrants in SLCC’s campus community.

(Workshop, 1 hr.)

What Works in the Retention of First-Year Students?

An Introduction to Student Retention Theory and Best Practices Richard Diaz, Director, First Year Experience What is student retention, and why is it becoming more and more important? How do student retention theories inform best campus practices? What can I do to support retention initiatives through my work? These guiding questions will be addressed in this presentation with the intent of introducing faculty and student development practitioners to the science behind an institution’s efforts to retain and graduate their student body through meaningful and high-quality experiences. (Workshop, 1 hr.)

Faculty Development and Training Opportunities

Student Veterans 101 Michael Foster, VetSuccess On Campus Counselor, Dept. of Veteran Affairs This presentation is delivered from the perspective of Education, VA Health Care and VA Benefits. We will provide an overview of veterans’ strengths and difficulties they face, including readjustment after deployment, posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and depression. We will review community and VA resources available to veterans, and will provide tips for college faculty and staff for working effectively with student veterans including ways to be “Veteran Friendly”.

(Workshop, 1 hr.)

Title IX: What You Should Know Ken Stonebrook, Dean of Students and Assistant Vice President SLCC is committed to providing a safe and non-discriminatory learning and working environment for all members of the College community. Sexual misconduct, in all its forms, is an issue on college campuses across the country, and SLCC is no exception. As part of our ongoing campus awareness/prevention efforts, this Title IX training will inform faculty and staff on how to prevent, respond to and report sexual violence, and other forms of sexual misconduct. This training will explore approaches that can be used to develop mutually respectful work environments.

Undocumented Student Ally Training

Course Facilitator: Richard Diaz, Director, First Year Experience Local and national policies continually affect the access undocumented students have to higher education.

In light of high educational aspirations, the misinformation, lack of information and constant apprehension faced by undocumented students make them a vulnerable population for not enrolling or succeeding in higher education. This online Canvas course seeks to ameliorate these informational shortcomings by providing an overview of the current landscape impacting undocumented students; laying the foundation for understanding state and national policies affecting this population; and describing the process through which faculty and staff can serve as a resource to students who are undocumented. To sign up for this course please send an e-mail to Richard Diaz at richard.diaz@slcc.edu (Online course, 4 hours)

Equity and Diversity Designation In the Equity and Diversity Designation, the focus will be on both the research and practice associated with achieving equity in student achievement.

Life Mapping Workshop Jude Higgins, Associate Professor, Anthropology Often we plan our careers around goals and “logical next steps.” But according to Danielle LaPorte, we aren’t chasing the goal—we’re chasing the feeling that we hope the goal will give us. She thinks that every craving, aspiration, or goal we have is driven by a desire to feel a certain way. She’s designed a method that allows us to plan our Life Maps around our core desired feelings, so that we end up with a holistic life planning map, which we then can use as a guide for living a soul-centered life.

This workshop will introduce you to the concept of Core Desired Feelings (CDF), offer ways that will help you define your own personal CDFs and offer tools that will allow you to begin to apply them to all the major areas of your life: livelihood and lifestyle, body and wellness, creativity and learning, relationships and society, and essence and spirituality.

GRANTS Faculty Development and the Office of Sponsored Projects: Fellows, Stipends, and Grants This year, Faculty Development and the Office of Sponsored Projects are partnering in an effort to more effectively engage individual faculty in grant and research work. We are offering faculty fellowships, grant development scholars, and department research block grants. For questions contact jason.pickavance@slcc.edu or nicole.omer@slcc.edu

Faculty Fellows Faculty fellows propose a project designed to assess some element of their teaching or course design with the goal of better understanding how they can support student success.

The project must be situated within existing scholarship in teaching and learning, and be linked to College goals and priorities. The faculty member designs the experiment and conducts the research, gathering data with the help of Institutional Research or other entities. Reports on results are due in the summer. Faculty are encouraged to translate their reports into conference presentations, papers, or external grant proposals. Several tracks may be offered, emphasizing specific outcomes or different areas of research or development. A call for proposals will go out in the fall with an application due date soon after. Fellows are awarded stipends of up to $2,000.

Grant Development Scholars The Office of Sponsored Projects is soliciting candidates to develop grant applications for submission to a federal or state agency. Projects must be innovative and support College goals and priorities. The accepted candidates will form a cohort that will attend trainings and receive coaching as a group and individually. The stipend will be conditional upon development and submission of a competitive proposal. The size of the stipend will depend on the size and scope of the proposal. A call for proposals will be released in the Fall and applications will be due soon after. The process is estimated to last six months to one year, depending on the grant submission deadline.

Department Research Block Grants Members from individual or multiple departments or divisions will conduct research projects to promote and coordinate scholarship at the College. Grants will fund personnel time, supplies, and other items necessary to complete the project. The Office of Sponsored Projects is soliciting projects that will prepare for or result in a grant application to a government agency. Projects may be tied to other initiatives at the College.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Grant The Special Assistant to the President seeks to leverage faculty, staff and student-driven innovation to improve the recruitment and retention efforts of diverse faculty, staff and students. Known as the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Grant (EDI), this initiative will challenge faculty, staff and students to conceive and implement projects that advance campus diversity.

Beginning September 4, 2017, the Special Assistant to the President will be soliciting proposals from faculty, staff and student organizations for the implementation of diversity and inclusion initiatives and projects that impact underrepresented/underserved communities. The maximum of each awarded grant is $2,000.

Faculty, staff and student organizations are encouraged to submit proposals that are innovative, impactful and move the needle on diversity for underrepresented/underserved populations.

Proposals for projects or research in one or more of the following target areas are encouraged: • Measurable, meaningful increases in the number of underrepresented faculty, staff and students on campus.

• Create a welcoming and inclusive campus environment where differences are respected and valued, and opportunities for success are supported for all students, staff and faculty.

• Enhancing competency within our community.

Prioritizing the use of resources both to raise awareness of how others may perceive the campus climate and to take steps to improve it.

Grant proposals will be accepted starting on September 4, 2017, and are due October 6, 2017.
