Faculty Development Catalog

Faculty Development Catalog 2018–2019

Welcome This is now the third iteration of the Faculty Development Catalog, Salt Lake Community College’s effort to put in one place everything the college offers that might be relevant to a faculty member’s development.

We have thought about the relationship between Pathways work at SLCC and faculty development. One part of Pathways is building structured options for students. While this work matters, equally important is the coordinated faculty effort to build high-impact, meaningful and inclusive educational experiences for students that cohere across course boundaries.

Pathways work may require us to think about our teaching from a different angle.

Consider our signature faculty development events and courses as an opportunity to reflect on your teaching in the light of Pathways reform and recent work in the scholarship of teaching and learning. In early October, Laura Gambino and Bret Eynon will conduct a workshop on ePortfolio practice. Their work invites faculty to think about how we might support students in the work of making meaning across courses. In early November, Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy from the University of North Carolina will engage us in a hands-on workshop around inclusive teaching practices. Their work pushes us to transform our traditional understanding of the collegeready student and instead think about how we might build the student-ready college. Finally, Paul Hanstedt, author of Creating Wicked Students will speak on designing courses around wicked problems, courses that motivate student interest in our curriculum and help build intentionality.

We continue to work on building a model of development that moves us away from an exclusive focus on one-and-done workshops and toward more sustained development activities that align with college

goals and priorities. To that end, we are offering a course on Effective Teaching Practices. The year-long course culminates in an external certificate through the American Council on Education. Faculty Development invites all new full-time faculty and selected cohorts of mid-career faculty to participate in the course. Our office is also offering a course called Principles of Effective College Teaching. The library now supports faculty participation in a course through the Creative Commons foundation on Creative Commons licensing for educators. Lengthier development commitments like these are highlighted throughout the catalog.

Faculty Development offers development experiences that promote effective teaching, invite experimentation and support a faculty member’s professional advancement. We want to support SLCC in its efforts to develop a broader culture of teaching and learning with the ultimate goal of increasing student success. Our hope is that you find something in this catalog that speaks to you as a teacher.

The Office of Faculty Development will also be sending emails every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the academic year with reminders and updates on events and workshops.

DIGITAL CREDENTIALS AT SLCC What is a digital credential?

Digital credentials, often called “badging,” is a way for individuals to showcase their skills in an area that does not traditionally have an official degree or certificate connected to it. This micro-way of acknowledging achievement is used in the corporate and non-profit arenas and has been growing in higher education.

Why is SLCC Faculty Development interested in digital credentialing?

Faculty Development advocates faculty achievement that reaches past an introductory level of growth. The digital credentials Faculty Development sponsors include general information on a topic, as well as a deeper dive into pedagogy and skills that help faculty better aid student learning. Each credential awarded includes evidence of achievement in the area of focus.

What will a digital credential look like?

Instead of handing a faculty member a physical paper certificate for professional development accomplishments that would then need to be scanned and uploaded to a faculty ePortfolio, these new credentials will be delivered to faculty via email and can directly be uploaded to a Digication ePortfolio.

They can also be uploaded to other social media sites such as LinkedIn. The digital credential will include a description and criteria of the achievement.

Information on how to complete the requirements for these credentials can be found in blue boxes like this throughout the catalog.

For more information on digital credentialing, check out faculty.slcc.edu/faculty-development/index.aspx.

Faculty Development and Training Opportunities

Creating Wicked Students: Designing Courses for a Complex World Feb. 28, Oak Room, Taylorsville Redwood Campus Paul Hanstedt,

In Creating Wicked Students, Paul Hanstedt argues that courses can and should be designed to present students with what are known as “wicked problems” because the skills of dealing with such knotty problems are what will best prepare them for life after college. As Hanstedt puts it, “this book begins with the assumption that what we all want for our students is that they be capable of changing the world….When a student leaves college, we want them to enter the world not as drones participating mindlessly in activities to which they’ve been appointed, but as thinking, deliberative beings who add something to society.”

This is a course design book centered on the idea that the goal in the college classroom―in all classrooms, all the time―is to develop students who are not just loaded with content, but capable of using that content in thoughtful, deliberate ways to make the world a better place.

PROVOST PATHWAY FORUMS This year Provost Clifton Sanders will engage faculty in discussions around teaching excellence and the faculty’s role in SLCC’s continued efforts to develop structured pathways for students. In addition to regular engagement with faculty leadership, Provost Sanders extends an invitation to all faculty to attend open forums on Pathways this coming academic year.

Fall 2018—Faculty, Excellence, Student Success and Pathways A session where the Provost will discuss SLCC faculty work, contributions and perspectives on student success in the context of Pathways implementation.

Spring 2019—Pathways and the Faculty Role The Provost will engage faculty in a conversation about faculty work in and out of the classroom with regards to Pathways reform.

LEARNING COMMUNITIES Salt Lake Community College has a long history of learning communities (alternatively called teaching circles). They are cross-disciplinary or discipline-specific gatherings of faculty and staff eager to discuss current pedagogical practices to advance student learning. Great work has been accomplished with these learning communities. Faculty Development continues to support this form of professional development. Check out a sample of the Learning Communities organized for this fall:

Faculty Development Catalog 2018–2019

SCHOLARSHIP OF TEACHING & LEARNING (SOTL) Faculty who engage with the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL) view their teaching as a scholarly activity.

Faculty consider their own teaching in light of current scholarship and, in turn, may contribute to that scholarship.

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

Reading the faculty development book of the year and participating in a corresponding learning community is one simple way to enter the world of SoTL.

ACUE: Effective Teaching Practices ACUE is a yearlong, online course that we facilitate locally. The course “prepares college instructors to use the research-based techniques shown to help students succeed.” The course addresses essential teaching skills and knowledge in five units of study: Designing an Effective Course and Class Establishing a Productive Learning Environment Using Active Learning Techniques Promoting Higher Order Thinking Assessing to Inform Instruction and Promote Learning Faculty Development is coordinating with academic administration to invite faculty to participate. Faculty who successfully complete the course receive a certificate from the American Council on Education. For more information see acue.org.

Faculty Guild Fellows The Faculty Guild provides a rigorous community of reflective practice. A participant in the Faculty Guild joins seven other faculty in his or her discipline to examine his or her own teaching with the help of a facilitator. This is contextual instructional development built around a coaching-based model. For more information see facultyguild.org. We’re asking each Dean to nominate a faculty member to participate in the Faculty Guild.

Principles of Effective College Teaching Credential James Lang, author of Small Teaching Principles of Effective College Teaching begins with student learning. Each unit of the course presents research and theories that help us understand how students learn and then explores the implications of the research for course design, classroom practice, and student feedback and evaluation. Practical skills covered by the course include designing courses and planning daily classroom or online activities. Course videos, required readings, discussion questions and learning checks are combined to ensure that the college faculty will be well-prepared to design and teach a course in either traditional or online formats.

• Framing the Course • Learning in the Classroom • Feedback and Evaluation

Faculty Development and Training Opportunities

Teaching and Learning Workshops This year, Faculty Development presents three core development opportunities on teaching and learning. Whether faculty are experienced or relatively new to teaching, these essentials support them as they consider how to design a course, build engaging assignments and provide targeted feedback.

Best Teachers Institute Presentation Join the SLCC Faculty who attended the 2018 Best Teachers Institute to discuss evidence-based approaches to instruction. This year’s highlights included Eric Mazur’s approach to peer instruction, James Lang’s presentation on Cheating Lessons and Paul Baker’s Fostering Natural Critical Learning Environments.

How Do Our SLCC Students Learn? Adult Learning Theory Basics Ann Fillmore, Assistant Professor of 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.

Transparent Assignment Design Katerina Salini, Professor, Psychology Tiffany Rousculp, Professor, English Jason Pickavance, Director of Faculty Development & Educational Initiatives 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 will 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.

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.

Signature Assignment Brainstorming and Reflective Pedagogy David Hubert, Associate Provost, Office of Learning Advancement This session helps faculty develop signature assignments in their courses and match them to reflective prompts that will help students make connections and better understand themselves as learners.

Faculty Development Catalog 2018–2019

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.

• 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.

Assessment Planning Workshop

Critical Thinking 2: Rubric Development Tom Zane, Learning Outcomes 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 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—written, video or other—that is capable of showing you their level of critical thinking (e.g., their levels of analysis, evaluation, inference, etc.).

ePortfolio ePortfolio Technology Credential Participant must complete the Digication 101 workshop and create a sample page for one of their classes using Digication.

ePortfolio 101 Online Online Facilitator: Emily Dibble, ePortfolio Coordinator

Attendees will also identify on and off-campus resources, including SLCC’s Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT).

Unveiling the Unconscious Dr. Roderic Land, Special Assistant to the President Recent work has shown we all carry implicit biases. Biases can have a significant impact on communication, decisionmaking, perceptions and beliefs about others. Does unconscious bias also impact the way we teach or develop curriculum? How can someone’s race, gender, age and 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?

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 aware of how their biases may play out in how they teach and develop curriculum.

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 students through meaningful and high-quality experiences.

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. This training lays the foundation for understanding state and national policies affecting this population and describes the process through which faculty and staff can serve as a resource for students who are undocumented. (Online, 4 hours)

College Student Mental Health: What You Should Know and What You Can Do Scott Kadera, Counseling Services The purpose of this presentation is to increase awareness of mental health problems among today’s college students and to provide strategies that assist faculty and staff in intervening effectively to get students 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.

Faculty Development Grants, andAwards Training&Opportunities Recognitions

GRANTS Grants: Faculty Development, Sponsored Projects, Community Engagement, Learning Advancement This year, an effort is being made to better coordinate internal grant opportunities offered across the college. Though grant work still varies across different areas, the offices of Faculty Development, Sponsored Projects, Community Relations, Learning Advancement and the Special Assistant to the President will make grants available through a shared portal and create a common, simplified application process.

Our offices aim to support a culture of research and innovation and to translate those innovations into grant opportunities for the college.

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

The project should be situated within existing scholarship in teaching and learning and be linked to college goals and priorities.

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 training and receive coaching as a group or individual. 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.

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.

Community Engagement Grants The Faculty and Staff Community Engagement Award provides one-time funding of between $250 and $20,000 in support of initiatives that advance Salt Lake Community College’s values of community and collaboration. The award is open to all full-time faculty and staff. Funds are intended to support new initiatives or innovations to existing programs that significantly increase community engagement. The goal of the grant is to identify and build new reciprocal partnerships or deepen existing mutually beneficial relationships between the college (institutional, faculty, staff and/or students) and our community.

Requests for funding of $2,000 or less may be submitted at any time during the fiscal year. Requests for funding greater than $2,000 must be submitted by deadlines listed on the Community Relations Community Engagement Award webpage.

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 Fall 2018, 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 Questions?

The What is an Educated Person? Conference is a unique event in American higher education. Every year for more than 20 years, faculty and administrators from all of Utah’s public colleges and universities get together to talk about issues surrounding general education. Originally motivated by the question, “What is an Educated Person?”, over the years the conference has focused on topics such as integration in general education, assessment of learning outcomes and high-impact educational practices. This year’s keynote speaker is Tia McNair, AAC&U Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Student Success.

This year, Dixie State University will host the UWHEN leadership conference in St. George on April 5, 2019. The annual UWHEN Leadership Conference is an opportunity for Utah women in higher education to engage in discussions about leadership, growth and professional development. In addition to participating in the annual UWHEN Conference, the SLCC chapter hosts events each year such as the Presidential Luncheon and events focused on elevating women in higher education. For details, see the UWHEN site at uwhen.org or contact Celia Duarte, Chapter President and Assistant Registrar for Professional Development Student Record Management Office, at celia.duarte@slcc.edu.
