SUMMARY:Critical (re)Engagement: Transformative Teaching and Learning for a ‘New Normal’ | 19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference at Elon University (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference at Elon University\nElon University welcomes university and college educators to the 19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference on Wednesday\, June 7th\, 2023. This free\, fully-virtual conference is sponsored jointly by Elon’s Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) and Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT). \nConference Theme: Critical (re)Engagement: Transformative Teaching and Learning for a ‘New Normal\nIn an era of endemic COVID\, higher education finds itself at a precipice of potential\, where we\, as educators\, can redefine the roles of instructor and learner\, rediscover the values that guide our pedagogies and curriculum\, and reimagine learning environments. This work requires space\, time\, and a thoughtful consideration of the collective trauma we have experienced over the last three years. What does our ‘new normal’ look like and how do we ensure that we acknowledge and address the significant inequalities that have been exacerbated over the last three years? This year’s Teaching and Learning Conference envisions exploring\, discussing\, deconstructing\, and rebuilding what it means for us and learners to critically (re)engage in learning. \n

Over her career in public policy\, Heather has crafted legislation\, testified before Congress and helped shape presidential campaign platforms. Her book The Sum of Us: WhatRacism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The New York Times called it\, “The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” and the Chicago Tribune said\, “Required reading to move thecountry forward…”. It is a Washington Post and TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2021. The paperback version will be out in February 2022. The Sum of Us will be adapted into a Spotify podcast by Higher Ground\, the production company of Barack and Michelle Obama in June 2022\, and into a young adult readers’ version by Random House Children’s in 2023.\n\nHeather is an educator\, serving currently as a Visiting Lecturer in Urban Studies at the City University of New York’s School of Labor and Urban Studies. She has also held visiting positions at Yale University’s Brady-Johnson Grand Strategy Program andthe University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. She is the recipient of honorary degrees from Muhlenberg College\, Niagara University\, and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy.\n\nFor nearly two decades\, Heather helped build the non-partisan “think and do” tank Demos\, serving four years as president.Under McGhee’s leadership\, Demos moved their original idea for “debt-free college” into the center of the 2016 presidential debate\, argued before the Supreme Court to protect voting rights in January 2018\, helped win pro-voter reforms in five states over two years\, provided expert testimony to Congressional committees\, including a Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 2017\, and led the research campaigns behind successful wage increases for low-paid workers on federal contracts\, as well as at McDonalds\, Walmart and other chain retailers.\n\nAs an executive\, McGhee transformed Demos on multiple levels. She led a successful strategic planning and rebranding process. She designed a Racial Equity Organizational Transformation which led to an increase in staff racial diversity (from27 percent people of color to 60 percent in four years)\, an original racial equity curriculum for staff professional development and a complete overhaul of the organization’s research\, litigation and campaign strategies using a racial equity lens. McGhee also nearly doubled the organizational budget in four years. A strong coalition-builder and trustedcross-movement leader\, McGhee deepened Demos’ influence through new networks and collaborations inside and outside the Beltway.\n\nAn influential voice in the media and a former NBC contributor\, McGhee regularly appears on NBC’s Meet the Press andMSNBC’s Morning Joe\, Deadline White House and All In. Her 2020 TED talk is entitled “Racism Has a Cost for Everyone”.

SUMMARY:ChatGPT for Programming: Exploring AI as a Potential Equity-Lever for Learning to Code?
DESCRIPTION:Session Information\nDate: Monday\, May 15 \nTime: 12pm – 1:30pm PT \nLocation: Zoom (Register for Zoom link) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Description\nHow can we leverage AI to support authentic learning while also mitigating potential harm to learning?  This is a national conversation happening across higher education\, and the applications vary across disciplines. When it comes to programming\, there is a lot of potential for supporting student learning-​- ​helping students understand why their code might be incorrect\, interpreting and providing documentation on lines of code\, and improving student code by making it more complex or more streamlined depending on the goal​ — just to name a few examples.​ ​L​ive virtual ​1:1 ​support​ via ChatGPT and other similar tools​ is ​now ​available 24-7 and ​accessible to all students\, regardless of their financial means​.​ In this modern age of AI\, how can we best leverage these new and emerging tools to support all students (in particular\, those who may need extra help)? How do we coach students on how to interact with AI responsibly and in a way that deepens their learning (and does not undermine it)? \nPresenters: \nWilliam Stein\, CEO of SageMath and CoCalc.com will present on CoCalc’s AI tool and data collected on how students engage with that tool.  Sharmila Venugopal\,Assistant Adjunct Professor for Integrative Biology and Physiology will the Life Sciences Core will share her experiences piloting activities that ask students to engage with ChatGPT to compare and contrast their debugging skills with the AI generated responses. \n  \nSession facilitated by:  Jess Gregg\, Senior Associate Director for the Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences (CEILS).

SUMMARY:Unlocking Student Potential Through Transformative Learning Webinar
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to attend an overview of Qedex’s Transformative Educator Program (TEP) inspired by the Transformative Learning initiative at the University of Central Oklahoma and its positive impact on faculty\, student retention rates\, and student success in the classroom & workplace. \nMay 3rd (9AM PT\, 10AM MT\, 11AM CT\, 12PM ET) | 50 minutes \nAs higher education grapples with a shifting student demographic\, increased numbers of adjunct faculty\, and growing skepticism about the value of a college degree\, we see the TEP as a timely\, effective\, affordable\, and accessible way to address these challenges. Participants will receive supporting data\, take-away resources to support instructors on your campus\, and details about upcoming faculty cohorts in the TE Program which includes access to MERLOT’s e-portfolio platform. \nTransformative Learning has been around for decades (Mezirow\, 1978; Cranton\, 2006) but there’s been a renewal of interest in recent years as a result of measurable impacts that demonstrate its capacity to advance teaching and learning (in the US and abroad).\n \nREGISTER HERE:\nhttps://www.qedex.org/transforming-education/ \nPresenters:\nJeff King\nAssistant Vice President of Transformative Learning\,\nUniversity of Central Oklahoma \nKatherine Whitaker\, Dean\, School of Business and Entrepreneurship\, Division of Academic Affairs\,\nVoorhees University \nLinda Bloomberg\,  Associate Director\, Faculty Support and Development\,\nSanford College of Education\, National University \nStuart Blacklock\, CEO\, Qedex \nFacilitator:\nHoag Holmgren\, Chief Innovation Officer\, Qedex \n\nKind regards\,\nHoag Holmgren\nwww.qedex.org

Please feel free to drop in as your schedule allows. The book club dates are:\n\n\nTuesday\, May 2\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 1-3 | Terasaki Life Sciences 5100\nThursday\, May 11\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 4 & 5 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\nFriday\, May 19\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 6-8 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\nFriday\, May 26\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 9 & 10 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\n\n\nTo RSVP for the May book club dates and book talk\, please click here.\n\nWe invite you to use the Discussion Guide as you read the book: DISCUSSION GUIDE | Heather McGhee.\n\nWe look forward to having you join us for this exciting visit.\n\nBest wishes\,\nTracy\n*************************************************\nTracy Johnson\nKeith and Cecilia Terasaki Presidential Endowed Chair\nProfessor\, Molecular\, Cell and Developmental Biology\nDean\, Life Sciences\, UCLA College\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Heather McGhee\nHeather designs and promotes solutions to inequality in America. Over her career in public policy\, Heather has crafted legislation\, testified before Congress and helped shape presidential campaign platforms. Her book The Sum of Us: WhatRacism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The New York Times called it\, “The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” and the Chicago Tribune said\, “Required reading to move thecountry forward…”. It is a Washington Post and TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2021. The paperback version will be out in February 2022. The Sum of Us will be adapted into a Spotify podcast by Higher Ground\, the production company of Barack and Michelle Obama in June 2022\, and into a young adult readers’ version by Random House Children’s in 2023.\n\nHeather is an educator\, serving currently as a Visiting Lecturer in Urban Studies at the City University of New York’s School of Labor and Urban Studies. She has also held visiting positions at Yale University’s Brady-Johnson Grand Strategy Program andthe University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. She is the recipient of honorary degrees from Muhlenberg College\, Niagara University\, and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy.\n\nFor nearly two decades\, Heather helped build the non-partisan “think and do” tank Demos\, serving four years as president.Under McGhee’s leadership\, Demos moved their original idea for “debt-free college” into the center of the 2016 presidential debate\, argued before the Supreme Court to protect voting rights in January 2018\, helped win pro-voter reforms in five states over two years\, provided expert testimony to Congressional committees\, including a Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 2017\, and led the research campaigns behind successful wage increases for low-paid workers on federal contracts\, as well as at McDonalds\, Walmart and other chain retailers.\n\nAs an executive\, McGhee transformed Demos on multiple levels. She led a successful strategic planning and rebranding process. She designed a Racial Equity Organizational Transformation which led to an increase in staff racial diversity (from27 percent people of color to 60 percent in four years)\, an original racial equity curriculum for staff professional development and a complete overhaul of the organization’s research\, litigation and campaign strategies using a racial equity lens. McGhee also nearly doubled the organizational budget in four years. A strong coalition-builder and trustedcross-movement leader\, McGhee deepened Demos’ influence through new networks and collaborations inside and outside the Beltway.\n\nAn influential voice in the media and a former NBC contributor\, McGhee regularly appears on NBC’s Meet the Press andMSNBC’s Morning Joe\, Deadline White House and All In. Her 2020 TED talk is entitled “Racism Has a Cost for Everyone”. She has shared her opinions\, writing and research in numerous outlets\, including the Washington Post\, New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, Politico and National Public Radio. McGhee’s conversation on a C-SPAN program in 2016with a white man who asked for her help to overcome his racial prejudice went viral\, receiving more than 10 million views and sparking wide media coverage that included a New York Times op-ed\, a New Yorker piece and a CNN town hall. Inspring 2018\, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz asked McGhee to advise the company as it designed an anti-bias training for 250\,000 employees in the wake of the unjust arrest of two black men in a Philadelphia store. McGhee wrote a report with recommendations for how Starbucks can apply a racial equity lens to their businesses\, and how other companies both large and small can benefit from doing the same.\n\nMcGhee also played a leadership role in steering the historic Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act\, and was one of the key advocates credited for the adoption of the Volcker Rule.\n\nShe holds a B.A. in American Studies from Yale University and a J.D. from the University of California at Berkeley School of Law\,. McGhee is the chair of the board of Color Of Change\, the nation’s largest online racial justice organization\, and alsoserves on the boards of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund\, the Open Society Foundations’ US Programs and Demos.\n\nFor more information\, please visit www.heathermcghee.com and follow Heather on Twitter: @hmcghee and Instagram and Facebook: @HeatherCMcGhee\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConnect with UCLA’s Center\nfor Education Innovation &\nLearning in the Sciences\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information about CEILS events and resources\, including a list of STEM education events from previous mailers\, please visit the CEILS website at www.ceils.ucla.edu or stop by our CEILS office in 222 Hershey Hall.  If you wish to be added to the CEILS mailing list for future newsletters and special announcements\, please send your request to media@ceils.ucla.edu or sign up here.

SUMMARY:"A Justice Partnership for Course Innovation" featuring Siobhan Braybrook and the Life Sciences Liberation Team | Ed Talks & Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:In this project\, we are working to imagine and create a more liberated introductory life science classroom. We chose to take a radical path to inclusive course design by engaging in an authentic and meaningful approach we call a Justice Partnership; our team\, Life Sciences Liberation (‘LS Lib’)\, centers and empowers Black womxn-identifying students. Our process is a pedagogical partnership and is grounded in principles of design justice. Come hear about our process and ongoing work! \nPedagogical partnerships: Instructor-student partnerships that draw on student experiential knowledge to challenge institutional norms & practices\, while also helping them navigate such a system (Cook-Sather et al\, 2020). \nDesign justice: an approach to design that centers marginalized communities and aims explicitly to challenge\, rather than reproduce\, structural inequalities (Costanza-Chock\, 2020). \n\n\n\nFollowing the Ed Talks\, we will be having Happy Hour in the Hershey Hall Front Courtyard at 4pm!

SUMMARY:UC Wide Academic Integrity Virtual Symposium
DESCRIPTION:UC Wide Academic Integrity Virtual Symposium \nRSVP Today \nThe integrity of the teaching and learning mission of universities is facing a challenge unlike those experienced in the past with the growth in companies and people who will complete academic work on behalf of students and the launch of generative artificial intelligence that provides answers and assignments in a matter of seconds. We cannot keep teaching\, learning\, and assessing as we did in the 20th century\, and we can’t ignore our societal obligation to ensure that our degrees are accurate representations of a graduate’s knowledge and skills. \nThe symposium\, sponsored and organized by the Academic Integrity Office at UC San Diego\, is open for all University of California system members and is free of charge. Attend one or more of the live sessions. Any questions should be directed to the symposium organizers at integrity@ucsd.edu.

SUMMARY:“When disabilities make school harder\, you don’t get to do all the extras:” Participation in high-impact extracurriculars for students with disabilities
DESCRIPTION:“When disabilities make school harder\, you don’t get to do all the extras:” Participation in high-impact extracurriculars for students with disabilities  \nTalk Description: High-impact practices are educational experiences\, such as undergraduate research experiences\, that can support undergraduate student retention. This talk will share findings from a recent national survey\, exploring how the extracurricular nature of many high-impact practices may disproportionately prevent STEM students with disabilities from fully benefiting from these experiences. \nEmma Goodwin Bio: After completing her B.S. in Microbiology\, Immunology\, and Molecular Genetics at UCLA\, Emma worked as a non-student teaching assistant in the MIMG Research Immersion Laboratory courses and was introduced to biology education research through CEILs. These experiences led her to pursue her PhD in Biology Education Research at Portland State University\, and she is currently an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in STEM Education Research at Arizona State University. \nAbout ED Talks @CEILS: Learning Community Meetings: Join us as we explore the latest high quality STEM Education Research studies and how to implement effective and inclusive teaching. We welcome guest speakers from UCLA and other academic institutions to share their research and lead small group discussions with our teaching and learning community. Faculty\, graduate students\, postdocs\, and anyone interested in STEM education research are welcome to participate.
