"Classroom Climate
Conversations": In light of the deep differences and tensions accompanying the
2016 US Presidential election, the Center
for Education Innovation (CEI) has launched a new resource page focusing on teaching and learning tools that faculty,
instructors, and TA's can use. CEI will
also be hosting conversations on this topic on January 11 and 12, 2017: "When
Tolerance Is Not Enough: Supporting Undergraduate Learners in Discussions, Dialogues, and Dissent"
on January 11, 2017; 9:00AM -9:50AM in Bruininks 432A and "Listening
as Mentors & Allies: Supporting Graduate Students after the Election" on January 12, 2017; 9:00 AM
- 9:50 AM in Bruininks 432A. Additionally,
CEI offers all instructors one-to-one consulting conversations on the personal as well as pedagogical dimensions of
being an instructor right now. Click here
