What: THE SOCIALIZATION OF RACE AND RACISM

LET’S TALK ABOUT RACE

WORKSHOP 1 THE SOCIALIZATION OF RACE AND RACISM

DATE: Thursday, November 19, 2020, 10-11:00am

DESCRIPTION: Understanding race from both a historical and contemporary lens is critical in fostering an environment of inclusion and belonging. This first workshop focuses on the history of race and how societal constructs have perpetuated individuals and communities to learn and internalize various norms and stereotypes about groups other than their own.

WORKSHOP 2 DISMANTLING COLORBLIND IDEOLOGIES

DATE: Tuesday, January 12, 10:30-11:30am

DESCRIPTION: “I don’t see race…racism is a thing of the past!” Or is it? This session examines the impact colorblind ideologies have on color-bound issues and communities of color. This session will seek to explore ways of countering these ideologies both individually and within an organizational context.

WORKSHOP 3 BECOMING A RACIAL JUSTICE ALLY

DATE: Tuesday, March 16, 10:30-11:30am

DESCRIPTION: Ever felt like you wanted to help in the fight for racial equity and justice, but didn’t know how? This session will focus on providing tools to becoming a helpful ally in the effort to change the systematic inequities that exist within the campus environment.

TBR Teaching Tuesdays

Teaching Tuesdays #1

This new Teaching Tuesdays series is designed to support you as we navigate the ever-changing instructional landscape during these unusual times and beyond.

Each week I will record a video message with my personal thoughts to share with you, any news or updates that might be relevant, and a recap of resources from the week before. This morning’s video reminds you to access these helpful tools:

1. Faculty Resources: TBR COVID-19 Guide contains relevant links to instructional and health resources and is updated daily.

2. Melynda’s COVID-19 Online Lesson Ideas is a collection of quick, relevant, easy-to-use activities with your students in the online environment to increase student engagement and build community within the online classroom environment. My goal is to add at least 3 new activities each week. I’d love to hear how it goes if you try any of them!

3. Melynda’s Virtual Office Hours happen every Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Zoom, https://zoom.us/j/833394648. This is time that you can visit with me in a virtual face-to-face environment to discuss challenges, brainstorm ideas, seek advice, ask questions, vent, or just visit. Please feel free to join me there! Phone-in options are (312)626-6799 for CST and (929)436-2866 for EST.

Teaching Tuesdays #2: Virtual Service Learning

In this episode of Teaching Tuesdays, I remind you of the Faculty Resources: TBR COVID-19 Guide that has consistently-updated resources and webinars for online teaching and using educational tools available on the Internet, as well as links to health, wellness, and necessity information that may be helpful to you and your students.

Also, there are three new entries this week in Melynda’s COVID-19 Online Lesson Ideas.

1. The Would You Rather? Discussion Starter can help focus your students on a new topic or concept in a fresh way.

2. FreeRice.com allows students to practice skills in many disciplines while providing food for hungry populations.

3. Virtual Service Learning is possible and I provide four starting places for you to begin to create opportunities for your students to serve others even when they must work remotely.

Remember, my Virtual Office Hours happen every Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Zoom, https://zoom.us/j/833394648. Please feel free to join me there! Phone-in options are (312)626-6799 for CST and (929)436-2866 for EST.

A note about the video above: The video link takes you to Loom where I created the video. I would ordinarily upload the video to YouTube to provide closed captioning and a real-time transcript. However, YouTube and technology were not wanting to cooperate, so I had to punt. 😊 You can view and hear the video on Loom, but the transcript is provided as a .pdf attachment to this email if you would prefer to read the message or have any challenges with the video or audio.

Teaching Tuesdays #3: Civic Participation

In this week’s Teaching Tuesdays, I remind you of some specific resources contained within the Faculty Resources: TBR COVID-19 Guide including the Motivate Lab’s Mindset Minutes and the 10 Tips for Faculty infographic created for us by our own Dr. Liz Norell. I think both of these items are worth reviewing as we enter these final weeks of the semester. Additionally, Magna is hosting a free seminar next Tuesday on Trauma-Informed Pedagogy that may benefit us all.

This week I added three new items to the Melynda's COVID-19 Online Lesson Ideas document, two of which are relevant to civic participation and current events and one which may benefit your students as they work on research papers for semesters to come.

Remember, my virtual office hours are Fridays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Zoom, https://zoom.us/j/833394648. Please feel free to join me there! Phone-in options are (312)626-6799 for CST and (929)436-2866 for EST. If you experience any challenges with the link or numbers, just let me know and we’ll get connected.

Contact me any time. I’m here to assist you in all the ways I am able.

Teaching Tuesdays #4: Making Online Student Connections

In this week’s Teaching Tuesdays episode, I highlight three new items added to Melynda’s COVID-19 Online Lesson Ideas include Thought-Starter Discussions and Short Story or Word Problem Starters to introduce a new concept or begin a module, and ways to connect with students in the online environment. Also, new entries have been made to the Faculty Resources: TBR COVID-19 Guide. Two articles from Faculty Focus share online strategies for mindfulness and engaging Generation Z. I’ve shared my own online resource collection, too.

Let me know if I can be of assistance to you with grant applications, online engagement, or anything else. Call, text, email, or join me on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Zoom.

Teaching Tuesdays #5: Your Contributions are Invaluable

In this week’s Teaching Tuesdays episode, I encourage you to visit UC Berkeley’s Greater Good in Education website for activities that are designed to help improve your wellbeing. Some of them may even be appropriate for your courses.

I’m working to create an online faculty resource center with short PowerPoint voice-over videos about all things TBR & HIP as well as Teaching and Learning. I’m interested in including short voice-over videos from you about helpful resources, successful lessons, fun activities, useful apps, or instructional tips. I’m accepting submissions throughout the month until Friday, May 29th. If you choose to contribute, I will provide you with a letter of thanks for your professional files.

Teaching Tuesdays #8: Setting the Tone

Welcome to Teaching Tuesdays #8: Setting the Tone.

This week, as promised, I help you rejuvenate your courses at the structural level as we begin the TBR Teaching Tidbit series for providing quality instruction to support student success.

Our first “how-to” lesson is Setting the Tone. Click the picture below or the link here to view the short video lesson.

No matter if you teach face-to-face, online, or a mix of both, you want to be sure to appropriately engage your students from Day One by taking three easy action steps:

  1. Post a Welcome Announcement in the D2L course shell with a warm welcome, why you teach the class, and tips for success.

  2. Create a Getting Acquainted discussion thread in D2L, post your own bio, and reply to each student who posts.

  3. Send a personalized Welcome Email to each student asking if they are prepared or have questions and providing them your contact information. Be sure to reply to each student who responds.

If you take these three important welcoming action steps, HIP, ATD, and Mindset research shows your course will be more likely to support student success. The printable version of the lesson along with examples of each step are provided in the Setting the Tone document for your review.

Got questions or suggestions? Feel free to call, text, email, or join me on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Zoom

Teaching Tuesday #9: Transparent Teaching


In every course, especially in online courses where the communication is primarily written and housed in the D2L course shell, it is extremely important to provide clear instructions to students by taking three easy action steps:

  1. Clarify your syllabus by correcting errors, making updates, and including policies and the course schedule with assignments and due dates.

  2. Compose intelligible instructions providing the purposes, tasks, and criteria to complete those tasks.

  3. Demystify course success by providing a Course Guidelines & Expectations document, Course Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document, or module checklists to help students overcome known challenges and hurdles.

If you take these three important action steps to make your course more transparent, TILT research shows your course will be more likely to support student success. The printable version of the lesson along with examples of each step are provided in the Transparent Teaching document for your review.

The Carnegie Foundation says that “Fostering students’ abilities to integrate learning…is one of the most important goals and challenges of higher education.” Helping students to see connections between your course concepts and their world outside of the classroom can be accomplished in 3 easy action steps:

  1. Introduce students to the Topic Wheel graphic by drawing or creating one using Microsoft Shapes or SmartArt.

  2. Outline the connections you want students to make by providing the topic and a variety of sectors for the topic wheel.

  3. Have students brainstorm and discuss connections they see. Ask each student to come up with at least one connection for every sector.

If you take these three important action steps to help students make connections between their learning and their lives, your course will be more likely to support student success and your students will begin making these connections on their own.

Teaching Tuesday #14: Student Reflection

7/7/20

Students often view classroom learning experiences as isolated events unrelated to the rest of their lives. Incorporating reflection exercises into your course curriculum will help students to build the habit of making connections between your course concepts and their world outside of the classroom as well as constructing meaning from the experiences. This can be accomplished in 3 easy action steps:

  1. Build in reflection exercises by organizing instruction so students are producers, not just consumers, of knowledge.

  2. Guide students to approach learning activities strategically by going beyond the question, “What have I learned from doing this activity?”

  3. Ask “What? So what? Now what?” to utilize a well-known reflection framework.

If you take these three important action steps to help students make connections between their learning and their lives, your course will be more likely to support student success and your students will become better critical thinkers.

The printable versions of all the TBR Teaching Tuesdays lessons are provided in the TBR Teaching Tuesdays Google folder for your review.
