Supporting Faculty in Teaching is Supporting Student Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In her welcome, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Senior Vice Provost, Alix Gitelman, nicely connected the importance and impact of CTL Fellows\u2019 efforts to student success. She stated, \u201cThe key piece to student success is student learning. This is where our faculty come in and help guide our students in learning in the classrooms and outside the classrooms.\u201d<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>She then expressed gratitude to the CTL Fellows for their work in elevating teaching and learning within the program and the colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CTL Fellows Cultivate Cultures of Teaching and Learning within Colleges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recurring theme throughout the Showcase, and echoed in the program goals<\/a>, is the concept of cultivating cultures of teaching and learning within the colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

College of Engineering (COE)<\/strong>, Adam Lambert <\/strong>and Shane Brown<\/strong> planned successful teaching and learning breakfast\/lunch events. Lambert explained, \u201cIt was awesome! We had real-time discussions around teaching myths. For example, some people say, \u2018You can’t do active learning in a big classroom.\u2019 We had a panel of people who do active learning in large enrollment classes come and say, \u2018This is how I do it and what works well.\u2019 We then asked questions and considered what might work in our own classes. We ran out of time to get through all the materials we planned because it was going so well. It was energetic and attendance exceeded our expectations!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Samantha McGee<\/strong> and Paula Weiss<\/strong> in the College of Science (COS)<\/strong> explained how they mindfully used informal bimonthly faculty coffee hours to plan workshops. Faculty informally discussed successes and challenges in the classroom in the coffee hours; they helped each other grow as educators. Topics often depended on the needs of the folks in attendance on that day. This enabled us to build community and be responsive to needs in real-time. Coffee hour informal discussions then informed the professional development workshops<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Demian Hommel<\/strong> in the Earth, Ocean, Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS)<\/strong> conducted one-on-one consultations and reflected, \u201cThese one-on-one sessions are where I think the most benefit and connections happen.\u201d <\/em>In addition, he planned and delivered a Bootcamp session on cognition and learning. He expressed, \u201dCulturally, we benefit from talking about these issues collectively, not just from a top-down approach, but also on a peer-to-peer basis.<\/em>” When considering a vision for the future, Hommel asked some useful questions such as: \u201cHow do we develop this culture of information sharing and exchange in CEOAS?\u201d<\/em> Such questions apply to all colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Multiple Years of Collaboration with the CTL Fellows Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

David Engel and Scott Geddes<\/strong>, who have served as CTL Fellows and in the OSU-Cascades Faculty Success Center<\/strong> for the past three years, spoke to the benefits of collaborating with the CTL Fellows program over time. Engel explained, <\/strong>\u201cWe have seen the Faculty Support Center, which is only three years old, grow in its impact and ability to provide support mechanisms academically, pedagogically, professionally to our faculty.\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>Geddes showcased how <\/strong>they have built a substantial Canvas site that continues to grow. He pointed out that a strength of the program is that each college gets to develop and focus on their own strengths and work toward goals that are useful to them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importance of Collaborations & Strategic Planning: College Administrators, Faculty, Centralized Support Units<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shane Brown<\/strong>, in the COE<\/strong>, touched on one of the cornerstones of the CTL Fellows Program: collaborations between college administration, teaching faculty, and centralized teaching support units. He shared, \u201cOur vision for the future is to continue to develop our goals with college leadership because we want to do things that are possible, that meet the bigger vision, that meet the bigger affordances.\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>One of the effective methods of this type of planning has been teaching needs assessments conducted by CTL Fellows with the support of college administrators, where questions such as the following can be asked: Where are we? Where do we want to be? How are we going to get there and where will we place resources\/incentives to do so?<\/em> Hommel conducted a needs assessment in CEOAS this year and Lambert last year in COE. \u201cThe needs assessments moving forward are going to be essential,\u201d reflected Hommel. A barrier reported by faculty to participating in professional development is finding time. This and discussion of incentives were segues into discussion between CTL Fellows, faculty, and administration present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
