As we approach the winter term, DCAL will close during Dartmouth’s break from December 19th, 2020 through January 2nd, 2021. We hope you, too, will enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating break.
The academic continuity teams continue to support educators at Dartmouth as they prepare for winter term courses. Remember to visit teachremote.dartmouth.edu if you haven’t in awhile – we are continually updating the site with new information, training, and ideas!
New resources
To make our programming more accessible, we now include a synopsis and other materials from our workshops and presentations. Visit (or revisit) some of our recent offerings:
Small Teaching Online: Practical Strategies for Engaging Students During Covid-19
DCAL was pleased to welcome special guest Flower Darby, educator and author, recently for a discussion on the strategies that work to engage students in the remote learning environment.
Co-Creating Remote Learning Experiences with Your Students
When COVID-19 moved teaching and learning online last spring, Dartmouth's two-term Senior Design Challenge course was interrupted mid-stream. In a recent DCAL session, instructor Eugene Korsunskiy talks about the creative pivot that kept things rolling.
Assessing Learning - Remote and Online.
Key take-aways and the recording of a recent DCAL session on assessing learning in the remote teaching and learning environment.
Upcoming Opportunities
The Inclusive Pathways for Advancement in the Academy (IPAA) program is a faculty development, onboarding, and retention initiative that provides space for recently hired faculty to deepen their sense of community as they explore & enrich their identities as teachers and scholars. This year's program will convene over 6 Zoom sessions, starting on 1/12/21.
Applications are due 12/11/20. For more info & to apply: http://dartgo.org/IPAA
Anti-Racist Pedagogy Learning Community
Are you interested in bringing anti-racist work into your teaching? In the winter, DCAL is facilitating a learning community where participants will focus on learning about and incorporating anti-racist pedagogy into their teaching practice. Anti-racism is the active process of dismantling the systems, structures, policies, practices, and attitudes that uphold racism and the unequal distribution of power. Anti-racist pedagogy asks us to interrogate and disrupt these same inequities within our educational institutions and classrooms.
The learning community will engage in reading, reflection, discussion, and design together during a series of meetings in Winter 2021. Apply here
