Events
Colleagues in the Classroom
Have you ever wanted to see your colleagues at their absolute best: in the classroom? Faculty across campus are opening up their classroom to us this October. Reserve your seat to take in a discussion of particle physics, Mayan architecture, or Japanese poetry.
This is a chance to encourage dialog about teaching and our vision for what kind of education Central should provide. Peruse the calendar below and reserve your spot. See you there!
Fall Learning Communities
Learning Communities provide an opportunity for faculty to engage in meaningful discussions, collaborate with colleagues, and grow together. We hope to see you there!
You may sign up for one or more of the communities listed below,
The Science of Learning Meets AI
Facilitated by Becky Boncoddo (Psychological Science)
This book, by Ludwig and Zakrajsek, blends critiques of AI's costs and limitations with practical ideas on ways that it can support deep learning, all based on the latest research into how we learn.
Specification Grading
Facilitated by Ashley Green (Sociology)
The author of this book is Linda Nilson. Specification grading is an alternative to "normal" points-based grading systems that considers equity and mastery to be core goals.
The Opposite of Cheating
Facilitated by Ned Moore (Engineering)
This book, by Bertram, recognizes that AI detectors seem destined to lose the technology arms race we find ourselves in and instead considers a range of practical ways to guide students towards making choices that support their learning.
All books will be provided by the CTI.
