Beyond The Checkbox: Reflecting On Teaching With Purpose & Rigor
Date: Friday, December 5th, 2025
Time: 11:00 am- 12:00 pm
Location: Zoom
This interactive session explores ways faculty can meaningfully reflect on their teaching in ways that lead to change and growth. Participants will discuss strategies for helping instructors set actionable teaching goals, gather evidence of student learning and connect classroom experiences to long-term teaching development. The workshop will include case examples, reflection prompts, and practical tools that educational developers and department leaders can adapt to their departmental context.
Participatory Action Research (PAR) in Undergraduate and Graduate Classes
Date: Friday, November 7th, 2025
Time: 11:00 am- 12:00 pm
Location: Zoom
In community psychology, we focus on action research and are dedicated to transforming our pedagogy to emphasize empowerment and nonhierarchical relationships. Yet, truly grasping a community psychology perspective is difficult in traditional classroom settings. Rooted in social justice and community involvement, participatory action research (PAR) empowers individuals in the community to be active contributors to the research and formulations of actions to be taken. This presentation will share examples of PAR as a teaching approach using Photovoice methodology in an undergraduate class and a linked undergraduate-graduate design, as well as a Needs Assessment methodology in a graduate class.
Personal Knowledge Management 101
Date: Friday, October 24th, 2025
Time: 11:00 am- 12:00 pm
Location: Zoom
By the end of this workshop, you will have reflected and developed new strategies related to how you collect, store, and organize analog and digital information for personal and professional purposes. If you take notes without clear purpose or intention for how they will be used in the future, this workshop is for you. “Notes” can be scratch notes, lesson plans, article summary notes, research memos, draft manuscripts, and much more. They can also be hand-written or typed, local or cloud-based. The goal of this workshop is to center “future you” and put your note taking in alignment with how those notes will be beneficial for future classes, meetings, research efforts, and personal obligations.
