Due to limited pedagogical training and a lack of institutional focus on teaching as an iterative skill, faculty often replicate the teaching they experienced as students—which may not be the most effective approach. Empowering students to learn, demonstrate agency in the classroom, and legislate their own learning experiences requires reflection and the intentional development of values around teaching and learning. Relationships of Reciprocity: In Pursuit of Shared Teaching and Learning, a new publication from Academic Impressions and authored by Monica B. Glina, offers faculty ways to understand their teaching practice and values, to reflect on how they can incorporate new strategies into in-person, hybrid, or asynchronous teaching, and to evolve that practice. Join us for a webinar that will walk you through an exercise to help you to reflect on the values that inform your teaching. Glina will help you to explore how your professional values manifest themselves in your interactions with your students or co-learners, in the learning experiences you create, and in the way you view assessment. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about the interactive nature of the book and how you can use it to plan your upcoming semester.

Academic leaders today are facing some tough decisions: While it is commonly said that these challenges require data-driven decision making, what does that actually mean? And in a world where we are drowning in data, which are the right data points to track? Just as importantly, what are the right questions to ask that should guide those metrics? In this free webcast, join a conversation between UQ Solutions and the Provost at Carroll University, who have designed a blueprint for using data to optimize program portfolios for enrollment growth and financial sustainability.

Political interference, campus protests, demographic cliff(s), rising costs, and campus closures are all contributing to the public’s declining trust in higher education. But it’s not just the public. Respected and “star” faculty and administrators are also losing faith and continue to show signs of disenchantment, anxiety, and mistrust. In fact, 57% of faculty and staff said they were likely to leave their position next year, and 42% reported clinical symptoms of burnout. Our reflexive reaction in the face of such numbers is often to externalize the blame, but there are proven strategies to combat the very real impact to faculty and staff morale, trust, and engagement. It’s time to stop looking through the window to the outside for answers and start looking in the mirror. Join us as we showcase five proven strategies that leaders at all levels can employ to improve job satisfaction, build trust, and positively change the trajectory for many faculty and staff—and for the institution itself.
