The Provost’s Conference Series welcomes back Drs. Noah Finkelstein and Sarah Andrews as we continue our campus-wide initiative to re-imagine our teaching evaluation processes. As the Teaching Excellence Task Force considers policy change through shared governance, and the Departmental Action Teams interrogate department-level practices, all DU faculty and faculty administrators are stakeholders in this change initiative. This session is designed to engage DU stakeholders in the work of transforming teaching evaluation at departmental and campus levels. The keynote address will help familiarize participants with the overall framing and process, define three voices of evaluation, and map those three voices to a teaching evaluation framework.
Below is the webinar link fro Tuesday May 17th 12-2PM. https://udenver.zoom.us/j/83190535054?pwd=yU1GrjeBJRq84wNqN8BXXYHJVOQF9F.1
Passcode: 751623
A 1-hour workshop will follow to allow DATs and DAT facilitators to dive more deeply into the framework (contextualize to their units) and the three voices (consider specific tools and associated processes that make sense for their unit). This working session will be facilitated by Noah Finkelstein and Sarah Andrews, leads of the Teaching Quality Framework Initiative (TQF) at The University of Colorado Boulder.

What is Digital Accessibility?
Every user deserves a first-rate digital experience on the web. Someone with a disability must be able to experience web-based services, content and other digital products with the same successful outcome as those without disabilities. This awareness and commitment to inclusion is the goal of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), a global event that shines a light on digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities.

The Office of Teaching and Learning (OTL) is partnering with the Division of Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DDEI) to offer Equity Workshops every other Monday throughout the spring quarter. These workshops, led by Becca Ciancanelli (Director of Inclusive Teaching Practices, OTL) and Kristin Deal (Director, DDEI) will be highly interactive and will allow for participants to talk openly about classroom challenges and achievements while working to support students with various identities and lived experiences. We will develop inclusive practices and policies in the classroom through storytelling and gathering collective knowledge. Coffee and breakfast treats will be available for in-person attendees. Feel free to join online as well!
Our sixth and final workshop is being offered as the spring quarter ends. We hope to finish this academic year by designing classroom activities to address compassion fatigue and resilience.
