SUMMARY:Building Anti-Racist Educators: Reading & Inquiry Series - April Meeting
DESCRIPTION:As educators\, we want to do our jobs well. We want to be fair\, we want to promote safe communities\, and we want to support all our students in every aspect of their lives. Tools help us realize these goals that we already have.\n \n\n\n Educators\, even those with experience and compassion\, may unconsciously negatively impact students in their classrooms. We believe that through consistent study and reflection\, we can slowly address our own unconscious biases and make changes so we can better support the academic\, social and emotional well-being of our students.\n \n\n\n We want YOU to be part of a decentralized inquiry series to support educators to better explore their own biases and improve their own teaching practices.\n \n\n\n This Reading and Inquiry Series provides a monthly set of tools for learning\, introspection and having conversations about issues of racism in our university\, classrooms and communities. We hope that through regular reflection and conversation\, you can get better at recognizing and resisting your biases and the impact they have on your students and colleagues. \n\n \nTo receive a calendar invitation\, Zoom link\, and access to the Canvas space\, please fill out the Vermont State Colleges Building Anti-Racist Educators Sign-Up Form. Note – you only need to complete the form once for the year!\n \n\nSponsored and facilitated by the VTSU Office of Culture & Institutional Excellence and the VTSU CTLI.

SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Series on Writing & Generative AI: Navigating AI when Teaching Research & Information Literacy
DESCRIPTION:Audience: AI Experimenters  \nRight now\, it may feel like both information literacy and AI literacy are competing for our attention. Possibly\, it feels overwhelming to consider how to instruct students to analyze the credibility of source material when generative AI provides an entirely new platform for students to research and engage with source material. Perhaps you haven’t had the bandwidth to integrate yet another element to the research process in your curricula. This session aims to synthesize the seemingly distinct learning objectives of information literacy and AI literacy. Helping students become AI-literate is a facet of information literacy skills. In this session you will get the chance to see how generative AI provides a rich opportunity to teach students to engage critically with their research process and source material for written assignments. We hope you’ll walk away with ideas for activities\, and lessons that will prepare your students more effectively for research using AI.   \nPresented By: Jen Garrett-Ostermiller\, CTLI Director and Elise Wallace\, Castleton Writing Coordinator \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register for this event and any others of interest in the series of spring 2026 Writing & Generative AI workshops. When you do\, you will receive an automatic email from the CTLI confirming your registration. This email will include the Zoom link and the option to “add to calendar” using an embedded hyperlink – this will work for Outlook\, Google Calendar\, and Yahoo Calendar.

SUMMARY:Guest Workshop: Dr Liz Norell - When and why do students read for class?
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from survey data and focus group findings from a spring 2025 pilot project\, this workshop will share the biggest reasons students say they choose to skip the readings for their undergraduate courses. We’ll then share strategies on how to make the goals of course readings more transparent and meaningful for students\, with plenty of time for Q&A. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of students’ perspectives on course readings and ideas for how to frame the importance of the readings so students can engage with course materials more effectively. \nBio:\n \nDr. Liz Norell serves as Associate Director of Instructional Support in the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) at the University of Mississippi. She has spent more than 20 years teaching in higher education\, including stints in composition\, journalism\, new media\, and political science–much of that as an adjunct faculty member teaching simultaneously at multiple institutions\, including community colleges. She completed a PhD in political science at the University of Texas Dallas. Liz’s first book\, The Present Professor: Authenticity and Transformational Teaching\, is published in the University of Oklahoma Press’s brand-new series\, Teaching\, Engaging\, and Thriving in Higher Ed\, co-edited by James Lang and Michelle Miller. Liz is passionate about equitable\, inclusive teaching\, constructive conversations across differences\, and fostering meaningful learning. She is also dedicated to boosting awareness of disability in higher education. You can find Liz on social media (@liznorell) and at her website\, liznorell.com. \nHow to join the session:\nVTSU faculty members received an email invitation to join this session\, which is scheduled for Monday\, March 9th at 12:00p. Please check your Outlook calendars to join.

SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Series on Writing & Generative AI: Supporting an AI-Mindful Writing Process for Students
DESCRIPTION:Audience: AI Experimenters  \nAI tools (think: grammar fixes\, text prediction) have been a part of the writing process for years before generative AI. Now that tools and platforms can create new content\, the role of AI in the writing process is even more important to understand. In this workshop\, we will look at the potential roles—both helpful\, harmful\, and anything in between—that generative AI can play in the writing process. Using the journey from choosing a topic idea to final written product\, you will get the chance to understand generative AI more thoroughly and consider ways to help both you and your students use AI more responsibly and productively.   \nPresented By: Jen Garrett-Ostermiller\, CTLI Director and Elise Wallace\, Castleton Writing Coordinator \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register for this event and any others of interest in the series of spring 2026 Writing & Generative AI workshops.
