SUMMARY:How Growth and Fixed Mindsets (of Students and Faculty) Affect Learning
DESCRIPTION:“I’m not an art person.” “My sibling got the math gene.” “This student wasn’t cut out for this class.” “I’m just not good at public speaking.” \nThese statements all represent a fixed mindset – the belief that individuals have a set point for their intellect and abilities. Research\, in fact\, shows that intellect and abilities are far more malleable than once thought – with the right effort\, strategies\, and support. When someone has a growth mindset\, they use a “not yet” framework when they hit a limit or experiences failure. For most people\, the mindset they approach a situation with is contextual – someone can have a strong growth mindset in one situation and then exhibit a strong fixed mindset in another. Learning how to monitor one’s mindset and shift to a growth mindset is extremely useful for students and faculty alike. \nWhen students approach college with a growth mindset\, they can combat stereotype threat\, successfully navigate challenging academic experiences\, and achieve more. \nWhen faculty foster their own growth mindset\, they create a more inclusive learning environment by challenging prior assumptions\, defining more pathways and strategies for learning\, and approaching assessment through a new lens. \nCome engage with CTLI staff and other faculty in thinking about ways to nurture a productive growth mindset for greater learning. \nBy attending this workshop you will:  \n\n*Define growth and fixed mindsets and the consequences of each for learning\n*Evaluate your own situational mindsets and how you communicate your mindsets in your teaching\n*Consider strategies to help yourself and your students students adopt a more growth-mindset orientation\n\nImportant: Attendees must register for this event. Please do not add the workshop to your calendar until the registration process has been completed. \nPresented By: Jen Garrett-Ostermiller\, Director of the CTLI

SUMMARY:Introduction to the VTSU Canvas Course Template
DESCRIPTION:Studies and survey data indicate that students prefer a consistent experience using a learning management system\, such as Canvas.

Please do not add the workshop to your calendar until the registration process has been completed.

SUMMARY:Metacognitive Strategies for the College Classroom
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been cancelled due to low-enrollment. If you are interested in the topic\, please watch the recording of this workshop from earlier in the week. \n  \nInvesting a little class time in incorporating metacognitive activities can lead to stronger outcomes for students. Empowering students to take control of their learning\, become better problem-solvers\, and better assess their strengths and gaps can lead to greater success at the course level and persistence through college. \nBy attending this workshop you will:  \n\n*Identify particular aspects of metacognition most useful for students in your class(es) to adopt\n*Consider various metacognitive strategies and activities\, aligned with the metacognition cycle\, to enhance learning in your class(es)\n*Begin planning a metacognitive activity to facilitate in an upcoming class with your students\n\nPresented By: Jen Garrett-Ostermiller\, Director of the CTLI

SUMMARY:VTSU Course Modalities Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In future semesters\, most VTSU academic programs will be offered as “In-Person Plus”\, meaning that the programs will be accessible in some way to students who are not residents of or commuters to a particular campus. Faculty are planning how to deliver these programs through a variety of course modalities. Although the course modalities are not entirely new to the VSC institutions\, we are learning that each modality comes with unique opportunities and challenges. This presentation on the course modalities will help faculty to advance this work as they plan for Fall 2023 classes. It will: \n\nFamiliarize participants with the VTSU course modalities;\nExplore the basic design and pedagogical features of key modalities;\nConsider how various modalities could be used to plan the course offerings in VTSU programs.\n\nThis workshop is being offered through a collaboration of the Castleton and NVU Centers for Teaching\, and Learning\, the VTSU Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation\, and the Teaching and Learning Innovation sub-team of the Transformation. \nPlease click the Add to Calendar button to update your calendar.
