This year\u2019s theme, \u201c<strong>Teaching for the Next 100 Years<\/strong>,\u201d is both a celebration of the university\u2019s rich teaching tradition and a call to action for the journey ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The day will offer much more than just workshops. It\u2019s a space to pause and reflect on what has worked in our classrooms, to share the innovative strategies we\u2019ve tried, and to consider the challenges we all face\u2014whether it&#8217;s navigating the complexities of AI in education or managing sensitive conversations with students.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our <strong>Teaching Scholars in Residence<\/strong>, faculty who have dedicated their efforts to advancing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), will set the stage for conversations about how reflective teaching practices can transform not only the classroom but also our relationships with students.<\/li>\n<li>We welcome <strong>Claire Baytas<\/strong> and <strong>Dylan Ruediger<\/strong> from <strong>Ithaka S+R<\/strong> to guide our thinking on the role of <strong>AI in the classroom<\/strong>. Their insights, combined with input from UBalt\u2019s own <strong>AI Professional Learning Community<\/strong>, will help us navigate the complex, often overwhelming, task of integrating AI tools into our pedagogy while ensuring our students\u2019 learning experiences remain personal and meaningful.<\/li>\n<li>The program includes a session on <strong>best practices with Canvas<\/strong>, where we\u2019ll explore how to make the most of our learning management system to support student success.<\/li>\n<li>In today\u2019s polarized world, we know that<strong> managing difficult conversations<\/strong> in the classroom can be daunting\u2014so we\u2019ll tackle that, too, in a workshop designed to offer tools and strategies for creating productive, respectful dialogue with students.<\/li>\n<li>Of course, teaching doesn\u2019t end when the class does. A session on <strong>service learning<\/strong> will explore ways to engage students within and beyond the classroom, encouraging them to connect their learning to real-world challenges and opportunities for civic engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking to explore new ideas, refine your teaching practice, or simply connect with colleagues who share your passion for teaching, Teaching &amp; Learning Day offers a chance to pause, reflect, and move forward together. We\u2019ll break for lunch to honor the <strong>Excellence in Transformative Teaching Award<\/strong> recipient\u2014a moment to celebrate the meaningful work happening every day in our classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Join us on October 25th as we step into the next 100 years of teaching at UBalt. <strong>Register today<\/strong> to ensure your place in this important conversation: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/TLDay2024\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">bit.ly\/TLDay2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we approach UBalt&#8217;s centennial celebration, we find ourselves in a unique moment\u2014one that asks us to reflect on our<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6618,"featured_media":1243,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,14,6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6618"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1237,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236\/revisions\/1237"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubalt.edu\/celtt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
