Teaching Circles

Faculty are encouraged to form self-organizing teaching circles to collaborate on teaching and learning issues, or to simply support one another in teaching endeavors.

Want to pair up with a colleague for focused discussions on teaching?
If so, join a Teaching Circle! Trying something new or revisiting something old, focus on a strategy, technique or product with a colleague to share insights based on experiences and research as you observe each other's classes throughout the year. Since two points don't determine a circle, your pair can meet with other pairs of faculty a few times to discuss and gain feedback from interdisciplinary pedagogical perspectives. Work culture grants are available to help pay for materials that support your work together as well as food for the larger group meetings (up to $250).

Can I form a trio or quartet instead of just a pair?
Certainly! The Teaching Circles can be self-organizing and have any form. We are suggesting one possible form that some may want to join.

Are the CTL Work Culture grants available if I form a Teaching Circle different than the ones that are being suggested in this notice? Absolutely! The format suggested here we felt might be easier for faculty to start – pairing with someone with whom he/she wants to work, and then getting together in a larger interdisciplinary group a few times to share ideas and challenges.

A colleague and I want to join a Teaching Circle. What do we do now?
If you want to join other pairs a few times during the term for interdisciplinary discussions on teaching, please email Annette Gerten (gerten@augsburg.edu) or Matthew Haines (haines@augsburg.edu) and we will provide more information.

How do we apply for Work Culture grants?
Go to http://www.augsburg.edu/ctl/forms.html and use the Group and Individual Project application.

Blended Learning Series

Blended learning has come to mean everything from web-enhanced face-to-face learning to, but not including, courses that are fully online. Integrating online technologies can enhance and enrich learning; online tools also help differentiate instruction. A recent meta-analysis reported by the U.S. Department of Education found that blended learning produced higher performance on learning outcomes than either online or face-to-face learning.

As part of the Foundational Series, we introduce the use of online technologies to enhance face-to-face classes. This year, we are also introducing a series to explore strategies for using online applications to enhance learning. The Blended Learning Series, co-sponsored by IT, is offered from 8:30-10:00 on Third Wednesdays, and includes the following workshops:

October 19 – Using Moodle to Create a Community of Inquiry (Velma Lashbrook)
November 16 – Designing and Facilitating Meaningful Online Activities (Cari Maguire and Heather Ek)
January 18 – Digital Video and Audio Tools (Anita Fisher, Scott Krenz, and Nathan Lind)
February 15 – Web Access: Universal Online Design Principles (Hans Wiersma, Eric Strom, and CLASS resources)
March 21 – Online Assessment Techniques and Academic Integrity (Scott Krajewski and Emily Harrington)

CTL and IT also offer passes for faculty to explore online technologies through workshops offered by Sloan-C (Sloan Consortium of Institutions and Organizations Committed to Quality Online Education). Those interested in participating in these courses (see http://sloanconsortium.org/2011workshops) can request a pass from Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

CTP Portfolio Workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to help candidates for any type of Committee on Tenure and Promotion (CTP) review to determine the various forms of evidence that can help build a strong portfolio. The focus is on evidence of teaching, but the strategies directly apply to scholarship and service as well. This workshop is not designed to replace departmental guidance and advice nor is it an analysis of the Faculty Handbook language as it applies to an individual. The workshop is facilitated by Diane Pike and Su Doree and will be held at the following times:

Thursday, October 13, 9:10-11:10 in the Cedar Room
Tuesday, October 18, 3:15-5:15 in Lindell 202
Thursday, May 24, 1:00-4:00 in Lindell 202

Following the workshop, participants are encouraged to form groups to review each other's portfolio materials and provide feedback and support. If you plan to attend one of these sessions, please rsvp to Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

Reading Circles

This fall there are three reading groups forming to explore a variety of topics. All faculty and staff are welcome to participate in these, although we'd recommend that you choose only one. The groups include:

Resilience
Four personal narratives on having the inner strength to overcome barriers in life, led by Melissa Hensley.

The purpose of this group is to explore the idea of resilience by reading four memoirs of people who have overcome substantial barriers in order to achieve success. The group will read these books and discuss both personal and environmental factors that contributed to resilience and the capacity to overcome hardship. In particular, the role of educational organizations and systems in promoting resilience will be explored. The group will meet twice in the fall and twice in the spring, to discuss four different books. These brown bag discussions are scheduled as follows:

Friday, October 14, 12:00-1:30 – Welcome, Silence, by Dr. Carol North
Friday, December 9, 12:00-1:30 – Breaking Night, by Liz Murray
Friday, February 13, 12:00-1:30 – The Other Wes Moore, by Wes Moore
Friday, April 13, 12:00-1:30 – Balancing Two Worlds: Asian American College Students Tell their Life Stories, edited by Andrew Garrod, Robert Kilkenny, and Vernon Takeshita

To register for this book group, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

Race
Talking about race to support all our students, convened by Bev Stratton

As Dwight Garner's NYT review of Randall Kennedy's The Persistence of the Color Line says, we are "One Nation, Still Divisible by Race." This fall a staff-faculty book group focused on race will read Beverly Daniel Tatum's "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" And Other Conversations About Race. Discussing racial identity development through Tatum's book should help us learn to support all of our students. The group may continue in the spring focusing on Kennedy's book or another title. Fall meeting dates are four Wednesdays, 12:10-1:10 in the Cedar Room:

September 28 – A Definition of Terms (Chapters 1-2)
October 19 – Understanding Blackness in a White Context (Chapters 3-5)
November 9 – Understanding Whiteness in a White Context (Chapters 6-7)
November 30 – Beyond Black and White, and Breaking the Silence (Chapters 8-10)

To register for this book group and receive a copy of the book, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

Teaching
A Graduate Faculty Teaching Circle will meet monthly from 4:00-6:00 on the first Wednesday of the month (except in January). This year we will read and discuss Susan Ambrose's How Learning Works: Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching. The dialogues will be facilitated by Velma Lashbrook and include:

October 5 – How Does Students' Prior Knowledge Affect Their Learning? (Intro and Ch. 1)
November 2 – How Does the Way Students Organize Knowledge Affect Their Learning? (Ch. 2)
December 7 – What Factors Motivate Students to Learn? (Ch. 3)
January 18 – How Do Students Develop Mastery? (Ch. 4)
February 1 – What Kinds of Practice and Feedback Enhance Learning? (Ch. 5)
March 7 – Why Do Student Development and Course Climate Matter in Learning? (Ch. 6)
April 4 – How Do Students Become Self-Directed Learners? (Ch. 7)

If you register, you should plan to attend at least five sessions during the year. If you would like to participate, please rsvp to Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

In addition to readings, discussions, videos, poetry, spiritual exploration, and music; it also includes reflective time in a natural setting to think about how the discussions apply to our lives.

Vocatio Chapel with Brian Krohn

In the gospels, we read how when the disciples were called by Jesus, they immediately left everything to follow him. Nowadays, we hear current stories about people who are called to leave behind their comforts and securities and venture into unknown territory, using their gifts to make a difference in the world.

You are invited to participate in the 2011-12 Vocatio Chapel Series on the theme "All Shook Up: The Call to Change." Campus Ministry and the Center for Faith and Learning (ACFL) present a line-up of local leaders who will talk about their personal faith journeys and their unique calls--whether it takes the form of non-traditional work hours and locations; mid-career changes; battles with illnesses; or fostering change in themselves, organizations, and systems.

Vocation is often a focus at daily chapel, and the Vocatio Series is another intentional way for a public worship expression of the College's commitment to the theological exploration of vocation. You are invited to come and bring others from your class, floor, department, or campus organization to explore vocation together. We also hope to explore questions like: How can you honor your call to be a student amidst a desire to be a part of a big change? How do change and consistency relate? When feeling a bit "shook up", how might one seek God? And many more. We hope the entire community engages how faith influences change and how change influences faith!

The kick-off to this series will be Wed., September 21, 10:20-10:40 a.m. Our guest speaker will be Brian Krohn '08, a Rhodes Scholar. More information about Brian can be found at http://web.augsburg.edu/~fieldl/SeptVocatio11.pdf

Students, faculty, and staff interested in attending a luncheon with Brian Krohn from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. should RSVP to Lonna Field at fieldl@augsburg.edu by September 19.

Navarre Wins 100th Career Game for Auggies

http://athletics.augsburg.edu/news/2011/9/13/wsoc091311.aspx?path=wsoc

MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg College women's soccer head coach Mike Navarre earned his 100th career victory on Tuesday evening, as the Auggies scored a 1-0 win over visiting Bethel University in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest at Edor Nelson Field.

In his 13th season, Navarre has the most victories of any Augsburg women's soccer coach in the 27-season history of the program, with a 100-89-31 career record. He currently stands third among active MIAC women's soccer coaches in career wins.

"I was not intending to comment on the 100 mark, but the fact that the players gave me a water cooler shower was really touching. I was not expecting it to be a big deal, so their recognition of the accomplishment meant a lot. After all, its really an accomplishment for all the players I've had the pleasure of coaching at Augsburg," Navarre said.
