Life of the Mind Retreat

This year's Life of the Mind Retreat will be held at Oak Ridge Conference Center from 11:30 Saturday, October 22 through noon on October 23, 2011 and focus on "Social Inequity and Global Poverty." All faculty, staff, and administrators are invited to participate. Each year, we hold a retreat to explore a topic of interest to us as global citizens – a topic that is informed by numerous disciplines and can best be addressed through a transdisciplinary approach.

The two-day retreat will address the history of development on different continents, global economic disparities and their effects, oppression as reflected in theater, and confronting class in the classroom. 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. Planners for this year's retreat are Kevin Bowman, Orv Gingerich, Steve Peacock, Sarah Myers, and Katie Clark.

To register for the overnight retreat and obtain the readings, contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu). If you are willing to share a room to help reduce our expenses, please let her know. Since there are a limited number of participants possible, reservations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

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 Cedar Room
Tuesday, October 18, 3:15-5:15 in Lindell 202

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 alone.

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 with 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 14 – 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).

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

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)

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.

New Downtown Campaign: Auggie Eagle, Business Bird

Augsburg has launched a fun, new promotional campaign in the Minneapolis skyways to call attention to our downtown Minneapolis MBA location. The ads feature "Auggie Eagle, Business Bird" and include QR (Quick Response) codes that link to short videos, playable on a smart phone.

For those in the Augsburg community who don't have the opportunity to get to the Minneapolis skyway, we've posted the videos online: http://www.augsburg.edu/mba/bizbird.html . We've also made posters and digital screens of the skyway ads, so those on the main campus can click the QR codes to see the videos.

Thanks to the following staff for making this campaign possible: Chad Schneider, video; Stephen Geffre, photography; Kathy Rumpza, graphic design; Bryan Barnes, web; Mark Chamberlain, in his debut role as Auggie Eagle, Business Bird; Wendi Wheeler and Kathy Rumpza, who served as "Auggie handlers" during the video and photo shoots; and Carola Thorson for originating the idea to help us effectively reach and raise awareness among downtown workers.

We hope you enjoy the video vignettes and will share them with your friends and colleagues!
