Ever noticed how we write our hearts out in feedback for the students, only to find that they don't absorb it fully? Or worse, didn't read it at all? Let's work together to combat the burn out and disappointment by developing skills to streamline our assessments to be more accessible, take less time and still focus on giving that valuable feedback. Let's give that feedback a facelift and use AI, Rubrics and more in a hopefully whole new way.

Universal Design Learning: Building a Classroom Culture for Engagement in a Sustainable Way
Wednesday August 13, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am MDT
Zoom
Universal Design Learning is more than a phrase. It's ever developing, adjusting, and changing with our diverse student base to be as flexible an educator as possible, within reason, of course.  However, let's face it. As the instructor, you only have so much time, and the bandwidth needed to maintain changes can be enormous. Let's take some time to talk about empowering students with a classroom culture that invites everyone to the table, while respecting the bandwidth and risk of burnout we all run into. Let's talk about some resources, tips, and tricks to help you develop a culture for yourself that is focused on awareness, differences, and ultimately, trust. All easily and simply maintainable!

People, Potential, and Possibilities: The Sky's the Limit Once we Learn to Fly!
Wednesday August 13, 2025 12:30pm - 1:30pm MDT
Zoom
We're educators; we believe in potential, possibility, and people, but how does that translate into the day to day lecture? First of all, the three P's aren't possible without the three C's: communication, connection, and consistency. In order for a person to reach their potential or take advantage of possibilities, they need to have the confidence within themselves that they are worth the time that they would spend on the endeavor. I'm here to help guide you through communication strategies, that when used consistently in your classroom can increase connection, create possibilities, and lead to a growth in people potential.

When we think of excellent communicators, we probably don't think of the people yelling "Stee-rike!" behind home plate. Ironically, baseball umpires take communication incredibly seriously and offer us excellent lessons we can use at work and in the classroom. In this infobyte, you will learn from a real-life baseball umpire about how umpires consider perspective, audience, and discretion when managing the ball field. You may even have an opportunity to call strike three yourself! (No prior knowledge of baseball required.)
