The Chief Inclusion Office offers a weekly resources announcement to the Clarkson Community. The resources are meant to help people explore diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging [DEIB] for themselves, in their communities, and in our institution. They may be resources that help you re-examine society and do some introspective reflection, explain core concepts like intersectionality or anti-racism, or practical guides for action, such as how to review a syllabus for equity-minded practice.
The resources are linked in the announcement and saved to a common google folder for all to reference, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a0DXWcmwl4a5zM5lMsBZR_7uk8_OZhIY?usp=sharing.
If you would like to share thoughts on resources, please contact Diversity@Clarkson.edu. We will also be using some of these resources as the basis of workshops and professional development throughout the year.
This week we offer resources on transparency in teaching and learning. Here we focus on the TILT project. As you continue in the semester use these resources to think about the unwritten rules of classes and college in general and making sure when assigning students’ work the purpose, task, and criteria come through clearly. These elements can also help in thinking about communication to the community in general.
The Transparency in Learning and Teaching project aims to improve higher education teaching and learning experiences for faculty and students through two main activities:
1Promoting students’ conscious understanding of how they learn
2Enabling faculty to gather, share and promptly benefit from current data about students’ learning by coordinating their efforts across disciplines, institutions and countries
The following resources from the Transparency in Learning and Teaching project (TILT Higher Ed) can help faculty, educational developers and administrators to apply the Transparency Framework (of purpose/task/criteria) in contexts including assignments, curricula, assessment and strategic initiatives, all toward the goal of enhancing student success equitably
