Explore using personality quizzes as a teaching tool! We will share and take some teaching, learning, and personality surveys together and discuss how these can be both self-reflective and community-building activities in the classroom. Discover whether you're a rabbit, hawk, turtle, or tiger, and how you and your students can best utilize your animal strengths to achieve academic success.

Join us as we explore the ways in which craftmaking activities in the classroom can be utilized as culturally responsive teaching practices. Get ready to try your own hand at a few cultural crafts (supplies provided), share additional cultural crafts and resources, and contemplate ways in which you might incorporate craftmaking into your pedagogy.

Many SF State students are attempting to achieve their college goals while raising children or struggling with basic needs instability. These students face particular challenges, but the good news is there are resources and strategies to help them succeed. In this workshop, Karen Boyce, Director of Health Promotion and Wellness, and Ryan Farquhar, Health Communications Specialist, will educate faculty on the needs of their special population students, share resources that can help them, and provide strategies that can be used in the classroom to help them succeed. 

“While we teach, we learn” – Seneca (Roman philosopher). The best way to understand a concept is to explain it to others. To promote active learning in classrooms and research labs, students can take on the role of a teacher, sharing their knowledge with friends, family, and the community.

Please join CEETL for a workshop led by Chemistry and Biochemistry Professor Jingjing Qiu who will share about how she uses social media and podcasts to enact co-teaching, and she will share and facilitate a discussion for co-teaching with students in the sciences. 

Faculty participants at this workshop will:

• Learn and share strategies/teaching approaches for encouraging students sharing their knowledge in different formats outside classrooms.
• Discuss ways to integrate social media for students to share their knowledge.
• Share and discuss outreach activities/ideas outside classroom teaching such as those related to RSCA.
• Build community with other faculty who are interested in promoting students’ learning with social media.

We will be meeting in Library's Maker Space (LIB 260) which has a podcast room and podcast equipment for faculty to borrow.

In this CEETL, AT, and Library collaboration, learn the basics of using open educational resources (OER) to save students money and support teaching and learning. OER can encompass a variety of materials,  including syllabi, lesson plans, learning modules, lab experiments, simulations, course videos, discussion prompts, assignments, assessments, library guides, and course design templates.  

  Join us to learn more about OER and tools for finding, creating, and customizing open resources. CSU faculty who adopt OER and other low- or no-cost course materials are eligible to apply for an Affordable Instructional Materials Initiative (AIM) grant. 

The 2022 State of California’s Blueprint for Higher Education and the SF State 2023 Strategic Plan have established goals to ensure that all students participate in at least one transformative educational experience or high impact practice to prepare them with the knowledge and skills that they need to succeed.  Undergraduate RSCA is one of the high impact practices that has been shown to increase student success and employability in the workforce.  The goals for this workshop are to: 

• Learn and share strategies for incorporating undergraduate students into your own RSCA. 
• Discuss ways to incorporate research experiences and creative activities into your courses (CURES – Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences) 
• Engage with SF State CREATE – the new hub for student RSCA opportunities on campus. 
• Build community for faculty currently working with undergrads on RSCA and those who might be interested in getting started. 

This workshop will be facilitated by CEETL Advisory Board member Professor Kate Hamel
