[Bill Moore]

On March 12th and April 16th the UT Dana Center is hosting faculty webinars; see below for details. They are on topics of general interest, NOT just for math faculty, so please spread the word to colleagues and faculty on your campuses.

These sessions are interactive so registration is requested; the link for the March 12th session is below (April 16th link will be sent later). Thanks!

Dana Center Webinar Series

1.   How do Faculty Adjust "Just-in-Time" to Meet the Needs of the Students?


Date & Time : March 12, 2019; 3:00-5:00 pm PT

Zoom Log-In: https://utdanacenter.zoom.us/j/589469943

Telephone option: (669) 900-6833; meeting ID 589 469 943



Description: Are you and your students able to monitor progress towards achieving learning outcomes in the classroom in real time? What do you do with the information you gather about student understanding? In this highly interactive, two-hour webinar, participants will explore the difference between formative and summative assessments, collaborate with peers to practice and share learning assessment techniques used in the classroom, and discuss ways to adjust teaching and learning based on the results.



A significant amount of time will be spent collaborating in virtual breakout rooms with peers from across the Washington. For best use of the breakouts, participants should join individually from a computer with a working microphone and camera. They are encouraged to meet with campus colleagues after the webinar to discuss what they have learned. The webinar will be recorded and available for later viewing individually or in small groups.



NOTE: This webinar is focused on broader instructional issues relevant but not specific to math co-requisite courses.  This is an interactive webinar so there's a registration process that will enable the Dana Center to have a sense of how many people are attending; here's the registration link:

2.   What's All This Fuss About Growth Mindset and Other Psychological Factors?

Date & Time : April 16, 2019; 3:00-5:00 pm PT

Zoom Log-In: https://utdanacenter.zoom.us/j/639924770

Telephone option: (669) 900-6833; meeting ID 639 924 770



Description: In recent years, a new article or book has appeared every few weeks on the importance of fostering growth mindsets, resilience, and belonging in today’s students. How can college educators translate this research into practice? What difference do these psychological factors make in college math classrooms anyway? In this webcast, participants will explore strategies to foster growth mindsets, build resilience, and increase belonging in mathematics/quantitative reasoning classrooms. Participants will also learn about currently available resources for addressing psychological factors in course design and daily instruction.
