In this series, we will explore and discuss six common practices of effective college teachers. Fulltime faculty will share their best practices and lead many session activities and discussions. A central component of this series is your opportunity to identify one or two strategies to implement in your courses based on the insights, stories, and research findings in Ken Bain’s book; implement those strategies between sessions one and three; and share the results with your colleagues in the final session. Ken Bain’s book will be sent to registrants before the first session, and those who attend all three sessions will receive a $150.00 stipend. Participants who previously completed the series in Fall 2013 are not eligible to receive a second stipend for this Series. Here’s a peek at just a few of the questions we’ll consider: n What does research show about what the best college teachers expect of their students and how do those expectations improve student learning? n How does knowing about how we learn influence the way the best college teachers teach? n What are several key preparations that the best college teachers do to prepare for teaching the course content? n What do the best college teachers believe about their students and how do those beliefs influence how they teach? Whether you are new to teaching, or have taught for a long time, join your colleagues this semester for an opportunity to share teaching ideas and challenges, build a spirit of community with other faculty, and discuss teaching and learning strategies that help support student engagement and success. The series will be offered at South Campus on Fridays in February from 9am–2pm on: Friday, February 7 South, P155 Friday, February 21 South, K324 Friday, February 28 South, K324 A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided each day. Learner-Centered Teaching Managing Classroom Conflict and Incivility ★NEW★ Tell Me a Story – The Power of Narrative in Your Classroom ★NEW★ Linda Bajdo, Professor of Psychology Michael Placco, Professor of History Deborah Armstrong, Associate Director, Academic Development This interactive workshop will focus on preventing and defusing conflict and incivility in the classroom. Emphasis will be on critical reflection of conflict styles and behavior, evaluation of the situations likely to lead to classroom incivility, and practical ideas for creating a positive classroom environment. n Ken Bain’s book will be sent to registrants before the first session Friday, January 31 Reg Code: 21714 9–11:30am South, J221 n Faculty who attend all sessions will receive a $150.00 stipend Friday, February 14 Reg Code: 21715 9–11:30am Center, C267 Register for the three-day series via WebAdvisor using registration code: 21703 How Do You Know What Students Know? Friday, March 28 Reg Code: 21809 10:30am–12pm Center, UC PDC1 Room 108 Deborah Armstrong, Associate Director, Academic Development Comments from past participants: “This is a great opportunity for faculty to share and exchange ideas (on) ‘best practices.’ I especially liked the classroom project presentations which will give you some great ideas to use in your classes.” “The presentations, activities, book, brain-storming, and informal discussions were useful, fun, thought-provoking, and beneficial.” “This is a great seminar. Come with an open mind and be prepared to learn a lot!” “I would highly recommend this series. It’s fun, interactive, and gives a lot of really good ideas that can be implemented in the classroom right away!” You’ve given a compelling lecture, engaged students in a lively discussion, and answered their thought-provoking questions. Surely now they know the content … right? Wouldn’t it be great to have one or two quick and easy activities to demonstrate to you … and your students … what they understand about what you’ve just taught them, and what misunderstandings still linger? This highly interactive workshop will introduce you to several activities designed to quickly provide insight on students’ understanding and misunderstanding. Participants who attend this workshop will receive a complimentary copy of Cross and Angelo’s Classroom Assessment Techniques. Monday, February 10 Reg Code: 21716 2 Who doesn’t love a story? We all do! We tell stories to illustrate significant points, clarify ideas, and give color to important events. Storytelling as an instructional strategy can engage your students in the classroom and online, and there are specific skills associated with storytelling that can give your stories pedagogical significance. In this workshop we’ll explore how to tell stories and teach with stories, how to locate stories and supporting resources, and how to involve students in your stories. 10–11am South, J211-1 3 Create Your Own Series Faculty may create their own individualized series from the following topics. Attend a minimum of four workshops from the following group and receive a $75.00 stipend. Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day. Pre-registration is required for each workshop through WebAdvisor, using the registration code provided for each topic. After four workshops have been attended, faculty will be required to email AcademicDevelopment@macomb.edu for verification of attendance and the stipend request. Yes Virginia, It’s Still Okay to Lecture Learning to Write and Writing to Learn Don Ritzenhein, Ph.D., Professor of Communication, Eastern Michigan University Cindy Bily and Jim Young, Professors of Reading Lecturing is a key teaching method for most college teachers. However, lectures have come under considerable criticism because they are easily forgotten, fail to engage students, and can be deadly boring. It does not have to be so! A good lecture requires the same careful preparation as any good speech. Don’s popular presentation will help guide you through the simple, but powerful, techniques for creating memorable and engaging lectures. Friday, January 31 Reg Code: 21751 10am–12pm South, K324 Great Ideas to Activate Student Learning Deborah Armstrong, Associate Director, Academic Development and Adjunct Professor Whether you teach philosophy, mathematics, engineering, or business management, come to this session where we’ll explore active learning strategies that work! You’ll walk away with at least three great ideas and practical guidelines to implement engaging activities in your classroom. Topics under consideration include designing classroom discussion activities, creating and evaluating group projects, and how informal classroom assessment techniques do double-duty for you and your students. Friday, January 31 Reg Code: 21752 12:30pm–2:30pm South, K324 Students often sharpen their skills in their composition courses, but that doesn’t mean they’ll write well in their other classes. Studies show that students whose instructors require writing and support the writing process across their education tend to write better in courses outside of composition. This interactive workshop will show you how to reinforce the writing process in your classes, effectively respond to student writing, and devise topics to help your students write better essays, reports, abstracts, and other products. It will also show how you can use the act of writing to help students master your content, no matter what subject you teach. Friday, February 14 Reg Code: 21753 South, K324 Susan Richardson, Ph.D., Professor of English We value critical thinking in our classes, but not all of us have considered encouraging students to reflect on their learning as a way to achieve it. The presenter will report on her case study research with students in five English composition classes. Her research demonstrates how the students’ use of a variety of self-reflective tools stimulated their critical appraisal of their writing and made them more aware of their writing processes. This interactive workshop will focus on how you can incorporate student self-reflection into your own curriculum to help students develop greater awareness of not only the course concepts, but also their own progress in the class. 12:30pm–2:30pm Teaching Important Concepts Through the Use of Games Heather Mayernik, Professor of Reading Jonathan Oaks, Professor of Mathematics Jonathan Lathers, Professor of English for Academic Purposes Have you ever felt like your students don’t take the time to read your assignments or worse, don’t understand what they have taken the time to read? This interactive workshop will show you how to help your students read with a purpose, use their textbooks smarter and more efficiently and aid you in creating more reading-friendly assignments no matter what subject you teach. Friday, May 2 Reg Code: 21755 10am–12pm South, K324 Everything You Wanted to Know About Special Services at Macomb and More! Patricia Dolengowski, Counselor–Special Services, Center Campus Lou Aquino, Counselor–Special Services, South Campus This workshop will provide an overview of the Special Services department at Macomb and the populations it serves, types of documentation that are required to qualify for services, accommodation requests, classroom assistance letters, learning styles, etc. Scenarios will be introduced to demonstrate the services that the counselors provide. Friday, May 2 Reg Code: 21757 Promoting Reflective Students Friday, February 14 Reg Code: 21754 4 10am–12pm The Reading Connection: Helping Students Navigate Through Text 12:30–2:30pm South, K324 In this workshop participants will explore how the game dynamics from familiar games, such as Balderdash, Connect Four, Hedbanz, and Jeopardy, can be used to teach and reinforce important vocabulary and concepts. Several games will be explained, followed by examples, time to play, and discussion about how the games could be adapted to be used in their own discipline. Friday, May 9 Reg Code: 21756 10am–12pm South, K324 Active Learning Norman Cure, Professor of Economics The advantages of active learning are that it allows students to become involved in the learning process while enhancing their learning. There is no requirement by the instructor to coerce or look for participants; these techniques will help to involve all of your students. While these techniques do not have to be embedded in every class, the techniques introduced in this workshop are ones that have been successfully used on the first day of class and throughout the semester. Friday, May 9 Reg Code: 21758 12:30–2:30pm South, K324 South, K324 5 Course Assessment, Syllabi and Curriculum Professional Enrichment for Faculty and Staff Course Design: A Hands-on Approach Fearless Course Assessment! Deborah Armstrong, Associate Director, Academic Development Mary Lou Kata, Director, Academic Development Deborah Armstrong, Associate Director, Academic Development Are you designing or redesigning a course this semester? This workshop is for you! You are an expert in your field. You know the intricacies of your discipline and how to communicate your disciplinary knowledge and experience to students.

Tuesday, February 11 Reg Code: 21717 5:30pm–8pm Are you looking for ways to measure student learning across courses over the span of a semester? Are you interested in using tools that go beyond pre- and posttesting? We’ve got great news! There are many ways to assess student learning of course outcomes, including collecting student artifacts and using common rubrics. Please plan to join us to explore a variety of authentic assessments you can use to gather information on student learning. We’ll look into types of assessments and rubrics, the number of students and courses to select for assessment purposes, and identify the types of resources the Office of Academic Development has to support your assessment projects. We’ll also let you know when your courses were last assessed and help you prepare an assessment plan – the first step in the process. This workshop is designed for faculty (usually full-time) who are responsible for course assessment across all sections.

Join us in this series to find ways to make those connections with the help and benefit of technology. Workshops: 1.Flip Your Classroom 2.Capture Your Classroom, Capture Your Students! 3.Using Social Media to Boost Learning 4.Going Mobile Flip Your Classroom Capture Your Classroom, Capture Your Students! ★NEW★ Tom Bradley, Instructional Technology and Curriculum Technician Somewhere along the way, you may have flipped out, done back flips or even seen Flipper on T.V., but have you ever flipped your classroom? By flipping a classroom, faculty members provide content or assignments for students to complete prior to class. Once in the class the faculty can focus on in-class projects that help the student integrate and implement the content. Thus, less class time is used for lecture. This workshop will define what a flipped classroom is, provide examples of flipped lessons, indicate technology that could be used and provide examples of what projects students could complete during class. Following the fashion of flipping a lesson, you will be asked to watch a short video prior to the workshop. In the workshop you will create an agenda, identify resources and create a project list for a lesson that you could flip for your class. Friday, February 7 Reg Code: 21730 1–3:30pm South, J211-1 Tom Bradley, Instructional Technology and Curriculum Technician Bill Drummond, Instructional Technology Specialist Are your students dividing their attention between engaging in classroom activities and taking notes? Do they need a better way to study for exams or review what you talked about in class last month? Introducing Panopto, a cool tool that can be integrated with ANGEL and can record and play back the learning content delivered in your classroom. Click Start. Click Stop. Click Upload. Video, audio, PowerPoint, your computer screen, everything is recorded and made available to your students minutes later in ANGEL. In this workshop we will show you how to install the Panopto recorder and how to make the recordings available to your students in ANGEL. We will also explore what your students will experience when you use this valuable tool. Bring your laptop, microphone, and webcam. You’ll be recording before you know it! Learning is inherently social, and the way we use the Internet has been revolutionized thanks to social media. How do we take the intersection of learning and social media to engage students in high levels of learning? By using social media features such as Twitter, Facebook and others you can enhance the interaction of your students with the course material, both inside and outside the class. During this hands-on workshop you will learn how to create and manage these applications and discuss their educational possibilities, along with the challenges and concerns of integrating them into your class. Friday, January 17 Reg Code: 21731 1–3pm Saturday, January 18 Reg Code: 21732 10am–12pm South, J211-1 Online 1–3:30pm South, J211-1 Going Mobile Bill Drummond, Instructional Technology Specialist There is no doubt that the use of mobile devices is in growth mode: tablets and smartphones have surpassed desktops in purchases and soon Internet usage. But the question is, are mobile devices a learning tool or a distraction? How do we, or should we, use devices that have become the information hub for students in our classrooms? We will begin discussing mobile usage at Macomb and find out what the college and others are doing in this arena. Then we will address what you and your students can do to begin using mobile devices to support learning. Come prepared to share ideas and apps! Friday, March 21 Reg Code: 21734 14 Friday, February 28 Reg Code: 21733 Using Social Media to Boost Learning 1–3pm South, J211-1 15 Advancing...Your Presentations Series Overview: The workshops in this series are designed to help take your presentations to the next level. Enhance your PowerPoint presentations by understanding and using the tools available in PowerPoint. Refine your message and use visuals to make your lecture/ presentation more memorable. Workshops: PowerPoint Advanced Narrating PowerPoint for YouTube Teaching that Sticks Tom Bradley, Instructional Technology and Curriculum Technician Bill Drummond, Instructional Technology Specialist Tom Bradley, Instructional Technology and Curriculum Technician Go beyond the basics to add punch to your presentations. In this session, we’ll explore master views to create a clean, consistent look throughout your presentation. Also, we’ll explore using templates, color schemes, backgrounds, transitional effects, and various multimedia to convey messages more effectively. (Prerequisite: PowerPoint Basics, or comfortable working with the toolbars, views, and layouts in PowerPoint) 1.PowerPoint Advanced In this workshop faculty will learn how to record a narration of a PowerPoint presentation and convert the recording into a video format. Faculty will also explore creating a YouTube channel with playlists so that they will have a place from which to stream these videos. Faculty will discuss privacy settings on YouTube and learn how to embed YouTube videos into ANGEL. Finally, faculty will practice their new skills by recording a narrated PowerPoint presentation and uploading it to Macomb’s YouTube channel. 2.Putting Zen in Your PowerPoint Presentations 3.Narrating PowerPoint for YouTube 4 .Teaching that Sticks Tuesday, January 28 Reg Code: 21741 1–3pm South, J211-1 Tuesday, March 18 Reg Code: 21743 Putting Zen in Your PowerPoint Presentations A sticky idea is an idea that’s understood, that’s remembered, and that changes something (opinions, behaviors, values). As an instructor, you’re on the front lines of stickiness. Every time you teach you have to make ideas stick…and let’s face it, this is no easy task. In this workshop, we will discuss a number of approaches that have been used in the classroom to create a message that is clear and will stand the test of time. We will learn why some ideas thrive while others die, and beat the “curse of knowledge,” the single biggest obstacle to clear messages. Inspiration for this workshop is taken from the best-seller, Made to Stick, by Chip & Dan Heath. 1–3pm South, J211-1 Tuesday, April 8 Reg Code: 21744 Tom Bradley, Instructional Technology and Curriculum Technician 1–3:30pm South, J211-1 PowerPoint is a great tool that is often misused. Effective presentations are relatively free of “bullets” and use simple but interesting visuals to reinforce important concepts. Bring a few of your presentations to work on clarifying your message and improving your presentation’s visual appeal. Recommended but not required reading before the session is Presentation Zen, by Garr Reynolds, from which this workshop takes its inspiration!

In order to address a variety of learning styles (since not everyone is auditory or textual), alternative methods may need to be devised. This may include actual lessons, instructions for assignments, or simple how-to directions for the underprepared or novice students in the class. This webinar will demonstrate how to use various safe freeware software options that exist for instructional use. These include a package that allows one to capture the actual screen in real time (excellent for showing how to use a website or how to use a particular software package); YouTube video capture/converter software; transforming PowerPoint to movies that can be opened and not edited regardless of operating system and basic video capture (with a brief discussion of fair use). As more and more budgets get cut, the availability of funds to purchase instructional aids or software to create them is diminishing. These budget-friendly options allow one’s creativity to shine and to create products that contribute greatly to student success and performance. Preparing for the Future through Leadership Academies Cathy Brewster, Professional Development Manager, Truckee Meadows Community College (NV); and Karinda Barrett, Director, Center for Teaching, Learning and Leadership, Tallahassee Community College (FL) Leadership Academies, designed to develop emerging leaders within the college, is the focus of this webinar. Models for establishing a practical and effective program that aligns with the strategic needs of your college will be explored. Planning a leadership academy? You will get a toolbox of strategies and resources for growing your own program. Looking for ideas for your existing leadership program? You’ll hear some different activities that may help you jazz up the program at your college. You will also hear about the value of collaboration as two NISOD colleges in Florida and Nevada created synergy and stronger leadership academies through their association. Join us to find out what a leadership program can do for your institution and how to make it happen. 19 NISOD Webinars NISOD Webinars The Positive Power of Effective Feedback for Learning and Engagement Things Change! Remaining Engaged in a Changing Environment Janeth Franklin, Faculty Developer, Glendale Community College (AZ) Kevin Tutt, Partner, Tutt & Daggs Creative Performance Improvement (TX) Active and engaged teaching practices will be modeled to share the latest research on the positive gains in learning and engagement that can be attained through intentional, specific, and strategic feedback practices in the higher education classroom. Feedback can either construct learning and engagement or be destructive to learning and engagement. If it is strategic, it can increase and empower students, peers and instructors in an exciting reciprocal growing process which increases the quality of student participation and develops their ownership of the learning. This webinar will highlight feedback practices embedded into this learning experience and will show participants how to begin to execute effective feedback in their own learning environments. When you think about all the changes in education over the past 25, 10, or even two years, it can become overwhelming to think about all the things you have been asked to do and how quickly things change. In this session, you will recognize that change is inevitable and is constantly on the horizon. With that knowledge, you now have a choice as to how you deal with change. We will identify three ways of dealing with change and understanding how making the right choice will not only help you maintain your commitment level but will also drive you to take action. You will be given strategies to focus on the bright spots and the most important moves needed to make positive changes. Online Homework: Assessing Student Participation and Outcomes Laurie Parker, Assistant Professor, Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, College of Pharmacy, Purdue University Center for Cancer Research Learn about a case study and ongoing research project that assesses the relationships between student engagement in an online homework system and their course performance, which we believe is related to their learning outcomes. We hypothesized that appropriately designed online homework can be effective in managing student learning needs in a large enrollment science class. Results will be presented and strategies for getting the most out of an online homework system—both for the student and the instructor—will be discussed. 20 Flipping the Classroom (How brain research, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and Chickering & Gamson’s Principles say it works) James May, Professor ESL, Faculty Fellow for Innovation and Technology, Valencia College What does the research show about teachers actively engaging students in problem solving (i.e. homework) in the classroom and leveraging the power of technology to receive more traditional work (lecturing) at home via computer/smart pad/or smartphone? In this presentation we will discuss the research and reasoning behind the approach. How does the approach work with what we know as best practices for teaching millennial students? How does flip teaching fit Bloom’s Taxonomy? How does the approach hold up to Chickering and Gamson’s Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education? How is the growing field of brain-based research better informing this studentcentered approach? Just what exactly does the research say about Flip Teaching? This will be a fast paced and highly visual discussion that summarizes and reviews the research and reasoning. You will also most likely pick up a Teacher Trick or two on how to better utilize SoftChalk to flip activities in your own classrooms. Flipping the Classroom for a Nationwide Community College/Industry Collaboration Walt Barlow, AMTEC Curriculum Director, Workforce Education Specialist, Kentucky Community & Technical College System This flipped classroom program is used to teach current community college students and to re-train auto industry employees. This NSF funded National Center for Excellence, the Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC), involves 30 community colleges and virtually every automobile manufacturer in the USA. SoftChalk was used to shift the “lecture” to digital lessons students complete on their own so that the time they spend with their instructors can be better spent solving real-world problems. AMTEC subject matter experts and instructional designers developed a hybrid online associate degree program in general mechatronic maintenance composed of 12 courses, sorted into 90 stand-alone modules, each aligned to validated industry skill standards. In this presentation we will discuss how AMTEC, this unique collaboration of colleges and industry partners, developed hybrid online lectures and in-person labs to contextualize instruction so that students are more engaged and gain valuable experience in maintaining and troubleshooting complex integrated manufacturing systems. Discussion will include how AMTEC’s use of SoftChalk has been integral in developing a mechatronics maintenance curriculum that drives cost down, better aligns to industry skill standards, and helps instructors to target instruction based on student needs. In addition, we will discuss AMTEC’s current work using SoftChalk Cloud to create fault-based scenarios to further improve student learning and better analyze student performance against critical skill standards. When You Can’t Beat ’Em, Friend ’Em: Using Social Media and New Technology to Galvanize Your Class Amy Baldwin, Instructor, Pulaski Technical College (AR); Steve Piscitelli, Professor, Florida State College at Jacksonville The “i-generation” has invaded our classrooms demanding that we do things differently. Employers want us to provide graduates with 21st century skills. For many of us, these new academic and workforce realities leave us “a-twitter” over how to use social media and new technologies to encourage deep learning. If you are interested in learning more about using social media to engage and motivate students, join this interactive and informative webinar designed for educators just entering this brave new world. Flipping a Public Speaking Course (A Competency-Based Approach) Virginia Gregg, Professor, Communication Studies, Minnesota State University Moorhead In this Public Speaking course flipping helps the student be “emerged” into the content. This is accomplished using ‘Learning Modules’ to gain competency along with WorkPacs for practice, and ComPacs to develop their own content (speeches in this case). The ‘Learning Modules’ were created with SoftChalk and include auto-graded assessments and activities. The SoftChalk ‘Certificate’ feature is used to motivate and document! Thus, both student and teacher know the content has been learned. The student is pleased with the Certificate and earns points for it, and there’s no hand-grading for the teacher. WorkPacs (Work Packages) are created for student practice. They are imbedded in the Learning Module and use Bloom’s Taxonomy levels to indicate the expected learning level. These ‘Practice’ WorkPacs are automatically graded, and students earn Participation Points with successful completion. ComPacs (Competency Packages) align with the WorkPacs, but now students enter content related to their own projects. This requires some teacher-review and hand-comments. However, after students learned the content and application through Learning Module, Self-Assessments, and WorkPacs, the ComPacs are submitted in good shape. In this webinar you will learn how this process can make student work ‘stellar,’ as opposed to simply meeting expectations. (A true joy for both teacher and student.) 21 NISOD Webinars Digital Storytelling: Making Media That Matters Completion by Design: Reforming Student Success Intervention Joe Lambert, Executive Director, Center for Digital Storytelling Bree Obrecht, Associate Program Officer, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Lara Couturier, Program Director, Jobs for the Future Donetta Goodall, Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs and Student Success Cynthia Ferrell, Associate Director, Achieving the Dream, The University of Texas at Austin (Moderator) This webinar will highlight the methods and approach of the Center for Digital Storytelling in engaging educators and students in making purposeful digital media. Storytelling and story have become euphemisms for new social and emotional learning approaches that seem more and more vital to our success as contemporary educators. Can storytelling inform all disciplines of learning? And what are the ways that digital storytelling has been used successfully in the community college context? Lambert will review his direct experience, as well as the experiences of colleagues in the community college field, as part of his presentation, with plenty of time to address questions and issues that are arising from the audience at the webinar. Finish What You Start: How One College Doubled Completions Jason Watts, Chief Academic Officer, Snead State Community College (AL) This webinar will outline a series of simple, high-impact changes Snead State Community College made over the past three years that doubled the number of graduating students. Can we restructure the community college student experience to dramatically increase completion rates? That is the central goal of Completion by Design—a bold national initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Join experts who will share insights about how colleges across the country are implementing proven interventions targeted at critical transition points where we traditionally lose many students. Hear the inside story about one leading college’s success. All participants will receive a set of tools for adapting and implementing the Preventing Loss, Creating Momentum Framework. Redesign and Modules and Change, Oh My: The Adventures of Integrating Technology into Developmental Curriculum Jane Neuburger, Director, The Tutoring and Study Center, Syracuse University (NY); and President, National Association for Developmental Education Jane Serbousek, Mathematics Professor, Northern Virginia Community College, and Chair, Virginia Community College System Curriculum Team for Developmental Math Redesign Cynthia Ferrell, Associate Director, Achieving the Dream, The University of Texas at Austin (Moderator) Join us for a conversation about the many new innovations in developmental education.
