Flexible Teaching and Learning Workshop Series
The Digital Education Collaborative (DEC) and the Center for Faculty Enrichment (CAFE) are offering a series of workshops to help instructors prepare courses for the fall 2020 semester. These workshops will focus on pedagogy (why we do what we do) and technology (how to use appropriate tools) for in-person, hybrid, and online teaching and learning environments
Topics include:
Course Design 101+
Flexible Learning Environments: How to Blend or Flip Your Classroom
Teaching Writing
Teaching Speaking
Diversity, Inclusion, Equity
Designing Assignments and Learning Activities
Teaching, Learning and Effective Communication Practices
Collaborative Learning and Group Projects
Research with Students: Using R for Statistical Computing and Graphics
Faculty Well-Being
We will emphasize developing practices that are specific to your course context; therefore, prior to each session, faculty will complete a situational analysis of the course(s). Each session will be 90 minutes with the option of an additional 30 minutes small group discussion for more focused mentoring.
All workshops are 1:00pm to 2:30 pm, unless indicated otherwise. Workshop details are located @ https://blogs.longwood.edu/covid19online/dec-cafe-workshops/ .
You can register for sessions @ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3J2pr6HqN2egPkeFgEZzd5_QbqILb7w78eVfO1BcT39K10Q/viewform
If you’re a new faculty member, and happen to be here already, please consider signing up for the Longwood University Teaching and Learning Institute. It’s a great chance to work with your future colleagues, and to learn cutting-edge pedagogy. Registration will close on May 10th, so you still have a few days to sign up!
Balancing Student Success with Your Well-Being
Longwood University Teaching and Learning Institute

Blackwell Hall
As educators, we are motivated to create learning environments that cultivate curiosity, encourage self-regulated learning, and challenge learners to critically engage in problem solving. We are invested in teaching disciplinary content and foundational learning skills in Civitae and in the context of our disciplines. We celebrate when students “stick with it” and challenge themselves to learn, and we are stymied when students “give up” too soon or passively wait for our instructions and assistance. Students’ diverse identities pose challenges and create opportunities. College counseling and disability resource centers have seen dramatic increases in the number of students served and severity of diagnoses. What is our role as faculty members? In the context of the learning environment, how do we facilitate student resiliency and well-being? How do we differentiate between what is normal stress and a crisis? How does maintaining healthy boundaries with students ensure course integrity and promote well-being for students and faculty? How do we create learning environments that encourage consistent student engagement and persistence? How do we teach both content and foundational learning skills in the same course?
The Center for Faculty Enrichment (CAFE) invites you to participate in a day of interactive exploration of these questions. In addition to the keynote address, participants will choose from a variety of sessions focusing on the institute theme.
This year’s guest speaker is Lindsay Kubaryk, a senior analyst at the Educational Advisory Board (EAB)’s Strategic Research division. In this role, she works with chief student affairs officers on their most pressing areas of concern, including student mental health, sexual violence prevention and reporting, and diversity and inclusion.

The first 25 people to register will have the opportunity to select from a library of books focusing on teaching and learning.
Registration will close on Friday, May 10 @ 5:00 pm. Go to https://forms.gle/1FUSWxCJi9gSRJ9w9 to register
