Reinert Center's Annual Faculty Workshop Is January 9

12/03/2024

The Reinert Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning is once again hosting the Winter Institute, an annual faculty development workshop held the Thursday before spring classes begin.

This year's event, titled Teaching, Learning, and Neurodiversity, will be from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 9, in Il Monastero. 

This half-day event will begin with a presentation over lunch to ground participants in a shared set of definitions and approaches surrounding neurodiversity and universal design for learning. The lunch presentations will be followed by three mini-workshops on specific elements of the updated guidelines for Universal Design for Learning as they apply to teaching neurodiverse students. 

Participants are encouraged to bring their own course materials (e.g., syllabi, assignments, exams) to apply strategies and lessons learned throughout the afternoon. 

Registration is required. Lunch will be provided.
