Happy Birthday and Happy National Distance Learning Week!

Happy Birthday to our Blog!

A year ago today, CELT launched its blog during National Distance Learning Week. I would like to thank the CELT staff and the faculty who have contributed to the blog over the past year. A big thank you to our readers as well!

Later today, at noon, you can join us for the CELT panel discussion: Gender Inclusivity and the Teaching Practice.

In this session, panelists discuss ways to acknowledge, incorporate, and include gender identity and sexuality in course design, readings, assignments, and assessments. In terms of gender, we include trans and nonbinary identities, the use of pronouns, and how our disciplines are adapting to gender inclusion. Panelists discuss how they incorporate these topics into their teaching practice and why. We also weave in online delivery for National Distance Learning Week.

Panelists include:

  • Mei Lin (Ete) Chan, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering
  • Chris Tanaka, Assistant Director of LGBTQ* Services
  • Andrew Rimby, Ph.D. Candidate and Queer Activist, English Department

Facilitators:

  • Carol Hernandez, Senior Instructional Designer, CELT
  • Catherine Scott, Assistant Director for Faculty Development – Testing, Assessment & Evaluation, CELT

Please register in advance to attend this Zoom meeting.
