Conversations with Colleagues – November

Description

Teaching Experiences Listening Session

Spring and Fall 2020 have presented many challenges to teaching and learning across Minnesota State campuses for instructors and students. There have also been many learning opportunities during this time period. During this month’s Conversation with Colleagues, we invite you to share your experiences with us in a listening session. We are seeking your input on the following:

• What resources are needed through your campus and/or system office level to help you be successful in teaching during this pandemic?
• What is lost/gained when a class is taught online?
• Describe your teaching experiences last spring and this fall.
• Share other comments or feedback about your teaching.

When colleagues readied themselves for emergency remote teaching this spring, we all received a powerful reminder in the value of social learning. Colleagues from across the system who had been separated from one another through physical distance came together online to share ideas and learn from one another.  We would like to sustain this social learning through Conversations with Colleagues, a program for those who are interested in connecting with one another.

Meet new faculty, gather with long-time friends from across Minnesota State, and bring questions and ideas (along with your lunch) to these monthly gatherings that will include conversation starters and an opportunity for both large and small group conversations. Additionally, you’ll be able to add your name to a searchable list of faculty and staff who are willing to share their expertise and areas of interest with others.
