SUMMARY:Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (Fall 2025)
DESCRIPTION:October 6 – 26\, 2025\n\nShort Course\n\nDescription \nOur chancellor has given us the challenge of eliminating our equity gaps by 2030. How can we\, as instructors\, shift our teaching practices to meet this goal? One promising path is to ground those practices in Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP). In this introductory course\, we’ll have the opportunity to examine how well our current practices align with the central tenets of CRP. CRP advocates that good teaching draws on the knowledge and skill our students bring to the classroom\, creates supportive relationships that allow students to take learning risks\, and prepares students to challenge barriers to their full flourishing. In this course we will increase our knowledge of some foundational CRP practices. \nTraining expectations are weekly short readings and weekly contributions to asynchronous discussions focused on how we might incorporate CRP into our teaching practices. All participants will receive a copy of Zaretta Hammond’s Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain\, which will be an option reading for the short course. \n\nCourse Learning Objectives \nThrough engaging in the work of the training\, faculty will be able to: \n\nGain ideas for incorporating central tenets into outcomes\, materials\, assessments\, activities\, syllabi\, and relationships.\nIdentify interconnections between microaggressions\, structural racism\, stereotype threat\, and course success.\nUse our increased knowledge of CRP to share with\, support\, and encourage other faculty learners to increase everyone’s skills at CRP.\nTrace how our values have changed and/or deepened through engaging in course.\nCreate a professional development plan for making next steps on the journey of culturally responsive teaching.\n\n\nTechnical Skill Requirements\n\nUse a web browser\nCreate\, save and upload Word documents\nNavigate Microsoft Windows\nCreate and send an email using your Minnesota State account\nEvaluate and decide whether or not to use OneDrive\nSet up\, Attend\, and Participate in Zoom gatherings\nPerform basic tasks associated with the following D2L Brightspace tools: Content\, Quizzes\, Surveys\, Discussion\, and Assignments\n\nSuggested Audience \nFaculty (Full-time and part-time)\, Instructional Designers and Technologists\, Faculty Developers/Trainers\, and Concurrent Enrollment Instructors.\n \nEstimated Time Commitment \nMost participants are able to complete this course by committing 4-6 hours per week. \nReflect on your Professional Development \nAs you progress through this course\, please consider how you can use the assignments as a way to highlight your work on your Professional Development Plan.

SUMMARY:Strengths-Based Advising (Fall 2025)
DESCRIPTION:A subtle but pernicious challenge to students from marginalized populations navigating higher education is the presence of deficit thinking in implicit and explicit forms. Advising\, as a primary and ongoing site of personal and academic discovery for students\, can be one location where deficit framing has the greatest impact. As advisors\, the way we speak about\, react to\, and raise up a student’s background and goals can significantly impact their desire to persist at our institutions. \nThis webinar will explore the ways a strengths-based advising practice can foster more equitable and supportive advising interactions. We’ll discuss questions and framing that support strengths-based advising and scenarios where strengths-based advising can be challenging but potentially transformative. We’ll also consider how language focused on strengths can support individual\, departmental\, and institutional change. The webinar should provide the opportunity to learn and practice concrete strategies that can start to shift our advising practice away from deficit framing. \nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation. \n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact the Network for Educational Development. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.

Fortunately\, there are easy and useful tips and tools we can use to empower students through getting one of the primary things about them right: their names. Join us to learn more. \nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate!\n​\nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible.\n​\nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation.\n​\n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact facilitator the Network for Educational Development. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Instructor Presence in the Online Classroom (Fall 2025)
DESCRIPTION:You can leverage the power of instructor presence to strengthen relationships with students and enhance communication and engagement in your online courses. The efforts that we make to connect with our students in our online courses can increase student success.

You will also discuss and share ways that you currently create instructor presence in your online courses\, and brainstorm ideas for how you might enhance your instructor presence. \nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation. \n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact the Network for Educational Development. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.
