SUMMARY:Conversations with Colleagues (April 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Equity and Ethics: AI and Accessibility \nThis conversation will focus on these kinds of questions: \n\nWhat has been the experience this year with AI and accessibility? What did we learn from that? What do we want to do in the future based on this learning? \n\n\nWhat is being done differently across campuses in terms of support for accessibility services\, including what technology tools and support services students and faculty have access to. \n\n\nWhat is missing in support of accessibility? \n\n\nWhere are there equity gaps across campuses in the use of accessibility strategies and tools?  \n\n\nHow do we emphasize disability justice and anti-ableist pedagogy as a lens for AI use and accessibility? What work is or is not already done in this area? \n\n\nWhy do we need to focus on accessibility? What are the civil rights issues at play? Education justice?  \n\n\nWhat are the nuances of implementation? Different students need different tools\, scaffolds\, and support. So do faculty! \n\n\nWhat are easy strategies that everyone can use with AI tools we all have access to through the university to easily implement accessibility strategies? For example\, Microsoft Copilot for formatting written directions for student assignments. \n\n\nConversations with Colleagues is a welcoming\, virtual gathering space designed to connect faculty and staff across Minnesota State. Whether you’re joining from your office\, your kitchen table\, or between classes\, bring your lunch and your curiosity as we come together to share ideas\, ask questions\, and learn from one another. \nNote: To prioritize real-time sharing and connection\, these sessions will NOT be recorded. \nEach session begins with a brief 5–10 minute presentation that introduces a timely or thought-provoking topic. From there\, we move into dynamic\, facilitated discussions\, both in small breakout groups and larger conversations\, where participants can explore the topic more deeply\, exchange perspectives\, and discover new approaches to teaching\, learning\, and working in higher education.  \nThis year\, our topics are guided by the Minnesota State Network for Educational Development theme – Empowering Every Learner: Strategies for Universal Access. This focus invites us to reflect on inclusive practices\, accessible learning environments\, and strategies that ensure all students can thrive.  \nThis is more than just a meeting—it’s a chance to:  \n\nLearn something new or see a familiar topic in a fresh light \n\n\nShare your own experiences and insights \n\n\nAsk questions and hear how others are navigating similar challenges \n\n\nBuild relationships and expand your professional network across the system \n\nWe believe that the best ideas often emerge through conversation. Conversations with Colleagues is hosted by faculty and staff from the Minnesota State Educational Development Committee and is open to all who are interested in fostering a culture of collaboration\, innovation\, and mutual support.  \nJoin us—and be part of the conversation.  \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\nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.

SUMMARY:Mid-Career Magic: How Culturally Responsive Teaching Can Keep Us Afloat (Spring 2026)
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve spent a decade or two in the classroom\, you’ve likely settled into a good groove. You know what you’re doing. You’ve seen a lot of stuff. You’ve made it through a global pandemic. Congratulations! Despite all this hard-won wisdom\, however\, you might also feel tired. Maybe a little concerned about your students and the changes you’ve seen in them over the years. Maybe even a little bored. You’re not alone! In this discussion-based webinar\, we will look at the challenges we face as mid-career instructors and how Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) might help spur the curiosity about where our subjects and our students’ experiences intersect. According to Madeline Will and Ileana Najarro in Education Week\, “Culturally responsive teaching means using students’ customs\, characteristics\, experience\, and perspectives as tools for better classroom instruction.” What does the emergence of CRT mean for an instructor with a decade or even two’s worth of experience in the classroom? \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 facilitator Kelli Hallsten Erickson. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.
