High Impact Practices Applying Universal Design Practices to Your Syllabus Bedford - AR/Library, Alcott Room Tuesday March 25, 2014

2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

The workshop will focus on developing syllabi infused with Universal Design principals and designed to meet the learning styles of our diverse learning community.

O’Connor, Disability Support Coordinator

Flipped Classroom: Doing Lectures Online and Homework in Class Bedford - TLRC Friday April 25, 2014

2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Team-Based Learning Bedford - TLRC Tuesday January 28, 2014

2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Lowell - TLRC Tuesday April 15, 2014

2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Team-Based Learning is an “easy-to-implement” strategy for classroom collaboration. It: • Creates community within the classroom immediately and for the duration of the semester; • Motivates students to "do the reading" by due dates; • Focuses student groups on their work and eliminates “slackers”; and • Provides you with the experience of watching and listening to groups of your students discussing, debating, and even arguing about course content during class time! • TBL allows me to focus mini-lectures on material that students need further clarification with, rather than lecturing on their assigned reading, which only teaches them that they don’t need to do that reading.

More and more schools are experimenting with “flipped classrooms” lectures which are filmed and assigned to students as homework in order to free up class time for more active learning activities. In this presentation, we will discuss ongoing research on flipped classrooms as well as the experiences of MCC faculty who have used the flipped classroom model.

Metacognition is the ability to know what “we know” and what “we don’t know” and is a major component of Critical Thinking Skills. The more students are aware of their thinking processes as they learn, the more they can control such matters as goals, dispositions, and attention. In this workshop we will discuss different strategies to promote and teach metacognitive skills as well as how to embed them in your course assignments. Moreover, we will reflect on our own practices as educators and think about how we can use metacognitive strategies to learn from, monitor and evaluate our own work. Facilitator: Noreen McGinness, Director of Tutoring Services

Interested in Attending a Conference or Workshop outside of Middlesex for Professional Development purposes? You can apply here for funds: https://www.middlesex.mass.edu/professionaldevelopment/staffproposals/aboutapp.aspx (It is recommended that applicants discuss or review their professional development proposals with their division deans or departmental supervisors before submitting their applications.)

Minigrants The minigrant process is open to all staff and faculty. Proposals for minigrant projects, to be carried out over a semester or an academic year, are awarded for curriculum development or enhancement projects that directly affect student learning experiences. Many practices and programs that originated as minigrant projects have been fully implemented and integrated into classrooms and student service areas. All full-time faculty and professional staff members are eligible to participate in the minigrant program. Part-time faculty and professional staff may submit a joint application with a full-time colleague or an individual application. Applications from individual part-time faculty and staff require a letter of endorsement from the appropriate supervisor. All faculty and staff need to discuss their concept with their Division Dean and/or Program Director to avoid conflict with Program objectives and/or College initiatives. For more information please contact Paulo Barrio at [email protected].

Sabbatical Leave According to the collective bargaining agreement, “The purpose of a sabbatical leave shall be for professional growth, research, or study which may involve travel and which benefits the unit member and the College.” Successful sabbatical applicants generally identify at least one of the following purposes of their sabbatical. First, a sabbatical can provide an opportunity for enrichment in one’s academic area. This work can include scholarly research, a workplace experience that will enhance one’s understanding of their field or activities that lead to creative exploration and growth. Second, a sabbatical experience is often designed to improve teaching and promote curricular improvement and innovation. Finally, the function of a sabbatical leave is to give a faculty or staff member the opportunity to engage in activities that stimulate their personal, professional and intellectual growth. The MCCC/BHE Agreement provides details on the criteria, eligibility, limitations, duration, process, and post-sabbatical report of activity and accomplishment requirements. For more detailed information about the sabbatical application process, faculty and staff are advised to consult their supervisor.

PD Availability Please note that Professional Development (PD) Staff can also be available to all faculty and staff beyond the normal hours of operation. If your schedule requires accessing PD staff to assist you during evening or weekend hours, please contact us with advanced notice to coordinate a meeting. Peter Shea can be contacted at [email protected]. Part-time faculty are encouraged to contact Paulo Barrio at [email protected].

Feedback As an evolving program, the MCC Office of Professional Development welcomes comments, suggestions, and questions which enable us to improve and develop the services that we provide to the college.
