LU Monday Moment - Faculty Development Coffee Talk

How do you want to end your semester? What do you need to do to get there? Put a date on what you need to do so you can end strong.  Also - Faculty Award nomination info, OSU Writing Project, and optional faculty development information.

This week, we talk about nudging students in the right direction by using midterms as a chance to reflect, quick tips for self-care so that you can keep your momentum going, and what Dr. Des Delk means when he wishes us to have a perfect day.  This is coffee talk is uplifting and one to listen to any time you need a quick refresh.

In this short and sweet podcast, I am updating you about some optional opportunities for you: Quick Writes, Teams Training, and Excel Foundations.

Career Fair Days are here, and Ms. Leonelle Thompson, the director of LU's Career Services, shares how you can support students as they look for jobs at the career fair.  Also, there are some upcoming opportunities on Friday: Quick Writes for Teachers (that's you!) and Excel Training at CTI.

This week, I am sharing an idea about having students create a soundtrack for their textbook and some upcoming opportunities for you.   Enjoy our Monday Moment of Faculty Development!

This week: learn to reduce the friction with MLA and APA templates (which are already made and ready for your students), and plan to attend the Transforming Teaching and Learning Zoom sessions and OCO's summit in April.  All this is in the podcast, the transcript, and the Faculty Development Canvas page.

During our Langston University spring faculty institute, Professor Golbaba talked about how he reaches out to students to help keep them engaged in the class and promote retention and success.  He talked about calling and emailing students outside of Canvas, and Ally Sharp is building on that by explaining how to message students inside Canvas based on grades.
