Culturally Responsive Mentoring: A Book Panel Discussion by Freedom Train Riders

3pm ET/12pm PT

Featuring panelists Veronica Franco M.S, Michelle Thomas, Manuel Teran and Jeanett Castellanos Ph.D.

This book offers a proven and holistic model of mentoring practice, developed in the field of psychology, that not only helps mentees navigate their studies and the academy but provides them with an understanding of the systemic and racist barriers they will encounter, validates their cultural roots and contributions, and attends to their personal development.

Recognizing the demands that mentoring places on already busy faculty, the model addresses ways of distributing the work, inviting White and BIPOC faculty to participate, developing mentees’ capacities to mentor those that follow them, building a network of mentoring across generations, and adopting group mentoring.

Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning
Harnessing the Technology That Students Use Most
By Christina Moore
Foreword by Jenae Cohn, PhD

Recognizing that a smartphone is the first and main piece of technology anyone owns, with ownership exceeding 95% for those aged 18-29, with a sizable minority of these being smartphone-dependent; and that instructors are relying on technology for teaching and learning more than ever; this book addresses the imperative that course materials and interactions be increasingly available through the technology that students use most often.

Launching the First-Year Experience Movement
The Founder's Journey
By John N. Gardner

John Gardner brings 55 years of professional experience to telling this story. He begins with the story of how colleges can and do introduce students to life changing perspectives and ideas. In Gardner’s case it was a matter of being introduced to the question: “what is justice?” and then spending his entire professional life seeking ways to bring justice to underserved college students by making changes from the inside of the higher education system.

An online compendium accompanies this book, which includes prompts for guided reflection and questions and topics for discussion, as well as additional material on the author’s background and personal philosophy.

Critical Teaching Behaviors
Defining, Documenting, and Discussing Good Teaching
Lauren Barbeau and Claudia Cornejo Happel
Foreword by Nancy Chick

What does “good” teaching mean, and how can we know it when we see it? Perhaps you have grappled with these questions at some point in your career, either as an instructor wanting to document or grow your teaching effectiveness or as a peer or administrator trying to provide guidance to or assess the teaching of others.

This book serves three purposes: a condensed, evidence-based guide to effective teaching; a resource on creating a focused teaching narrative and teaching portfolio; and a toolkit that equips faculty to conduct peer observations, student midterm feedback, and productive conversations related to teaching.

Rising to Full Professor
Pathways for Faculty of Color
Edited by Caroline Sotello Viernes Turner and Christine A. Stanley
Foreword by Nancy Cantor

“Newly tenured associate professors often ask, ‘Now what? How I do I achieve promotion to full professor?’ This pathway is elusive, especially for faculty of color who remain woefully underrepresented as full professors. Rising to Full Professor is a long overdue contribution centering diverse pathways and naming challenges along the journey. This is a must-read for scholars of color aspiring to full professor and affirmation we are more than worthy of the achievement despite obstacles.”
-Lori Patton Davis, Ohio State University

Cultivating Capstones
Designing High-Quality Culminating Experiences for Student Learning
Edited by Caroline J. Ketcham, Anthony G. Weaver and Jessie L. Moore

Capstones have been a part of higher education curriculum for over two centuries, with the goal of integrating student learning to cap off their undergraduate experience. In practice, capstones are most often delivered as a course or include a significant project that addresses a problem or contributes new knowledge. This edited collection draws on multi-year, multi-institutional, and mixed-methods studies to inform the development of best practices for cultivating capstones at a variety of higher education institutions.

Facilitating an Engaging Virtual Classroom: Building Teacher Presence from Day One
Featuring authors Joanne Ricevuto and Laura McLaughlin
Thursday, 2/16
12pm ET/9am PT

Is teacher presence apparent in your virtual classroom?

During this webinar, participants will explore ways to build more teacher presence in their virtual classrooms. We will provide ideas on ways to help our students get to know us both professionally and personally. We will discuss ways the virtual instructor uses strategies to decide how to best engage students with the use of tools that are within their LMS or outside their LMS. Our focus is not on the specific tools we use but on creating engaging virtual environments where our students thrive and learn. We provide a template to help you think through the use of a tool/strategy and how it might support your student’s learning.

The role of faculty in a virtual classroom is one of a facilitator/coach who supports students to become self-directed and competent learners and we will share ways to do this within the virtual environment. Within our book, Engaging Virtual Environments, we provide tips, tools and strategies to help you build a virtual classroom that is exciting for both you and your students.
