folks who teach in higher ed — what’s your late work policy? p.s. I’m mostly interested in hearing from people who teach through a lens of equity/justice in their classrooms

The core goal for this guide is to support incoming MTLE instructors: it's a resource embedded on fellowship Canvas page. For this reason, we've focused on texts that include applied examples of teaching principles in practice.

This is an ongoing project: we're always open to suggestions, critique, & discussion. Our goal is for this tool to be useful, so if there's a text that has made a difference to your teaching and mentoring that isn't on this list, we'd love to hear about it.

We've been slowly curating a guide to our favorite pedagogy-related books and resources available through the @UWMadLibraries and are thrilled at how many excellent and practical teaching, learning, and mentoring texts are one click away as library ebooks. researchguides.library.wisc.edu/mtle/home

We’re so excited to have the new @UWMadEngr Associate Dean for Inclusion, Equity and Diversity, Chris Castro, as our seminar speaker today.

Let’s hear it for the incredible Chris Castro! 🎉

This Library Collections Enhancement Initiative through the UW-Madison Libraries looks like a fabulous opportunity to shape teaching, learning, and research. research.wisc.edu/funding/librar…

There's a ton of great workshops coming up for graduate students in the coming weeks and throughout the semester. We'll highlight some of these events on our feed, but make sure to check out our graduate student events calendar for a fuller list of events: grad.wisc.edu/uw-events/

It's the time of the semester where I find myself turning to Caleb McDaniel's lovely date-lister-and-formatter tool again and again. I love tools like this and am grateful to those who share them! wcaleb.rice.edu/syllabusmaker/…

If you have approaches to maintaining supportive and equitable learning environments during this election-week/month, we'd love to hear about them.

"Engaging" doesn't have to be elaborate--it could be something as simple as acknowledging that the election may be on students' minds and hearts.

We wanted to share a resource for those of you who are reflecting on how to address the tension, excitement, fear, and hope of this moment in your teaching: "Acknowledging Responses to the 2020 Election in Your Classroom" wisc.pb.unizin.org/mtle/chapter/2…
