Dear Colleagues,
Please join us on May 16 from 12-1pm via Zoom for a discussion with Pen America titled, “Robust Conversations in the Classroom – Academic Freedom and Inclusion” sponsored by the Executive Office and the Faculty Senate. A flyer with information about the event is attached.
This session is designed to explain the authority of professors in the classroom to set expectations, community standards for communication, and assessments based on information integrity, disciplinary standards, and learning objectives. Concrete tools for classroom activities that can elicit student engagement and open exchange across viewpoints, while also supporting active listening, nuanced dialogue, and community building will be shared.
If you would like to submit anonymous questions or comments before the discussion, please use Slido.
