Transparency in Teaching and Learning (TILT) Transparency in Teaching and Learning (TILT)

Location:

Providing students with clear information about what to expect in a course and assignments provides equitable opportunities for college students and transparency and context for their learning. Research by Dr. May-Ann Winkelmas has shown that transparency in teaching not only helps students succeed in their individual courses but also increases student retention and overall success. In this session, we will discuss the TILT (Transparency in Teaching and Learning) framework and ways of making teaching and learning transparent for our students so that they can cultivate deeper interest in learning and reap the benefits of their hard work, especially those of underrepresented and first-generation status.
Facilitator: Dr. Stefanie Baier (Director, Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Instructional Development, MSU Graduate School
A Zoom link will be sent the day before the workshop.

MSU AGEP supports recruitment, retention, and graduation of underrepresented U. S. minorities in doctoral programs of the natural and social sciences, mathematics, and engineering. The MSU AGEP Learning Community is an informal environment where students from varying disciplines can gather, share their research in a 10-minute presentation, or discover that their graduate toils are not unusual. Those in attendance are privy to information regarding fellowships, career opportunities, even summer internships, pertaining to the group.
