Tools, Templates, and Practical Planning for Community-Engaged Learning Designations
Workshop/Training | Sparkshops
This Sparkshop is designed for faculty who incorporate community engagement or project‑based methods into their teaching and want a clearer path for developing CEL‑designated courses and learn about why they are powerful. The session begins with a brief, focused overview of Community Engaged Learning followed by a guided, step‑by‑step walkthrough of the CEL course designation and planning process. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of CEL principles, an instructional design module they can use for faculty development, and a practical checklist for implementing CEL projects in their own courses.
Saying No with Grace and Strategy: Protecting Your Time While Being Collegial
Workshop/Training | Sparkshops
Faculty are often asked to take on service opportunities, but knowing when to say yes or no can be challenging. This Sparkshop will explore strategies for evaluating opportunities based on your priorities, workload, and professional goals while setting healthy boundaries and maintaining positive relationships with colleagues.
Fostering Student Well-Being: Strategies for Mental Health Support
Workshop/Training | Sparkshops
Mental health conditions among students in higher education – including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and other mental health challenges – are on the rise. Today’s student population also includes neurodiverse individuals who report higher levels of loneliness, stress, and mental health concerns compared to their peers. This session will provide practical strategies and resources for proactively creating a learning environment that supports student learning and well-being – particularly among students who are experiencing (or at risk for) mental health challenges. Attendees will explore appropriate ways to adapt teaching methods to foster inclusion, encourage resilience, and support academic success.
