What does "good teaching" mean, and what does it look like? Perhaps you have grappled with this question, either as an educator seeking to improve your own teaching practice or as a colleague asked to assess the teaching of others. This book club is for you! Join us to explore an evidence-based guide to effective teaching and learning! In this book club we will examine teaching effectiveness through the lens of the CTB framework of high-level behaviors that can be adopted and adapted to individual instructor and disciplinary context. More practically, it relies on evidence that can be observed by peers, leans on student feedback, and one's own reflective narrative of teaching effectiveness. Discover equitable and inclusive strategies, participate in productive conversations centered around teaching and learning, and access a toolkit of resources to apply from day one. The book offers a holistic method of documenting and assessing teaching effectiveness by including a variety of evidence and perspectives to both develop teaching skills and demonstrate achievements in promoting student learning. Each session is framed around the questions, "What do we know," "What do we do,", and What do we show?" and will focus on: -Identifying behaviors of good teaching -Reflecting upon the teaching behaviors already in practice -Implementing research-based, effective teaching behaviors across each of the six CTB categories -Documenting teaching behaviors -Conducting and/or reflect on peer observation -Collecting and/or reflect on midterm feedback -Using a core value statement to purposefully select and frame evidence of effectiveness in a coherent teaching narrative Location: Hartford Times Building (HTB) Room 209 Time: 12-1pm Dates: February 5 – Kickoff to meet the facilitators and pick up the book February 12 – Align components of learning experiences to defined outcomes February 19 – Midterm Student Feedback using GIFT February 26 – Include for student diversity by utilizing accessibility standards March 5 – Peer Observation adapted to your needs March 26 – Engage students purposely to encourage active participation in the learning process April 2 – Assess through meaningful and transparent techniques and feedback April 9 – Integrate Technology using tools to provide access to high quality instructional materials April 16 – Reflect/Identify Core Values to explore opportunities for growth April 23 – Creating a Narrative of Teaching Effectiveness You can sign up for individual sessions or the entire series!   Registration link: https://forms.office.com/r/BSh3Pff4BA (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2Fr%2FBSh3Pff4BA&data=05%7C02%7Ckim.schwarz%40uconn.edu%7C3de52d7402404c08828a08dd2f53da2d%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638718762309081675%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ukeT9tJ8OnpbP%2BNZHY4Pb%2B9XGkBwPVeA55o4tkhi9Pg%3D&reserved=0)

Prof. Gregory A. Fiete, Northeastern UniversityNonlinear optical probing and control of magnetic and electronic quantum geometry Illuminating a material with light can reveal both interesting aspects of electronic and lattice degrees of freedom, as well as drive phase and topological transitions in the material itself. In this talk, I will focus on three distinct responses of a material to light: (1) Nonlinear phononic control of magnetism in bilayer CrI , MnBi Te , and MnSb Te. (2) The non-linear photogalvanic response of Weyl semimetals with tilted cones and chiral charge up to 4 (the largest allowed in a lattice model), as well as the topological superconductor candidate 4Hb-TaS , and (3) The coupling of phonons to electronic degrees of freedom to produce chiral phonons with large g factors of order 1, which can be measured with Raman scattering.  I will discuss how these nonlinear responses are related to the underlying quantum geometry of the Bloch states and present a perspective on interesting frontiers in out-of-equilibrium quantum materials.

Race, Superiority and the Attack on Humanity Join us for the next "Philosophy Talks" Series with Professor Lewis Gordon! It is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frantz Fanon and Malcolm X (El-Malik Haj-El Shabbaz). So we ask: In a society that compels one group of people to wear white masks of superiority, while another group is locked into their skin in a condition below human, what happens to human beings? Dr. Gordon will explore these vital issues with students, faculty and staff. Open to all.Snacks will be provided by Winfield Street Coffee!  This is an Honors Event.

Archimedes approximated \(\pi\) by inscribing circles with polygons having many sides. For hundreds of years, Archimedes' "method of exhaustion" was the best-known way to approximate \(\pi\). In this talk, we will see how calculus led to the development of more ways to calculate \(\pi\). We will also see how some of these methods can be modified in order to produce faster approximations of \(\pi\). Finally, we will take a look at some of the modern ways \(\pi\) is calculated.  Note: Free refreshments. The talk starts at 5:40.
