Resilient Teaching with AI: Tools and Techniques for Challenging Times

9:30 - 10:30 am
Join in to explore practical ways to leverage generative AI tools to maintain teaching effectiveness while reducing workload during challenging times. Learn strategies for streamlining course adaptations, managing communications, and supporting students through disruptions.

Weathering the Storm: Coping with Burnout in a Disrupted Semester 

11:00 am - 12:00 pm
After almost a month of uncertainty and having to adjust courses as a result of two hurricanes impacting our area, it's understandable if some faculty are feeling burnout or exhaustion start to creep in. Join us in this session as we discuss these issues and explore strategies for coping now and building resilience as we look toward future semesters.  

Moving Forward at the End of Term

12:30 - 1:30 pm
This semester has been difficult for faculty and students alike. Amidst the upheaval of the storm, one concern is how we can best support our students as we near the end of the semester. We will discuss a range of topics relevant to the end of the semester, including:

  • academic integrity,
  • conduct concerns,
  • having difficult conversations,
  • recognizing when students are struggling,
  • making appropriate referrals, and
  • helping students holistically.

This workshop is part of the series, Navigating the Undergraduate Journey: Insights for Educators.
