Greetings everyone! My name is Rashad Muhammad. I am a Learning Experience Designer in the Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology. As we begin the new year, I am excited to step into the role of the project manager for the Catalyst Innovation Program. Catalyst Innovation Program was designed to incentivize the MSU community to develop creative and innovative student learning experiences by funding projects that encourage discovery and experimentation. 
In this spirit, it is with great enthusiasm that I present this year’s 2019-2020 Catalyst Innovation Program recipients:

This year we increased the total number of winners from 10 to 16. Each proposal was double-blind peer-reviewed. Thirty-five applications were received, each seeking to improve the learning experience at MSU for and with students. 
Jeff Grabill, Associate Provost for Teaching, Learning, and Technology said “As we iterate toward a more explicit story about MSU’s digital learning future, it seems necessary to provide as many opportunities as possible for faculty and students to experiment, invent, make, and learn. This program is one of our small bets to create space for faculty and to see what happens.”
MSU’s Chief Digital Academic Officer Brendan Guenther points to the rapidity with which innovation happens, and how structures must adapt – “Catalyst awards give us a rapid investment lever for individuals in the #iteachMSU community, when they sense the need for innovation and have an inspired idea, we can give them the boost needed to make something happen.”
As the year progresses, we will share out stories to keep you updated on the progress these projects are making. Our goal is to empower our recipients to experiment, learn and share that knowledge with the rest of the MSU community. If you missed this application cycle, the next opportunity will be available in the Fall of 2020. Get your ideas ready!

"Anniversary reactions may occur because of the way a traumatic experience is saved in memory. Memories of trauma contain information about the danger during the event."-National Center for PTSD
Office for Resource and Support Coordination (ORSC) Educator Guidance

Acknowledge February 13 and its significance via a one-time statement but avoid constant, regular, or frequent reminders.
Validate that everyone will have their own reactions to the anniversary.
Respect the wide range of reactions and emotions to the commemoration that will occur.
Remember not everyone in the class may have been part of the community last year.
Include those who were not present by acknowledging that not everyone will have the same reactions; this can tie them to the community now.
Trust and believe your students who express the need for additional time, space, and support during this period.

6-Word Framework for Resilience
Laughman, L. (2017) The 6-Word Framework for Resilience.  Michigan State University.University Health and Wellbeing, Spartan Resilience Education  spartanresilience@msu.edu
Sentence Starters to acknowledge the eventsGoals: Collective empathy, understanding, & care

Before Class:




“Next week marks one year since the tragic shooting on campus. Our class will {your approach} before carrying on…”
“I understand that our next class session may bring up strong emotions as we reflect on what has happened. Please know that your feelings are valid and respected here…”
“I want to acknowledge that our upcoming class might be difficult for many of us. Please know that it's completely okay …”




During Class (Feb. 12):




“Today, as we reflect on what happened a year ago, our classroom is a community where all feelings are valid and respected”
“I want to begin class acknowledging the solemnity of the remembrances this week, and honoring the unique ways in which we all process this…”
“ Our memories of Feb. 13 challenge many of us and leave us all processing in our own way…”



Practicing Care (for yourself):
To do this work, it is vital to have had the space and time to honor and attend to your own needs. Have you had the time to have your own voice heard?  Have you given yourself the rest, nourishment, and space for the internal reflection you need in order to be present for others? Consider author Eleanor Brownn's statement, "Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel." Here are recommendations from National Center on PTSD - “What can help” section of “Reactions to Chronic Stress”: 

Increase self-care and sleep hygiene. 
Practice relaxation exercises.
Make use of periods of reduced stress. 
Organize your thoughts and feelings. 
Gain a broad perspective.
Help others.

What is Microsoft Teams? Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration tool which is part of the Microsoft Office365 suite of software applications. In one team workspace, the tool allows for real time collaborative work through chat, as well as file sharing. Other Teams features include calling, asynchronous chat and threaded conversations, meetings, and synchronous video conferencing for up to 250 attendees in a private Teams meeting.
  
Who might consider using Teams? Microsoft Teams might be ideal for instructors and students interested in having one workspace that allows sharing work, editing content collaboratively, storing and sharing files, instant chatting, setting up meetings, and video conferencing!  
 
Why use Teams? There are several reasons why you could choose to use Microsoft Teams. It is a useful tool for organizing content in a collaborative and engaging workspace for either a few individuals or large groups. Teams can be used across multiple devices. It is a free mobile application which students can communicate with regardless of location, without giving out personal contact details. Teams is a great alternative to other synchronous video conferencing tools which might not be available in some countries. 
 
How to use Teams? For teaching and learning with Teams, instructors can request a class team in D2L, set up a Team for a class and then create channels within the team. Channels can be around groups or specific topics. The online tutorial on how to use Microsoft Teams for remote and online learning is a great resource for learning more about Teams. 
 
Where to access Teams? With an MSU net ID, Teams can be accessed by going to spartan365.msu.edu and logging in with your MSU credentials. To learn more about all the features and functions of the tool, the Microsoft Team homepage is a great resource. 
 
Stories/Feedback? We would love to hear from you about your experiences with Microsoft Teams. How are you using Teams in your class? What are your students’ perceptions of Teams and experiences so far? If you would like to share some of your Teams stories (frustrations, joys, surprises) or need more information about Teams, contact the MSU IT Service Desk at ithelp@msu.edu.  
 

This week, we are featuring Dr. Eleanor (Ellie) Louson, one of the Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation's educational developers! Ellie earned her bachelor’s degrees from Bishop’s University, her master’s degree in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Toronto, and her Ph.D. in Science & Technology Studies at York University. She has a joint-appointment as an educator in Lyman Briggs College, MSU, where she teaches courses in the History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science. Her research interests include wildlife films’ representation of animal behavior and interdisciplinary, experiential teaching and learning. Her teaching, research, and learning design backgrounds have taught her the value of interdisciplinarity, storytelling, and engagement for higher education. Ellie is originally from the Montreal area and plays in a rock band. Ellie has also been a recipient of the #iteachmsu Educator Award!
Read more about Dr. Louson’s perspectives below. #iteachmsu's questions are bolded below, followed by her responses! 


In one word, what does being an educator mean to you?  
My one word is “care” but it’s more care-as-doing than the emotional dimension of caring. As a teacher, I want to support my students being able to thrive in our class and in their broader lives. I do many things before and during class to support them, including a pre-course survey to learn about their tech and accessibility needs, as well as anything relevant to their situation during the pandemic. I design my classes with lots of flexibility and many assignments are open format. I use an Annotated Syllabus activity so that students can ask questions and make suggestions before I finalize it.
What does this word/quality looks like in your practice? Have your ideas on this changed over time? If so how?
I check in with students in lots of ways. At certain points in the semester, I check in to make sure they understand their progress towards the learning goals and flag any missing assignments. I also start each class with a check-in to give them a mindful moment to reflect on how they’re doing in 3 words, and I turn those check-ins into a word cloud to visualize patterns and to help me be responsive to the class’ energy levels. [Here’s an example word cloud. I use www.wordclouds.com to generate them]
 

I don’t have late penalties, but weekly assignments are spread throughout the syllabus as a marker of the expected pace of work. Students have full lives beyond the course and sometimes it’s reasonable for them to focus on other things. But I also care about their learning. I build in tutorials and extra office hours leading up to major assignments to make sure they can get the help they need. Those assignments also have a draft stage where I give feedback on their in-progress work. And they can revise assignments to improve their grades. I hope this contributes to a climate where it’s ok to try things and fail.
Tell us more about your educational “setting.” This can include, but not limited to departmental affiliations, community connections, co-instructors, and students. (AKA, where do you work?)
I work as an educational developer in the Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation, MSU’s new teaching center, which launched this fall. My colleagues and I work to support and connect MSU’s educators. Before that, I was part of the Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology. I’m also one of the teaching faculty in Lyman Briggs College, where I teach courses in the History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science to mainly STEM undergrads. I’m also fortunate to be a director of the CTLI Grad Fellowship, alongside my colleague Makena Neal.
What is a challenge you experience in your educator role? Any particular “solutions” or “best practices” you’ve found that help you support student success at the university despite/in the face of this? 
One challenge for me is that I’m too eager to say “yes” to opportunities that improve academic communities. I like to help, and I know the value of academic service work, so I’m glad to be able to contribute my design or communications skills to a project. But if I take on too many commitments, I am less able to be useful to those efforts. Another downside is that I get overwhelmed! By having stronger boundaries around my downtime and waiting 24 hours before taking on any new commitments, I can better protect my time and energy and make more of a positive difference for the things I deliberately take on..
What are practices you utilize that help you feel successful as an educator?
I learned a lot during the pivot to online teaching about building effective and engaging online courses, and many of those things translate to hybrid and in-person courses as well. I try to give students clarity about expectations, assignments, and the cadence of the class. I think I feel most successful when I share practices that work for me and then fellow educators tell me that they tried them in their own courses and that it helped. I write (and co-author) pedagogy articles for my HPS disciplinary newsletter that I hope help people in my discipline improve their teaching or meet the challenge of online learning. My favorite so far is called “You Can Teach Online! Designing effective and engaging online courses.”
What topics or ideas about teaching and learning would you like to see discussed on the iteach.msu.edu platform? Why do you think this conversation is needed at MSU?
I love iteach.msu as a space for educators to connect and share our ideas and teaching practices. I like learning about new tools and teaching tips on the platform. And I’ve had great experiences sharing resources on iteach.msu. I’ve had MSU educators connect with me after they discovered our playlist for the Spartan Studios Playkit, which is a set of resources for interdisciplinary, experiential teaching based on a pilot project of courses. It’s also really useful that #iteachmsu articles can have audiences beyond MSU. For example, when I present the Spartan Studios project at external conferences, I can share links with the audience and the content is accessible.
I’m interested in learning more about ungrading, both because I think ungrading practices give students more ownership into their own learning and metacognitive reflection, and (probably more selfishly) because I want less grading to do.
What are you looking forward to (or excited to be a part of) this semester?
I’m teaching a Science and the Environment course for Lyman Briggs, and one of the major assignments has students researching conservation initiatives. They also vote (as well as decide on a voting process) to make a real donation to one of the initiatives. It can be a conservation charity, awareness campaign, research institute; any organization that is focused on conservation research or practice. In the past this activity really engaged the students because they end up advocating for the groups, they think are the most impactful or need our donation the most. Since it’s “real” in a way that many academic assignments aren’t, they seem to care about how we make the decision. They also learn about the economics of conservation, and last year a few students got really interested in ranked-choice voting processes. I’m looking forward to improving the assignment based on feedback from last year and learning more about how to teach students to build effective presentations, because communicating in a variety of formats is a key learning objective for the course.
 
Don't forget to celebrate individuals you see making a difference in teaching, learning, or student success at MSU with #iteachmsu's Thank an Educator initiative. Submitted educators recieve a message of gratitude from #iteachmsu and are recognized annually with the Provost's #iteachmsu Educator Award. Submissions are also used to select educators to appear in our Educator Stories features!

In the beginning…
Much of our work toward #iteachmsu began through a graduate-student-led effort called Inside Teaching MSU in our Graduate School. Inside Teaching MSU launched to catalyze the expertise of many graduate student teaching assistants and instructors, that could be shared with colleagues across disciplines and aimed to challenge the conventional ideas of who is an educator and where learning takes place. As the adoption of this expanded definition of "educator" that was the foundation of this effort grew, three partners- the MSU Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology, the Graduate School, and the Academic Advancement Network (AAN)- came together to build an educator "commons". The#iteachmsu Commons is a digital space where all MSU educators can share ideas and resources, connect with one another across roles and disciplines, and grow in their practice!
A Hashtag...Throughout social networks, #iteachmsu, has gained institutional traction as not only a statement or a hashtag, but as a public declaration of teaching practice and educator identity. Educators have taken up the rallying cry “I teach MSU” by sharing out reflections, celebrations, and practices online! #iteachmsu even functions as a connection builder, bringing two- now- Champions together!A Platform...
A digital site, iteach.msu.edu, designed for educators by educators at MSU. The site aims to create a single centralized resource on a campus that is often challenged by its decentralized nature. It is also home to the Thank an Educator initiative which aims to elevate and celebrate the high-impact practices and contributions of all educators through a peer-recognition program. For more information on the functions of this space as a platform, check out the Getting Started playlist!A Movement...
The #iteachmsu Commons defines “educators” at Michigan State University in the broadest possible manner. Here we deliberately use the term 'educator' to refer to individuals that support the teaching and learning mission of the university. Educators could include but are not limited to faculty, graduate teaching assistants, undergraduate learning assistants, instructional designers, and academic advisors. If you contribute to MSU’s mission of teaching and learning in any way, you are invited to contribute to and engage with this community (by logging in with your MSU netID).
We believe this shift is an important and deliberate move toward sharing and centering teaching and learning as important across higher education. This moment provides new opportunities for addressing what has always been a valuable but highly complex task for educator development.
