The Leadership Development group of the 2013-2014 Academy cohort created a website with resources for leadership development at both the department/lab level, the college/university level, and the community/volunteer level. This group also sought to house a graduate leadershipn forum where students could connect virtually about leadership development principles and events. This project is significant because as some of the first Academy cohort members, this group offers a window into the thinking and motivations behind the Academy during its conception. Further, the website offers specific and thoughtful advice on how to identify and navigate leadership resources within your different networks.

The Graduate Employees Union at MSU provides this wiki for teaching assistants to share classroom experiences, best practices, and professional advice.

In the beginning, there was a graduate-student-led effort called Inside Teaching MSU (ITMSU) that originated out of the MSU Graduate School. ITMSU was an effort dedicated to promoting teaching excellence through conversation and sharing practices for graduate teaching assistants. The goal also was to create a platform for individuals to share their experience and best practices across disciplinary and institutional silos. 
ITMSU used three primary social software platforms to build digital community around teaching and learning: microblogs (Twitter), Facebook, and a university hosted blog. Through its user-generated blog, ITMSU also aimed to challenge the conventional ideas of who is an educator and where learning takes place. Any member of the institutional community was encouraged to submit an idea related to teaching and learning for the blog and educators across levels and roles took up this opportunity. This is also where the hashtag “#iteachmsu” was born and continues to this day to be not only a way to digitally tag post and build community, but also serves as a rally cry of sorts. Users who post with the hashtag are stating “I teach MSU”. 
On such a large campus, it can be difficult to fully recognize and leverage the MSU community’s teaching and learning contributions, especially when so much of our institution is decentralized - leaving colleges, departments, and units to manage their own educator development. After seeing the success of the ITMSU effort, other institutional partners joined in collaboration to strategize how an initiative like ITMSU could be launched institutionally to better align educator professional development across roles on campus, create a space to amplify the great work already happening to support student success on campus, and help individuals connect with one another. The result is the #iteachmsu Commons at iteach.msu.edu. 
The #iteachmsu Commons provides an educator-driven space for sharing teaching resources, connecting across educator networks, and growing teaching practice. The site has been in development led by a team of administrators, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students with regular feedback and insights provided by a similarly diverse Advisory Group of staff, students, and faculty. This is congruent with ITMSU’s original aim to challenge traditional conceptions around who teaches. The founding partners of the #iteachmsu Commons, Academic Advancement Network, The Graduate School, and The Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology, believe that a wide educator community (faculty, Teaching Assistants, Undergraduate Learning Assistants, instructional designers, academic advisors, librarians, coaches, et al.) helps learning happen at MSU. 
The site is now live, so if you contribute to the teaching and learning, and thus student success, mission of Michigan State University we hope you consider joining the community at iteach.msu.edu. To do so, visit iteach.msu.edu and click the “Log in” button in the upper right-hand corner. Use your MSU netID to log on with Single Sign-On. Now you have full access to contribute to the Commons! Build your bio. Share updates, questions, and celebrations via posts. Add to articles with your practical insights or scholarly work. Connect with others! Right now, anyone can visit the Commons and consume content, but only members of the MSU community with a netID can log in and contribute at this time.

The Provost’s Office has brought together resources from around the university to support the necessary ongoing professional development of faculty to help transition from remote teaching to the development of online course curriculum. These efforts have resulted in both asynchronous and synchronous options being available to faculty through our SOIREE (Summer Online Instructional Readiness Educational Experience) and ASPIRE (ASynchronous Program for Instructional REadiness) workshops. 
 
These workshops have been created to help you better prepare to teach online. You will learn online pedagogical principles and develop proficiency with a variety of technologies. By the workshop’s conclusion, you will have drafted a course structure and learned strategies for aligning content delivery, learning activities, and assessment for your course goals. In addition, you will have learned more solid online teaching practices. 
 
Please note that the SOIREE and ASPIRE workshops are equivalent; you should not sign up for or complete both. Each workshop will take roughly 20 hours to complete.  
 
 
Professional Development Registration Dates: 
 
The SOIREE (synchronous, facilitated) workshop will take place during the following times this summer. The five-day workshop will have facilitated sessions that occur from 9-10 a.m. and 4-5 p.m. These sessions will be recorded and can be reviewed at a later time. 

July 13-17  
August 17-21  

 
The ASPIRE (asynchronous, self-paced) workshop will open on the following date this summer: 

June 15 

 
To Register for SOIREE: 
 
To register for the SOIREE (synchronous, facilitated) workshop, please complete this Sign-up Form (please link to: https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1AdVlXQcAoHWof3) . We are limiting each workshop to a total of 200 people on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, if you do not see the July workshop date as an option, that means that its maximum enrollment has been met. The registration deadline for each workshop is two weeks prior to its start date.  
 
To Register for ASPIRE: 
 
Registration and self-enrollment for the ASPIRE (asynchronous, self-paced) workshop will open June 15is now open. We will send a reminder email on the day registration opens, with a D2L self-enrollment link. Please follow the link below to enroll:

If you have questions related to any of the workshops, please direct them to Ashley Braman (behanash@msu.edu) or Breana Yaklin (yaklinbr@msu.edu) for additional support. 
 
In addition to the workshops mentioned above, the College of Education, building on its tradition of excellence in online instruction, is offering a free, limited-enrollment, intermediate-level course for faculty during the months of July and August that will lead to earning a college Micro-Credential in Online College Teaching. This four-week course has a total of a 20-hour time commitment (over the four weeks) and can be taken after the completion of SOIREE or ASPIRE. 
 
The College of Education also has a free, self-paced introduction to remote teaching that can be taken as a prerequisite to the Micro-Credential in Online College Teaching. You can find more information about this here: https://edwp.educ.msu.edu/maet/2020/03/30/maetminimooc/.   
 
Registration for the intermediate-level course, which leads to the Micro-Credential in Online College Teaching, will begin within individual colleges; associate deans for undergraduate education (and other associate deans in graduate/professional-only colleges) will receive information about this opportunity and will share with faculty. This course will add to what you will have already learned about online and hybrid approaches looking into next year, with particular attention on: 
 

Designing the student experience and flow of your online course
Designing engaging and accessible online learning experiences
Developing and sustaining community
Online assessment and feedback

 
If you have questions related to the Micro-Credential in Online College Teaching, please reach out to Kaitlin Klemp (klempkai@msu.edu) for additional support.

As a returning fellow, Alex continued the work of his 2017-18 fellows project, the “peer mentoring toolkit”. In addition to consulting with groups on the implementation of the toolkit, Alex worked with one of the 2019 Leadership Academy participants to develop a reference tool for the TGS mentoring working group on methods and modes of evaluating mentoring relationships.View Alex's completed project from 2019-2020
