On November 6th, all of the graduate school teaching fellows met for the first all fellows meeting on November 6th. Dr. Kirstin Parkin ran a workshop on Equitable and Culturally Responsive Teaching Practices where we discussed ways to make the classroom a more inclusive place. She mentioned how impactful a introductory survey can be in getting to know your students, so I thought I'd share my version here.

Want to gain experience sharing your work with a wider audience? This workshop is designed to help you describe your research project in three minutes using only a single Powerpoint slide. Participants will also gain experience providing helpful feedback to others on their presentation skills. The Translating Your Thesis to the World workshop, facilitated by Lauren Collier-Spruel, is now live! Check it out on MSU MediaSpace here: https://mediaspace.msu.edu/media/Translating+Your+Thesis+to+the+World/1_8ve9tomp

Goals of the overarching Commons efforts:
- To ignite a social movement at MSU that recognizes, values, and celebrates all members of the MSU community who help educate our campus- in and out of the formal classroom.
- Shift the campus culture of teaching and learning to celebrate and promote the innovative practices happening at MSU.
- Exists as a shared resource for educators, built by educators throughout the university.
- Promote collaboration and growth in competency-grounded teaching practice through various spaces, both physical and digital.

As we approach February 13th, advising leadership has shared that students have the option to request a grief absence, allowing them to take necessary time away during the week of February 13th. Please guide students to reach out to their academic advisors for further details. The advising unit leads will then coordinate with the student and their instructors, providing further information regarding the approved grief absence request. Additional details regarding MSU's grief absence policy can be found here: https://reg.msu.edu/roinfo/notices/griefabsence.aspx

Research shows that diversity makes us smarter. Designing an inclusive classroom that allows students to share differing opinions in a brave space where people are treated with dignity can result in good learning outcomes for all. Conflict is a natural part of learning, and differences of opinion expressed in appropriate ways allow everyone to grow. An inclusive classroom allows the instructor to manage conflict in a way that harnesses differences so that they serve as learning opportunities for all.

ASK ME ANYTHING STARTS TODAY WITH Cheryl Caesar - Teaching Multilingual Students
Cheryl lived in Paris, Tuscany and Sligo for 25 years, earned her doctorate in comparative literature at the Sorbonne and taught literature and phonetics. She publishes poetry in the U.S., Germany, India, Bangladesh, Yemen and Zimbabwe, and last year she won third prize in the Singapore Poetry Contest for her poem on global warming. My chapbook Flatman: Poems of Protest in the Trump Era is available from Amazon.

I chose the topic of “Teaching Multilingual Students” because I have experience teaching EFL in Europe and ESL here, to first-year writing students. I am especially interested in using linguistic and cultural diversity as a pedagogical asset in the classroom
