Advocating for Fairness and Partnering with the Ombudsperson's Office for Student Success
Topic Area: Student Success
Presented by: Ryan Smith, Shannon Burton
Abstract:
Where do students turn when they are not sure how to handle a conflict they are experiencing in a course, when they feel caught within the university's bureaucracy, or when they are unsure how to navigate a university policy? Who can faculty or staff members contact when they want to discuss a student related issue in a confidential space? Students who do not feel as though they are being heard or that the institution is not taking their concerns seriously may not ultimately be successful. Student frustrations may surface in academic progress, or they may simply leave the university. The Office of the University Ombudsperson is a confidential, neutral, independent, and informal resource for students and for other university community members to discuss student related concerns. In this presentation, we will discuss the role of the Ombudsperson's office in fostering student success, and how we serve as a partner to other offices and individuals on campus to ensure that students are being heard and that they feel as though their concerns are being taken seriously. We will consider some hypothetical examples for when visitors may find their way to our office, and then discuss how we would assist them in resolving or navigating their issues.

What does the Teaching Toolkit Tailgate look like in 2020?
Teaching Toolkit Tailgate (TTT) is a "resource fair" aimed at connecting educators across campus with practice-oriented tools, activities, and resources. In the past, TTT has been an in-person event with rooms dedicated to particular themes and individuals stationed at tables with printed "cards". Given public health guidance related to Covid19 and group gatherings, we're shifting to some online opportunities instead!
For starters, all TTT resource cards are being uploaded into this group. We've asked the original creators of the content to upload their cards, but if they didn't have the capacity to do so, their card was uploaded with attributions given to each author. You will see that some authors have chosen to upload their actual card file, so you can download, and print double-sided, while others have copied their content into #iteachmsu's blog-like article format. Both are getting you connected with tools and resources and that is what we care about. Additionally, articles will be organized into playlists in the hopes that we can still connect you with themed information (in lieu of visiting a specific room, you can click a playlist for themed tools).
Opportunities to engage:
We will host a #iteachmsu Ed Chat on twitter with practice-oriented prompts on August 20th from 12-1pm. For more information on what an Ed CHat is and a glimpse at the history of #iteachmsu Ed Chat's, you can check out this blog from the Hub. On 8/20, all prompts will be shared out from the Hub's Twitter handle (@MSUHUB) using #iteachmsu.
Additionally, we're arranging "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) with hosts who have contributed to the broad TTT categories. Each host will be checking in here (the #iteachmsu TTT group) for questions about their topic or area of expertise. The line up of AMA hosts is still evolving, so check back in on this article for updates.
If you see a host is willing to answer questions and share their ideas/experience around a topic of interest, log into iteach.msu.edu on their day and share your questions with them via posts in the TTT group. They'll respond with comments and you can engage in further conversation.
If you are a user who has had experience with a question that has been asked, we encourage you to also comment. The AMAs are intended to connect you with other educators at MSU and create opportunities to engage in deeper conversation. *Luckily, this is one the exact intentions of the #iteachmsu Commons!
There is no registration required to participate in either of these TTT "events", please log in and engage as often as you can!

Aug. 24th: Cheryl Caesar - Teaching Multilingual Students
Aug. 25th: Megan Kudzia - Digital Pedagogy/Research in Current Remote Moment

10 Tips for Building a Culture of Civility in the Classroom
(If you model civility, your students will too.)
Generate an atmosphere of trust.
Keep appointments and office hours.
Demonstrate enthusiasm for the course and the subject.
Review course expectations through the syllabus.
Consider asking students to establish rules of behavior.
Be responsive to student questions.
Provide quality feedback, consider grading rubrics.
Model inclusive language that acknowledges student differences.
Decrease anonymity by learning students’ names.
Encourage active learning.
Why civility?
Promoting civility in the classroom environment promotes a safe environment that is conducive to learning. An environment that is conducive to learning is one where students are able to focus on what is being taught – in other words to learn.
KNOW…
The Code of Teaching Responsibility
“Satisfaction of teaching responsibilities by instructional staff members (herein referred to as instructors) is essential to the successful functioning of a university. This University conceives these responsibilities to be so important that performance by instructors in meeting the provisions of this Code shall be taken into consideration in determining salary increases, tenure, and promotion.”
For the full policy, please visit:

If you have questions,

I will practice honesty in my work, foster honesty in my peers, and take pride in knowing that honor in ownership is worth more than grades. I will carry these values beyond my time as a student at Michigan State University, continuing the endeavor to build personal integrity in all that I do.”
