What does “good teaching” mean, and what does it look like? Perhaps you have grappled with this question, either as an educator seeking to improve your own teaching practice or as a colleague asked to assess the teaching of others. This book club is for you!

Join us to explore an evidence-based guide to effective teaching and learning! In this book club we will examine teaching effectiveness through the lens of the CTB framework of high-level behaviors that can be adopted and adapted to individual instructor and disciplinary context. More practically, it relies on evidence that can be observed by peers, leans on student feedback, and one’s own reflective narrative of teaching effectiveness. Discover equitable and inclusive strategies, participate in productive conversations centered around teaching and learning, and access a toolkit of resources to apply from day one.
The book offers a holistic method of documenting and assessing teaching effectiveness by including a variety of evidence and perspectives to both develop teaching skills and demonstrate achievements in promoting student learning. Each session is framed around the questions, “What do we know,” “What do we do,”, and What do we show?” and will focus on:
-Identifying behaviors of good teaching
-Reflecting upon the teaching behaviors already in practice
-Implementing research-based, effective teaching behaviors across each of the six CTB categories
-Documenting teaching behaviors
-Conducting and/or reflect on peer observation
-Collecting and/or reflect on midterm feedback
-Using a core value statement to purposefully select and frame evidence of effectiveness in a coherent teaching narrative

Location: Hartford Times Building (HTB) Room 209
Time: 12-1pm
Dates:
February 5 – Kickoff to meet the facilitators and pick up the book
February 12 – Align components of learning experiences to defined outcomes
February 19 – Midterm Student Feedback using GIFT

Get ready to kickoff Graduate Student Appreciation Week at the Hartford Campus! 

As movements to dismantle human rights protections, weaken democratic institutions, and undermine multilateral cooperation gain momentum, we must ask ourselves: What does the future hold for these foundational values? With a particular focus on the Latin American perspective, this discussion will explore the evolving threats to democracy and how to navigate such turbulence in an increasingly polarized political environment. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to engage with and learn from a truly esteemed expert on the future of democracy and global cooperation! This event will be co-sponsored by CAIL, HRLA, LLSA, EELS, and the UConn Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute (HRI).

This event is partially or fully paid for by the student body of UConn Law, under the direction of the Student Bar Association. All law students are invited and encouraged to participate. If you require reasonable accommodations for a disability, please contact the Law School at 860-570-5130 or via email at law.access@uconn.edu.

AI advancements have radically changed the scope and abilities of facial recognition technologies, which are now being used all over the world by law enforcement ranging from local police forces to national intelligence agencies.

By bringing together experts in the field, our goal is to foster thoughtful discussion about the ethical, social, and legal implications of AI-powered facial recognition technology in law enforcement, with particular focus on technologies such as ClearviewAI.

Join us to find out who owns your face and what happens when these technologies get it wrong.

Second Wednesdays 10am & Fourth Thursdays 2pm

This recurring opportunity for discussion provides space to share what we’re thinking about and what is impacting our campus community.

Come join us back together this spring!

Hispanic Serving Institution Lunch

• What does it mean to be an HSI?
• As an Emerging-HSI, how can UConn Hartford best serve its Hispanic students and community?

“Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are defined in Title V of the Higher Education Act as not-for-profit institutions of higher learning with a full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduate student enrollment that is at least 25 percent Hispanic.”

During community conversations held in the spring, we heard from students, staff, and faculty that there is a need to continue to gather and learn together. In response, we have developed this new series that brings our collective experience and knowledge to bear on issues concerning the histories and roles of the university and society.

Centering students and the residents of Hartford, the UConn Hartford Dean’s Series on the University and Society is a series of workshops and presentations where the community meets to examine the present and imagine possible futures of the university. In the pilot semester, the Series coordinated three events focused on activism, the student vote and the 2024 election, and post-election actions.

After popular demand following the Series launch with three workshops in Fall ’24, we added two more to Spring ’25 - this being the 5th and final session for AY ’24-’25.

Administered and funded by the UConn Hartford Dean’s Office, the Series is also connected to ongoing community conversations (2x/month) to allow sustained, critical reflection, refinement, and deeper inclusion.

Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly for lunch.

Program begins at 12:10 p.m. with lunch available beginning at 11:45 a.m.

This is an Honors Event. See tags below for categories. #UHLevent11030

This creative workshop invites students, faculty, staff, and community members to reflect on the small but powerful ways access is communicated—or not—through syllabi, forms, websites, and classroom interactions.

Come share your stories, experiences, and strategies for ‘hacking’ access, and help us build a community-driven zine that highlights what inclusive teaching can look like. Art supplies and snacks will be provided, and no experience is necessary!
