For our second annual Day of Teaching and Learning, CLA’s Offices for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Undergraduate Education are thrilled to invite you to a highly-interactive workshop facilitated by Dr. Marsha Lovett, Vice Provost for Teaching & Learning Innovation, Carnegie Mellon University.
CLA includes a wide range of disciplines and programs and we share and serve an incredible, diverse student body. The Day of Teaching and Learning will engage us in a collective conversation around supporting our students’ success, promoting equity in our teaching and practice, using high impact practices to meaningful support accessibility and building an energized teaching community across our programs and with respect to our shared core competencies.

Keynote Speaker & Workshop Facilitator
Marsha C. Lovett is Vice Provost for Teaching & Learning Innovation at Carnegie Mellon University. In addition, she is Teaching Professor of Psychology and former director of the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation. Lovett leads a team of teaching consultants, learning engineers, designers, data scientists, and technologists to help instructors create meaningful and demonstrably effective educational experiences – both in-person and online. In her research, Lovett has published over 50 articles on learning and instruction, conducted in a variety of classroom contexts. Her passion for combining teaching and research is exemplified in the book How Learning Works, which has been translated into multiple languages (Chinese, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Arabic) and is now in its second edition with the new subtitle 8 Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching. Lovett has also created several innovative, educational technologies to promote student learning and metacognition, including StatTutor and the Learning Dashboard, and she has developed and/or evaluated online courses in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. A theme running throughout Lovett’s work is leveraging research-based design and data-informed iteration to enhance teaching practices and student outcomes.
About the Event
The goal of the CLA-wide Day of Teaching and Learning is for those of us who teach undergraduate students to come together as a community of teachers and pedagogues to develop and deepen our knowledge in conversation with each other and two internationally-recognized pedagogical leaders. Together, we will enact our shared commitment to design learning experiences (from curriculum and assignments, to interactions, environment, and assessment) that use high impact practices to support equity and inclusion in our undergraduate education.
This event is open to everyone in CLA who teaches undergraduate students and has been coordinated as part of CLA's Professional Development day. Whether you are a graduate student who teaches, a professional faculty member, or a tenure/tenure-track faculty member, we welcome you to register.
Agenda
9:00-11:00
Participants will explore how to apply results from learning research to their own teaching contexts. Lovett will focus on three areas that have significant impact on student learning: individuals’ identities, their prior knowledge, and practice and feedback. Participants will inspect and interpret data from specific studies and then suggest (or select) strategies that leverage these results while meeting the particular needs of their discipline, students, and class format. Potential roadblocks to implementing the strategies will be acknowledged and collaboratively addressed. The overarching goal of the workshop is that participants will come away with research-informed ideas for instruction and assessment that they can enact in their upcoming courses..
