Open to both new and experienced scholars of teaching and learning\, this program offers a structured space for faculty to develop\, draft\, and refine Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) projects—whether preparing an IRB for the first time or submitting a well-developed manuscript. \n \nThrough weekly sessions alternating between focused writing labs and collaborative learning opportunities on relevant topics\, participants will benefit from peer accountability partners\, guided reflection\, and dedicated writing time to support focused progress. As a group we will also plan for a capstone session after the semester for closure and final drafting. Whether new or experienced in SoTL\, this circle offers the structure\, community\, and momentum needed to move your project forward. \n\n\nWeekly on Fridays from 12:00pm – 1:00pm | Fernald Hall\, Room 102\n\nLEARN MORE & REGISTER HERE URL:/citl/event/cop-the-sotl-writing-circle-in-person/2026-04-03/ LOCATION:102 Fernald Hall\, 102 Fernald Hall\, Orono\, 04469 CATEGORIES:CITL Workshops,Communities of Practice,Faculty Development,Grad Development,New Faculty,Teaching ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/citl/wp-content/uploads/sites/266/2025/07/Writing.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260403T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260403T160000 DTSTAMP:20260517T204903 CREATED:20260106T211921Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T133651Z UID:10001673-1775228400-1775232000@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Wicked Problems in Teaching: Student preparedness (In-person) DESCRIPTION:Wicked Problems in Teaching: A Faculty Conversation Series\nComplex challenges. Practical strategies. Shared inquiry. \nSome teaching challenges are just plain wicked — they have no single cause\, no universal solution\, and they show up over and over in our classes. Think: student focus\, cell phones\, uneven preparedness\, pedagogical burnout\, and everything in between.\nThis series creates an honest\, grounded space for faculty to explore these wicked problems together. \nTo learn more about this 5-part series\, CLICK HERE! \nSESSION FOUR: Student preparedness\nWhat do we mean when we say students are “unprepared”? Who’s responsible for closing this gap? In this session\, we’ll unpack how preparedness is shaped by prior learning\, systems\, and course design\, and share ways faculty are navigating varied levels of student preparedness. Together we’ll explore strategies that build skills in context and explore research questions about what helps students become more ready to learn. \n\nFriday\, April 3rd | 3:00pm-4:00pm | Fernald Hall\, Room 102 \nREGISTER HERE URL:/citl/event/wicked-problems-in-teaching-student-preparedness/ LOCATION:102 Fernald Hall\, 102 Fernald Hall\, Orono\, 04469 CATEGORIES:CITL Workshops,Communities of Practice,Equity and Inclusion,Faculty Development,Grad Development,New Faculty,Teaching ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/citl/wp-content/uploads/sites/266/2025/12/Wicked-Problems-in-Teaching.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
