2012 Associate Instructor Workshop on Classroom Climate
Tuesday, August 14, 4:30-6:30 p.m., Frangipani, IMU
Most first-time associate instructors (AIs) have not taught at a large research university before, and are often challenged by the diverse backgrounds and learning styles of students at Indiana University Bloomington. By a 1990 resolution, the Bloomington Faculty Council has mandated programs for all new associate instructors concerning the "standards of conduct" set out in the Academic Handbook — including those behaviors related to cultural diversity and racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination. Since 1991, the Classroom Climate workshop has helped equip first-time AIs from all schools and departments with strategies for maintaining a welcoming and rewarding classroom atmosphere for all students. For many departments, the campus-wide session has become an important part of the acculturation of new instructors. Even for the departments who have developed their own programs, the Classroom Climate workshop is a rare opportunity for graduate instructors to interact with their peers from across disciplines, and participants report that it is a positive professional development experience. The events on August 14 and 16 are the same, so AIs should attend only one of the two offerings.
