SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Using CRLT’s 5 Element Framework to Support Student Learning and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will explore strategies for supporting student wellbeing in our courses using CRLT’s ‘5 Element Framework’ and other relevant research.  We will think together about how your teaching choices can support student learning and student mental health or wellbeing. And\, engage in critical discussion with session participants about ways to apply relevant research\, appropriate to teaching roles\, to our course design\, including course policies\, assignments\, and communication with students.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing Classroom Activities for Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Active learning can make teaching more engaging\, provide immediate feedback on student learning\, and give students valuable opportunities to practice the skills they need to be successful. Learning experiences designed without a central consideration of accessibility\, however\, may lead to inequitable outcomes for students with disabilities. In this in-person workshop\, participants will: explore one approach (Universal Design for Learning) to promote teaching for accessibility\; practice identifying barriers to participation in order to design activities around accessibility\; and share and create ideas for how to accessibly implement different active learning opportunities. This seminar is for folks already comfortable with designing and implementing in-class activities (active learning) who want to develop a practice of reflecting and improving on these activities to provide more equitable access to students with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Rethinking PDFs: Using EPUB for More Accessible Academic Documents
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, participants will reflect on why accessibility matters in teaching while thinking through the challenges of adopting new technologies. During the session presenters will demonstrate how EPUB can expand access to academic content by offering a more adaptable reading experience than traditional PDFs. Participants will learn why EPUBs are useful\, what accessibility elements must be in place before conversion\, and how to move content from a PDF or an Accessible Word document to an EPUB file. The session will include examples and suggested use cases for teaching\, training\, and campus communications. Note: session activities will involve instruction on a software tool that is currently available only on PCs. After registering\, you will receive further information about how to access this software as well as suggested participation alternatives for Mac user

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Accessibility by Design: Equitable Teaching Practices for Graduate Instructors
DESCRIPTION:GSIs often encounter accessibility as a set of requirements handed down after a course is already underway\, but many of the most meaningful accessibility decisions happen in the day-to-day work that graduate instructors actually control: discussion facilitation\, assignment instructions\, slide design\, communication with students\, and office hours. In this interactive workshop\, participants will explore how to integrate accessibility thinking into these everyday teaching practices. Drawing on universal design for learning principles and real scenarios from GSI teaching contexts\, we will work through cases where accessibility needs arise and consider how small\, proactive choices can prevent barriers before they form. Participants will leave with concrete strategies for making their teaching more equitable\, not as a compliance checklist\, but as a core part of effective instruction.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Accessibility: Best Practices and workflows for instructors
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for math to be accessible? How do I make math content that meets accessibility standards? This workshop session covers the key takeaways that instructors need to know. Participants will learn about the impact of accessibility in math and STEM courses\, the workflows to create accessible math content\, and how to get more information and support in the future. This session will highlight newly updated guidance available at U-M\, so instructors know where to find the latest information about math accessibility. Experts will support participants as they try out workflows\, set up their tools\, and ask questions relevant to their teaching contexts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cultivating Academic Belonging to Promote Student Mental Health and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Data from a range of sources indicates that high numbers of college students are experiencing mental health challenges. In this session\, instructors will view a video case study** telling the story of an U-M alumn that invites them to consider how a lack of academic belonging affects student mental health and well-being. Participants then explore how structural and interpersonal issues exacerbate mental health challenges for students\, and discuss role-appropriate approaches faculty can take to cultivate academic belonging and proactively promote their students’ mental health and well-being.\n**The video case study in the session contains strong language\, challenges related to mental and well-being\, and references to racism and Indigenous genocide and erasure.
