From the Director: Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! More than a Hockey Chant…<\/strong><\/p>\n

In our previous newsletters, we introduced the HITS framework (Hub<\/a>–Incubator<\/a>–Temple<\/a>-Sieve) for enhancing the effectiveness of Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs). In this final block of the year, we move to the final letter in the framework: Sieve. <\/p>\n

The sieve concept in the HITS framework represents a strategy where CTLs act as filters, discerning and disseminating evidence-based teaching practices. This approach emphasizes the importance of vetting educational research to inform and improve teaching methodologies across the institution.<\/p>\n

At the Crown Center for Teaching (CCT), we are committed to elevating educational practices by serving as a conduit for evidence-based teaching strategies. Through initiatives and programs like our DocuGuides<\/a>, Instructional Coaching<\/a>, and Critical AI Literacy reading list<\/a>, we strive to provide faculty with tools and insights to continue to innovate in the classroom. We aim to foster a dynamic learning environment where educators and students thrive by continuously filtering and sharing the latest educational research. <\/p>\n

What resources are you looking for, and how can we help?<\/p>\n

The CCT will plan our programming for the AY25-26 throughout Block 8 and summer. Is there a topic or set of resources you would like to see developed? Would you like to organize a Crown workshop or lunch gathering? Please let us know!<\/a><\/p>\n

We hope you’ll explore the many opportunities available throughout this newsletter. And we send best wishes for the final weeks of this academic year!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Wrapping up a year of cross-campus conversations on Generative AI (GenAI) at CC, this Crown Educational Development Day addresses the present moment while inviting future exploration. Together, we will explore foundational concepts, ethical considerations, and strategies for navigating GenAI within the context of our liberal arts, antiracism, and sustainability values. The morning session will focus on where we are now, while the afternoon will follow the World Caf\u00e9 Method<\/a> to foster collaborative discussions on various topics as we look to the future.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Coffee service, snacks, and lunch will be provided. <\/p>\n
