Dan Wagner, English Language Institute Director and CUW presents this Lunch n’ Learn on 9/26/18.
Here is his PowerPoint: Powerpoint
Program description: International Students’ first stop before they arrive in your classes may be the English Language Institute (ELI). Dan Wagner will share what students learn there and seek feedback from faculty on how ELI experiences can connect to learning experiences for international students in other courses and programs.
Four meetings, all Mondays, 2:00 – 3:00 pm in R006
October 1, October 15, October 29, November 19
Facilitator: Susan Gallanis
About the book: This book presents up-to-date research on the different types of lecture, on what constitutes effective lecturing, and on the impact of lecturing when done appropriately and well. It fills the void in professional development resources on how to lecture, validating the practice when it’s aligned with the educational mission of creating engaged learning environments.
The authors demonstrate that, rather than lecture and active learning being mutually exclusive or either-or propositions, the effectiveness of the former can be greatly enhanced when combined with active learning techniques through what they define as dynamic lecturing; and provide context about the need to balance these approaches to meet the needs of students as they progress from novice to advanced learners.
This event is for faculty and staff. In order to create a 5-Start Experience for international students, Concordia faculty and staff need to be culturally aware. This live webinar is an opportunity to explore three primary worldviews and cultural dimensions, through which to gain insights into our own cultural biases, learn practical methods to facilitate student achievement, and create a classroom that is inclusive and inviting to all.
Come learn about new and refined support, resources and processes for making academic program change and for proposing new programs (both credit-based and continuing education). Two institutional impact tools have been developed, one for new program proposals and one for program changes. The new program design, development and launch support process will be featured along with how and when to access and use the institutional impact tools. Many institutional tangles involving cross-unit communication will be resolved as we implement these tools. Faculty, including particularly program directors, department chairs and deans are encouraged to attend.
Wednesday September 12, 12:15 – 1:00 pm in the Lakeshore Room
Presented by Andrew Miller, Rachel Pickett, & Steve Gerner
Introduced by Dan McCollum from the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
During the program for faculty and staff, the project team will discuss the findings related to their research that examined the effect of deliberate interventions addressing the needs of at-risk students, as identified by the ACT Engage survey on student performance, engagement, and retention. The project included tracking psychosocial factors measured by the ACT Engage scales, academic performance, co-curricular engagement, and retention among two separate, annual cohorts of at-risk students compared to a control cohort of students, both enrolled in a Freshmen Year Experience (FYE) course. While considerable research has been done to identify non-cognitive predictors of student performance and retention, this quasi-experimental study complements existing advising theory by evaluating the practical application of at-risk student intervention strategies.

This program is for faculty. Thirty- four public, private, parochial, charter, voucher and choice school districts have formed a Consortium to partner with Concordia University Wisconsin to pursue the goal of closing the achievement and equity gaps in Southeast Wisconsin PK-12 schools. The Concordia University Wisconsin Advancement Department has been a major partner for the Closing the Achievement Gap Consortium in gaining community funding support for this major pressing problem for Southeast Wisconsin. The Closing the Achievement Gap Consortium and the Concordia University Wisconsin Advancement Department have secured eight grants in the past two years in the effort to close the achievement and equity gaps in Southeast Wisconsin. The presentation will emphasize how cooperation and collaboration have resulted in community funding support for this project/research.

Facilitated by Christopher Cunningham.
The next generation of medicines will be developed by the next generation of scientists. Computational models are being used currently to aid the drug discovery and development process; using these models to teach young students about applying the scientific method to real world situations has been underexplored. In the summer of 2017, Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy teamed up with the 500 Stars initiative and the Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) to teach a diverse cohort of students about computational models and rational drug design. Students worked in teams to design potential solutions to the ongoing opioid crisis that affects our communities. Here, we discuss our initial findings and identify potential ways to encourage students to enter careers in science and health care.
