In conjunction with One Grand Read, we are hosting a beginner birder's outing to get you outside to watch birds. This will be a stationary birding event (no walking). We will teach you how to use binoculars to spot birds, and how to identify birds once you've found one. Everyone is welcome! Meet up at the picnic tables by Beal Gardens along the sidewalk by the river to look for and identify birds together!

This workshop introduces the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework as a tool for designing clear, equity-minded assignments. Participants will explore how transparency supports student success, reduce confusion and grading time, and learn how to structure assignments using the Transparent Assignment Design (TAD) model. The session includes strategies to improve student motivation, performance, and clarity around expectations.

Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:


understand the history of the TILT and it’s related research findings
describe how the TAD framework relates to equitable learning
define transparent assignment design and its key elements (purpose, task, criteria)
apply TAD best practices
identify resources for implementing the TAD framework.


 

This workshop introduces the concept of alignment as a foundation for effective course and assessment design. Participants will learn how to write clear, measurable learning objectives, identify course materials and assessments that align with those objectives, and evaluate the overall coherence of course elements. The session emphasizes backward design as a practical approach to creating intentional, goal-driven learning experiences.

Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:


define the concept of alignment as it pertains to curriculum design and development
write appropriately stated learning objectives using best practices (e.g., learning taxonomy)
suggest course materials and assessments that are aligned with learning objectives
evaluate various parts of a course for alignment.

Kick off Spartan football season with a talk and book signing by Dr. David Kaufman, author of We Need You in the Locker Room, which provides a fascinating, unique, and immensely readable perspective on a game we only think we know.  A page-turner about a championship season, this book is also a smart, sensitive argument for how football can be preserved.



Dr. Kaufman served as the on-field embedded neurologist for the Michigan State University football team for 13 years. Dr. Kaufman currently serves as the Assistant Vice President of Clinical Affairs, he is a tenured Professor and Founding Chair of the Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology at MSU.



"Kaufman's perspective as a neurologist assigned to the Michigan State Spartans football team makes him an intimate witness to both the drama, teamwork, and courage of young athletes-and the toll this violent game exacts on their bodies.” Samuel G. Freedman



Copies of Dr. Kaufman’s book will be available for purchase and signing, with all proceeds going directly to the following two charitable funds:

· The Father John (Jake) Foglio Endowed Chair of Spirituality in the MSU College of Arts & Letters

· The George Webster Memorial Scholarship in MSU Athletics
