For grad students and postdocs in any stage of your academic career, understanding your own perceptions of leadership can impact how you teach, how you work within departments, how you mentor, and more. In this workshop, we will explore implicit leadership theories (ILT), the cognitive structures that people use to evaluate leadership characteristics and behaviors in others. Understanding your own ILTs can help you unpack your own experiences around leadership, bring clarity to the formal and informal ways others may look to you as a leader, and shape how your interact with others: your students, your peers, your PIs, and more.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
*Recognize how others (your mentees, your undergrad students) may view you as leaders and authority figures
*Explore personal ILTs to clarify your beliefs about leadership and how those beliefs impact how you might act in your various roles (teacher, TA, mentor)
*Create your own personal leadership philosophy to articulate your own expectations for yourself as a leader

This event is hosted by the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) and is designed for graduate students and faculty mentors. Register for this workshop by logging in with your CIRTL account. If you do not have a CIRTL account, you can create one with your UF credentials.

The Center for Instructional Technology & Training (CITT) will be offering its popular Course Mapping Camp online with three separate offerings in 2021 (April 22-23, August 12-13, or December 9-10). This hands-on, two-day workshop is designed to help instructors build a pedagogically sound blueprint for any course. 

Led by experienced instructional designers, Course Mapping Camp begins with student learning outcomes, moving from course goals to the development of specific and measurable learning objectives. Next, instructors design student learning experiences and identify assessments, learning materials, and activities that support defined learning outcomes. Throughout the course design process, camp instructors will provide guidance and feedback to ensure alignment between goals, objectives, and assessments and discuss tailored approaches to scaffold student learning. 

Visit our Course Mapping Camp information page for more details and to register for this two-day workshop via myTraining. Please note that this workshop will be held online via Zoom (meetings at 9:00-10:30 and 2:00-3:00 each day).
