Enriching Scholarship 2022

“Transparency in Teaching and Learning”

Thank you, presenters and attendees!

The 2022 conference (May 4-5) highlighted the range of instructional tools and approaches that reveal the implicit or unspoken assumptions and expectations in the curriculum. Sessions focused on increasing transparency and accessibility, creating diverse perspectives, developing 21st century skills, and addressing inequities in technology access. Each day featured an afternoon talk by a keynote speaker, as well as sessions led by U-M faculty, staff, and students.

If you registered for the conference, you will have access to the Canvas site for one year. There, you will find recordings of most sessions and other support materials.

If you didn’t register for the conference, you can still join the Canvas site and explore the resources.

A Community Cultural Wealth Approach to Transparency in Teaching and Learning at U-M

Prof. Yosso will overview her community cultural wealth model, which has been received nationally and internationally as a paradigm shift for the ways we have traditionally thought about schooling structures, practices, and discourse. She will offer timely insights to those asking questions about how a community cultural wealth lens can inform our curriculum, our class environment, the relationships we build among our educational communities, and how that knowledge influences the structures and processes of U-M itself.

Creating Equitable Learning Opportunities through Transparent Instruction

The new incoming majority student population in US higher education is increasingly diverse, multigenerational, and nontraditional. Transparent instruction, which includes communication about and examples of relevant knowledge, skills, tasks, and criteria for success, can offer equitable opportunities for all college students to succeed. Participants will 1) review research findings on transparency in teaching and learning; 2) discuss sample assignments before and after a transparency intervention; and 3) identify strategies they can use to support more transparent instruction. A subsequent workshop will engage participants in applying the Transparency Framework to assignments or activities from their own courses or other work at the university.
