Cultivating Student Engagement with Inclusive Teaching practices in the age of AI
A key goal of the UW Collaborative Language Program (CLP) has been to support language educators in creating proficiency-focused communicative classes supported by instructional technologies. This year’s retreat and workshop focuses on engaging all students with inclusive teaching practices and ways that AI can aid all students as they move along their proficiency path.
Instructors from all Universities of Wisconsin are invited to a full-day workshop in Madison, May 23, 2024, to jump start content building for the 2024-25 academic year. Participants learn how today’s technologies can be used to promote inclusivity, differentiation, and personalization. Together we will explore how AI can aid us and our learners. Furthermore, we will foster a cross-campus community of language educators to continue to support each other beyond the confines of the workshop.
CLP instructors please join us for both days, May 22-23, 2024, for our annual CLP retreat-workshop.
