Employing Graduate Students at Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs)
We will engage with colleagues about how their centers envision and structure opportunities for graduate student staff in meaningful and equitable ways (e.g., responsibilities, recruitment and selection practices, training and supervision methods). We will share an overview of conversations we have already had, and invite participants to share successes and challenges with graduate student employment and brainstorm ideas for foci and questions to investigate in this ongoing work. This preliminary conversation will help us identify and recruit colleagues with whom to pursue deeper conversations and further strengthen POD connections between those of us involved in graduate student professional development.

Neighborhood Networking: Reimagining Regional Educational Development Post-COVID
Are we good neighbors to educational developers in our region, area, state, or province? Have we sought to build bridges to local peers and colleagues during these challenging times? How might we reimagine and build sustainable regional networks to support change, growth, and equity in the moving landscape of higher education? This BoF session aims to engage participants in questions like these, asking those with any level of experience with regional networks, or no experience at all, to discuss and question possible new roles for these smaller networks. Come and share your questions, concerns, ideas, and critiques with like-minded colleagues.

Using Analytical Data to Improve Undergraduate Student Success
Institutional implementation of Learning Analytics (LA) calls for a unique intersection of skills and approaches and thoughtful management of cultural change. During this session participants will discuss how LA can play an active and collaborative role in supporting CTLs and educational developers. Furthermore, participants will have a chance to share with each other what is happening on their campuses, and identify opportunities to foster collaborations with programs that might not be considered typical partnerships for their teaching centers. Participants will also consider ways to provide LA data and support to teachers, academic support units, and program directors at their institutions.

Calling All Educational Development Coaches
POD includes many members who have been formally trained as coaches by programs accredited by organizations such as the International Federation of Coaches or SHERPA Coaching. This session seeks to bring these formally trained coaches together to discuss: 1) how we are incorporating coaching into educational development programs, 2) challenges we face and have overcome in this work, and 3) how we might do a better job increasing the POD Network’s awareness and integration of the large body of literature on coaching into our educational development work. We will also discuss interest in forming a POD Special Interest Group.

Re:Connect and Reflect: Using the ACE/POD Matrix
In this Birds of a Feather Session, faculty developers and center directors discuss ways to use the ACE/POD Faculty Development Center Matrix (Brown, E., Haras, C., Hurney, C., Iuzzini, J., MacGruder, E.D., Sorcinelli, M., Taylor, S., and Wright, M., 2018) as a tool to reflect on our work. Special attention will be paid to four dimensions: Scope, Audience, Content, and Reach with extending Reach as the goal. How does your center select workshops and seminars given the 1) needs of your faculty and 2) expertise of your staff? Similarly, how do you extend the reach of your center in authentic ways?

Rethinking Student Assessment
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many instructors to rethink how they assess student learning. Many are considering “alternative” grading methods such as specifications grading, contract grading, and ungrading. Others are grappling with novel challenges around online proctoring services. The decision to change one’s assessment practices is a challenging one, and is bound up with larger questions about the function of grades in the classroom and university. Participants in this session will discuss practices around assessment in the classroom and strategies for engaging with instructors who want to rethink their use of grades.

Game-Based Learning
Whether you have been implementing Game-Based Learning since the 20th century, or new to the pedagogy and just curious, join us for a playful discussion. Let's talk about what games do for learning! Let's share facilitation techniques, design methods, debrief steps, and big ideas. How can we ensure that learning games serve to promote collaboration, equity, and evidence (our POD values and priorities), rather than perpetuate barriers and isolation? If you've found that games have helped you build community in your learning environments and CTLs, we hope to hear from you. Board-gaming opportunities for the in-person conference will be shared.

Making Space to Reimagine Ourselves: The Potentials of Educator ePortfolios
This Birds of a Feather proposal discusses ePortfolios, one way for educators to articulate our experiences within the academy and reconnect with our professional values and identity. ePortfolios are a popular high-impact practice that prompt creators to collect artifacts related to their experiences, reflect on those artifacts, and integrate them with their stories as learners and professionals. At the end of this session, we will invite participants to join an ongoing community of practice hosted by AAEEBL where they can develop professional ePortfolios together.

What’s Next in Remote Faculty Development: Faculty & Developers Converse
Building upon the previously successful BoF session on this topic, this group will discuss opportunities, strategies, and needs related to designing, enhancing, and optimizing remote faculty development. We’ll share insights gained as well as experiences incurred since that session. Given that many faculty will continue to work remotely/hybrid as a ‘new normal,’ this topic remains important if we are to meet our colleagues where they are. Our conversations will draw on the perspectives of diverse participants to address relationship building and peer-to-peer professional development in the remote environment, and the opportunities & challenges of fully remote faculty development positions.

Navigating the Paradoxes of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Work
The past two years have transformed us as a society and as individuals, laying bare economic inequality, barriers to accessibility and inclusion, and the persistence of racism. We all know about the emotional labor involved in facilitating others’ learning in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, and we are now working under heightened pressure to do more with less due to increased demand and under resourcing. This session is for DEIJ facilitators who, in spite of setbacks, demoralization, and exhaustion, are still trying to strike a balance between grace and accountability, bravery and compassion, and vulnerability and boundaries.

Re:Turn-to-Office: Re:Positioning and Re:Imagining New Educational Developers
After two-plus years of the global pandemic, returning to campus life and community can be exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between. For many new educational developers hired during the pandemic, this may be their first time working on campus after the 2020 lockdown. In this session, we invite new educational developers to discuss how we can Re:Position and Re:Imagine our roles and responsibilities as we Re:Turn-to-office. Participants are invited to share strategies for restarting momentum in new workspaces, connecting and collaborating with new/returning colleagues, and reconceptualizing the impact of ED work as we move forward together.
