SUMMARY:VIT&L Week Opening Event
DESCRIPTION:Valuing Ireland’s Teaching and Learning (VIT&L) Week will run from 8 to 12 November 2021. Regional events across the sector will continue until 30 November. During this period the higher education community will come together through local and national events to consider how we value teaching and learning and what the future of education will look like for the students of tomorrow. VIT&L Week will be launched at 12:00 on Monday 08 November. \nChair of the National Forum\, Lynn Ramsey will officially open VIT&L Week. The keynote speaker at this launch event is Prof Frank Coton (Senior Vice Principal and Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) at University of Glasgow and international advisor to the Board of the National Forum. Prof Frank Coton will share his thoughts on Why Valuing Teaching and Learning is VITAL. \nThis opening event will also share an overview of VIT&L’s month-long programme by Dr Terry Maguire\, Director of the National Forum. \nMonday’s launch will be followed by the first of our daily scholarship hours when our inaugural Teaching and Learning Research Fellows will share their initial research findings and what they mean for higher education. Each day the scholarship hour will also include our first ever Gasta Marathon featuring 26 lightening talks over the five days\, facilitated by the Gasta Master\, Dr Tom Farrelly. \nOver 70 poster submissions on Teaching and Learning Scholarship\, a series of podcasts and videos will be showcased during the week. \nA centrepiece of VIT&L Week will be the launch on 10 November of findings from a national partnership project\, the Next Steps for Teaching and Learning: Moving Forward Together project\, announced recently by Minister for Further and Higher Education\, Research\, Innovation and Science\, Simon Harris\, T.D. As the higher education sector plans for a potential emergence from the pandemic and begins to look to the future\, this project involves leading sectoral partners working together to better understand the post-2020 teaching and learning landscape and to build an informed vision for the future of teaching and learning in Ireland. \nValuing Ireland’s Teaching & Learning (VIT&L) Week is for everyone. It will provide opportunities to celebrate and value what matters and to take pause and think about the future\, together. \nSee a calendar of all VIT&L events to the 30 November here \nYou can get involved in VIT&L Week by joining us at any stage during the week and also by tuning in and sharing via the #NFVITAL hashtag. \nRegistration \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ie/e/valuing-irelands-teaching-and-learning-vitl-week-opening-event-tickets-203194850267

SUMMARY:VP for Learning and Teaching to open Vital Week in UCC. Dr Catherine Mahony launches the Civic Engagement Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:CIRTL supports staff and students who are engaged in teaching and demonstrates academic leadership in the scholarship of teaching and learning. In UCC that academic leadership includes an ambition for further embedding civic and community engagement in the curriculum. Read more about the benefits\, rationale and policy imperative in the Why Get Engaged section. \nThe toolkit has been devised to support all staff who teach in UCC who wish to integrate civic engagement into their teaching. Staff have requested opportunities to exchange knowledge\, to hear from their peers\, learn what’s worked well elsewhere\, to be inspired. That is why this toolkit is centred around Practice Insights articles with practical examples and tools to support implementation from peers and colleagues in the University\, nationally and internationally. This toolkit can be used to enhance professional practice in community-engaged teaching and learning and uncovers the variety of learning activities and methodologies that are available for use in teaching. \nFocus of event: \n\nLaunch VITAL week\nLaunch Civic Engagement Toolkit\n\nRegistration \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ie/e/vital-week-ucc-opening-and-launch-of-the-civic-engagement-toolkit-tickets-203121781717?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
