I have also explored patterns of book challenges (challenges are registered complaints that have the intent to ban the books) by parents and citizens resistant to the inclusion of LGBTQ+ themes and people within literature in schools and local libraries. I use separate examples for high school and elementary by integrating literacy tasks …

This hands-on workshop will bridge theory with practice, weaving together presentation, discussion, and role play as participants learn practical strategies for harnessing assessments as learning tools.

2020 Celebration Of Scholarship, Creativity, And Engagement, Todd Bruns, Beth Heldebrandt

Programs

The 2020-2021 academic year is truly extraordinary and higher education’s new, hopefully temporary, normal began on rather short notice in Spring 2020. While our environment has changed, we, as a shared community, are pleased that the important work of faculty continues and evolves as faculty broaden and redefine the boundaries of scholarship, creativity, and innovation in accelerating hybrid and remote environments. And, as new forms and strategies for scholarship and creativity emerge, the core principles of faculty life and student learning remain central to the mission of Eastern Illinois University.

For that reason, our faculty, department chairs, college deans, the …
