Presentations

This poster discusses approaches to ensure that adjunct placements leverage the temporary placement to the benefit of both adjunct librarians and institutions. Librarians can leverage short-term employment to develop skills and gain experience in new library environments. Libraries maintain services while seeking longterm solutions and progress on key projects leveraging skill areas supporting adjunct librarians’ professional development. Clear career goals, intentional supervision, and guidance on translating experience to future job applications can ground an adjunct appointment in mutually-beneficial principles.

Readings For Rhetorical Responsibility: Using Contemporary Online Texts To Deepen A Concept, Adrienne Jankens

Language Arts Journal of Michigan

In this essay, I describe how I use contemporary, online texts in my FYW classes to help students develop reflective practice with rhetorical responsibility. Through my demonstration of the concept in passages focused on personal narrative, the texts themselves, and student writing from a 2019-2020 classroom study, I hope to highlight how students may find these texts and the concept of rhetorical responsibility relevant in their writing lives both in and outside of the classroom.

A Cfd Study Of Operation Room Air Conditioning: Air Curtain Performance, Spencer Lee Boer

Language Arts Journal of Michigan

With increasing demands and decreasing amounts of instructional time, teachers are constantly looking for creative ways to integrate, assess, and target instruction to meet the needs of each student. This article takes a look at how one teacher employed the use of a highly engaging process drama to teach and assess multiple subject area content standards. A process drama is remarkably creative, social, and applicable so can be easily adapted to meet the needs of any grade level. The low floor, high ceiling project allows students multiple avenues to demonstrate understanding of skills and concepts.
