The Annual Faculty Conference is hosted by the\u00a0<\/span>Center for<\/a> the<\/a> Advancement of Teaching<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and co-sponsored by\u00a0<\/span>Temple Libraries<\/strong><\/a>, Office of Digital Education<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Information Technology Services<\/a><\/strong> and the<\/span> General Education Program<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>

Our theme this year is\u00a0Achieving Rigor Without the Mortis: Keeping High Standards While Rejuvenating Our Students, Ourselves, and Our Communities.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong><\/p>

The pandemic gave us a unique window into the lives of our students\u2014the unprecedented challenges they faced, as well as the assets they brought to the learning environment. For some of us, seeing the \u201cwhole\u201d student brought home the idea that the playing field is inequitable for student learning, and triggered a desire for increased flexibility and compassion. We re-examined our course goals, policies, structures, assessments, and learning activities to see where we could be more supportive. For others, the need to maintain structure and expectations was crucial in those unsettling times. The feeling was that not doing so would be an assault on the rigor of our courses. These two different philosophical and practical approaches became so heated that the term \u201crigor wars\u201d was\u00a0<\/span>coined<\/a>\u00a0by Jamiella Brooks.<\/span><\/p>

This year\u2019s conference will give you the opportunity to take a deep dive into the notion of rigor and its relationship to not only student learning, but to the well-being of our students, ourselves, and our communities. We invite you to reflect on these questions in advance of the conference: What is your definition of rigor, and how does that play out in your course goals, assessments, and learning activities? What effect does your definition and practice of rigor have on student motivation, on your attitudes about your students, and on your own well-being? Can our courses be rigorous while at the same time meet the needs of as many learners as possible? In other words, can we have rigor without the mortis?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>
