East Meets West: Understanding and Pronouncing Chinese Names Liying Cheng, Faculty of Education; and Janice McAlpine, School of English |
Canadian universities are attracting more and more students and teachers from abroad. Cultural plurality enriches the life of the university, but also challenges each member of the university community to deal with cultural differences – including unfamiliar names. For many Westerners, Chinese names are particularly difficult because all aspects of the names are unfamiliar. Which of the name is the family name? Is this a man’s name or a woman’s? How do you pronounce it? Because Queen’s has recently experienced a sharp increase of students from China, we thought the time was ripe to offer a quick workshop on pronouncing Chinese names. | Monday, February 4, 2013 2:30pm - 3:30pm B176 Mackintosh Corry, Seminar Room |

Preparing a Teaching Dossier Andy Leger, Centre for Teaching and Learning |
More and more, universities require that candidates submit teaching dossiers when they apply for positions. A Teaching Dossier provides a summary of accomplishments, strengths, and directions as a teacher. In this session, participants will be introduced to the concept and structure of a Teaching Dossier. They will reflect on their own Teaching Philosophy and engage in a discussion of the outcomes and sources of evidence that can be used to support their philosophy, document their successes and direct future professional development. |

Universal Design for Instruction: Inclusive Teaching and Learning Michele Chittenden, Adaptive Technology Centre |
Applying the principles of universal design to curriculum planning, instructional methods (lectures, group work, online resources), physical spaces (classrooms, labs), and assessment (exams, essays, presentations) ensures that courses are accessible to most students regardless of learning style, ability or background. Universal Instructional Design (UID) creates a classroom environment that is inclusive and respects diversity. This workshop will provide participants with an overview of UID. Examples that illustrate how to implement the principles of Universal Instructional Design in teaching will be discussed. |
