Faculty Inservice Sessions

 Watch for these great sessions featuring library staff during faculty inservice!


OER/AER (No cost/Low cost) Textbooks: Are they right for your class?

Facilitators: Kim Ernstmeyer, Vince Mussehl, & Mary Purvis

This interactive session will explore questions relevant to faculty who want a better understanding of OER/AER textbooks. What is considered OER and AER? How can these resources enhance student learning? How do I get started exploring whether OER/AER textbooks fit into my classes? How do I correctly identify my courses as OER/AER when students need packets, equipment, or lab manuals for a course? Join us for a light-hearted session to work through these questions and more.

Trauma Informed Instruction & Care 

Facilitators: Nic Ashman and Kristi Hagen 


Educators and health care workers are becoming increasingly aware of the short and long-term impacts that trauma can have on students, patients and communities. However, educators and care workers can unknowingly perpetuate trauma rather than reduce it.  This session is designed to help participants understand the effects of trauma on those they work with and increase awareness of the levels and types of trauma they may interact with. The session will share about a "trauma-informed lens," ways we can mitigate the impacts of trauma and provide participants with tools that can increase learning and healing.
