2025 Teaching Symposium (in person): Cultivating Student Engagement, Inclusion, and Success
The Office of Teaching and Learning and the UCSB Library invite you to attend the 2025 Teaching and Learning Symposium on Thursday, March 20, and Friday, March 21. This year’s program brings together UCSB instructors, postdocs, staff, and students to share ideas, showcase current research, and explore effective practices that enhance teaching, learning, student success, and inclusion across our campus.
We are thrilled to feature UCSB alum and UC Irvine Teaching Professor Ana Garcia-Vedrenne as the symposium keynote speaker. Her talk, “Specifications, Bundles, and Tokens - Oh My! My Journey into Alternative Grading”, will focus on alternative grading systems designed to offer a learner-centered approach through opportunities for improvement and built-in feedback loops. Dr. Garcia-Vedrenne’s talk will highlight the value of equity-minded grading practices, featuring examples and research drawn from her own large- and small-enrollment courses.
