KARL SMITH TO PRESENT WORKSHOPS ON COOPERATIVE LEARNING
Karl A. Smith, a nationally recognized leader in cooperative learning methods, will return to UND to present several workshops for faculty, lecturers, and graduate teaching assistants Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 29-31. Last year, his workshop was well received by participants, but because of limited space, some faculty were unable to attend. This year he will provide an introductory-level workshop for those unable to attend last year, a follow-up for those who attended last year and others experienced with cooperative learning, a separate workshop for GTAs, one specifically for the College of Education and Human Development faculty and students, and one for the Mathematics Department. The workshops are sponsored by the Office of Instructional Development and the Mathematics Department.
Scheduled workshops include:
Thursday, Jan. 29, 7 to 9 p.m.: Workshop for GTAs presenting the basics of cooperative learning through hands-on exercises and group participation. Similar in nature to the faculty workshop on Saturday morning. Open to all graduate teaching assistants.
Friday, Jan. 30, 8:15 to 11:15 a.m .: Workshop for College of Education and Human Development faculty and students.
Friday, Jan. 30, noon to 3 p.m.: Intermediate/advanced workshop (box lunch included) for those who attended Dr. Smith's workshop last year and others with considerable experience. It will include a discussion session to allow https://apps.und.edu/uletterarchive/uletterOld/dec5.htm[7/29/2019 3:32:41 PM] University Letter
participants to share their successes and to help troubleshoot any difficulties.
Friday, Jan. 30, 3:30 to 5 p.m.: Workshop for mathematics faculty and lecturers.
Saturday, Jan. 31, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.: Introductory level, open to all faculty and lecturers. In this workshop the basic elements of cooperative learning will be incorporated in numerous practical exercises to give the participants first-hand experience with the approach. The principal outcome of this workshop will be increased knowledge, skill, and motivation for getting students actively involved in college classes. Geared toward instructors who are new to using cooperative learning or have used it a little but want to learn more about it.
Cooperative learning is instruction that involves students working in teams to accomplish a common goal, under conditions that involve both positive interdependence (all members must cooperate to complete the task) and individual and group accountability (each member is accountable for the complete final outcome).
Dr. Smith is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Associate Director for Education at the Center for Interfacial Engineering, and Co-Coordinator for the Bush Faculty Development Program for Excellence and Diversity in Teaching at the University of Minnesota. He has published numerous articles on the active learning strategies of cooperative learning and structured controversy, knowledge representation and expert systems, and instructional uses of personal computers. He conducts faculty workshops and has written five books on cooperative learning, constructive controversy, and problem solving and modeling.
To register for the workshops or for more information, please contact me.

FORUM TO DISCUSS TENURE, PROMOTION
The University Senate is sponsoring a series of non-procedural forums in which the University community may discuss issues for subsequent action at regular business meetings of the Senate. All members of the academic community are encouraged to participate. The next forum will discuss changes in procedures on tenure and promotion as recommended by the Senate Task Force on Tenure and Promotion. To allow for maximum participation before the holiday break, this forum is set for 4:05 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, in Gamble Hall, Room 7.
The Task Force on Tenure and Promotion recommends implementation of the following changes in the procedures outlined in the Faculty Handbook, Section 5, on promotions, and in Section 8, on tenure.
https://apps.und.edu/uletterarchive/uletterOld/dec5.htm[7/29/2019 3:32:41 PM] University Letter
1. Modification of the section on characteristics of faculty ranks to refer to both male and female faculty members "his or her." 2. Incorporation of references to the variability of tenure plans for university faculty as specified in State Board of Higher Education Policy 605.1 and Policy 605.3 into the tenure and promotion procedures at multiple places of the Handbook. 3. Change in the timing of the mandatory consideration for promotion from Assistant to Associate Professor from "the beginning of the fifth year in rank" to "the beginning of the sixth year in rank." 4. Inclusion of the statement, "a faculty member may, in writing, withdraw a consideration of a promotion at any administrative level of review." 5. Insertion of a clarification that "for persons hired at mid-year, the half year of service shall count as a full year toward promotion." 6. Synchronization of the review processes for promotion and tenure decisions in the same academic year by implementation of parallel, but separate, procedures utilizing the same supporting materials. 7. Establishment for a procedure to extend the probationary period for tenure review in cases of (a) childbirth or adoption, (b) significant elder or dependent care obligations, (c) disability or chronic illness, or (d) circumstances beyond the control of the faculty member that significantly impede progress toward tenure.
Copies of the proposed changes will be available at the forum. -- Albert Fivizzani (Biology), Chair, University Senate.

INSTRUCTIONAL DEVELOPMENTAL LEAVE SUPPLEMENTS AVAILABLE
Faculty are encouraged to plan developmental leaves which include significant instructional development activities. The Office of Instructional Development can support such leave plans by making grants, called Instructional Developmental Leave Supplements, to cover leave-related expenses. Year-long leaves whose exclusive purpose is instructional development will receive the largest grants. The largest grant made for full-time effort on an instructional project for an academic year is $4,000. Faculty planning year-long or one-semester leaves with research or creative activity as the principal purpose, and who include significant instructional development activities in their leave plans, also are eligible to request funds to support these activities. Funds will be used to cover expenses related to the portion of leave projects which are instructional in nature. Funding for activities which fulfill the requirements for an advanced degree will not be considered. No salary money is available.
A proposal must include (1) the instructional development objectives and activities of the leave, (2) the expenses that a supplement would cover, (3) anticipated outcomes of the leave, as related to instruction and learning in the classroom, and (4) an estimate of the proportion of time to be spent on instructional activities. The application for developmental leave and supporting letters should be attached to the supplement proposal. Ten copies of the proposal should be submitted to the office of Instructional Development by Thursday, Dec. 18.
Faculty are encouraged to discuss their leave-related instructional development plans with Dan Rice (Instructional Development) before submitting a final proposal. It is hoped that the Instructional Developmental Leave Supplement Program will foster leaves and significant instructional development projects not thought possible without additional funding. -- Dan Rice, Director of Instructional Development.

UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE HAS ANGEL TREE
Be an angel! Give a book to a needy child. As a neighborhood retailer, we care about our community, which is why we're part of the Book Angel Project. Every angel on our tree represents a disadvantaged child in our town. Each time you buy a book as a book angel, the paper angel becomes the gift card which accompanies your selection.
In place of the angel, a star magically appears, a shining symbol of your generosity (it can be anonymous if you'd prefer). We will wrap and deliver the books in time for the holidays. Nationwide, thousands of children, many of whom have never owned a book before, will receive one, gift wrapped, this year as part of the Book Angel Project. Local businesses and community organizations can participate too -- speak with one of your booksellers for more information. It's the finest thing you can do this holiday season.

CHILDREN'S FLOOD MURALS DISPLAYED A T CIVIC DINNER IN MINNEAPOLIS
The children's flood murals made in the North Dakota Museum of Art summer workshops of 1997 will be on display at the Salvation Army Minneapolis Holiday Civic Dinner Thursday, Dec. 4. Titled "Staying Afloat," this civic dinner is in honor of companies and people who gave to flood relief during the deluge of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks. Mayor Pat Owens will be honored with a special salute of the "Others" award as a good friend to the Salvation Army.
The children's flood murals were made during the Children's Art Workshops this summer at the North Dakota Museum of Art and sponsored by the Grand Forks Park District. "Rising Water," "Evacuation," "Fire," "Return" and "Recovery," one for each week during the five-week program, are the stories told in the murals. They collaboratively express the children's ideas about their flood-ravaged homes, schools and ruined neighborhoods. The murals also convey the children's wonderment and excitement about being on national television, having helicopters fly overhead, greeting the President of the United States, and being equals with grown-ups in the drama of last spring's events.
The murals will be included in the North Dakota Museum of Art's large flood exhibition slated to open the weekend of May 2 and 3, 1998. -- Morgan Owens, North Dakota Museum of Art.

HEALTH TRIP COORDINATOR AND ROSEMALING ARTIST FEATURED ON STUDIO ONE
Deb Kosmatka, who works for Altru Health System in the Planning and Public Affairs office, will appear on the Friday, Dec. 5, edition of "Studio One." Kosmatka will discuss Health Trip, an exercise incentive program created by the Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce and Altru Health System. The goal of Health Trip is to encourage people of all ages to make exercise a regular part of their lives. In its eighth year of existence, Health Trip averages 1,600 registrations, with a completion rate of 75 percent for the program.
Lucille Langheid, a Norwegian folk artist, also will be featured on the Dec. 5 edition of "Studio One." She will demonstrate the art of rosemaling, a traditional Norwegian painting technique that uses scrolling, stroking and floral motifs. The work is commonly done on household objects made of wood, such as cabinets, cupboards, plates, bowls and napkin holders.
Langheid is an active member of the Sons of Norway in Grand Forks. She began rosemaling in 1971 after studying in Norway; she and other area rosemalers founded the Nordland Rosemaling Association. This group brings rosemaling instructors from Norway to teach classes in Grand Forks.
"Studio One" is an award-winning one-hour weekly morning show featuring news, weather, sports and interviews. The program airs live on Channel 3 at 7 a.m. on Fridays and is repeated at noon and 7 p.m. Rebroadcasts can be seen Saturdays at 10 a.m. and noon, as well as Monday through Wednesday at 7 p.m. "Studio One" also airs in Fargo, Bismarck/Mandan, Minot and Minneapolis.

in the program, including participation by the UND Varsity Bards and Allegro Women's Chorus. The program will conclude with the sound of nearly 1,000 voices as festive carols are performed by the choirs, audience and orchestra.
The program offers a rich sampling of Christmas music. Well-known old carols are mixed with seasonal music by composers of our time, including Minnesotan Steven Paulus and English composer and conductor John Rutter. The Chorale will also sing "Hodie Christus Natus Est" by the 16th Century composer Jan Sweelinck and "Magnificat" by the 20th Century Canadian Healy Willan. The Bards and Allegro will join in an encore performance of the African carol "Betelehemu."
The centerpiece of the program is a portion of the "Christmas Oratorio" by Johann Sebastian Bach. This work tells the Christmas story in six parts, each written to be sung on a different day of the Christmas festival. Part III, to be performed by the Master Chorale and orchestra, is a jubilant section which tells of the shepherd's journey to Bethlehem.
The Master Chorale and Varsity Bards are directed by James Rodde and the Allegro Women's Chorus by Kathleen Rodde (both Music). Accompanists are Kathleen Rodde, Anne Koehler, Melissa Steele, organist Jane Lien, and an orchestra of local musicians.
Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for senior citizens and $5 for students, and may be purchased at the door.
