2025-2026 Issues

April 2026 (Sway Link)

Active Learning in the Classroom

We are exploring teaching strategies that help learning move beyond content coverage and into meaningful action. Active and applied learning center students as participants, not just observers, by asking them to engage with ideas through practice, reflection, and real-world connections. This month's contributors explore what this means and how it looks in their classrooms.

Accessibility as a mindset, culture, and shared responsibility across higher education.

This issue highlights accessibility as both a practical and philosophical commitment. From everyday instructional decisions to broader institutional shifts prompted by upcoming Title II changes, the contributors in this month's newsletter invite us to think about accessibility as proactive, connective, and deeply human work.

What does future-ready pedagogy mean?

February's Teaching Tomorrow focuses on the idea of future-ready pedagogy and what that means in higher education. Higher education is changing day by day, and the expectations of instructors, staff, and students also seems to be in flux constantly. This issue gives some glimpses into a few different perspectives on campus, as well as off campus. I hope this issue is able to spark some reflection into what future-ready pedagogy means to you, and how it shows up in your life.

2026 Issues

Teaching Tomorrow Back Issues: 2026
January 2026 (Sway Link)	Getting ready for a new semester... This January, I wanted to create an issue that contains resources, links, and ideas to help support the start of a semester as well resources to help support small changes you may be trying to implement. As you explore this issue, I encourage you to think of those small (not big) meaningful changes you may want to make in your course. Making big changes is overwhelming, and once a semester starts, we are in for the ride. My goal with this issue is to provide you with ideas to help support those small changes as opposed to big changes.

2025 Issues

Teaching Tomorrow Back Issues: 2025
Issue	Topics
October 2025 (Sway Link)	Teaching Tomorrow Official Relaunch! As we worked to officially relaunch our monthly teaching publication, we thought, what better month than October? Traditionally, October has always been our "Digital Transformations," and with our new focus on technology, this was the perfect month. This issue focuses on quite a bit, but has an emphasis on AI tools and accessibility as well as additional information about our relaunch.
November 2025 (Sway Link)	Being Mindful in the Midst of Busy Semester The second issue of Teaching Tomorrow takes a closer look at mindfulness in various positions and areas around campus. This month we focused on what mindfulness looks like for students as well as instructors and what it might look like in the classroom. One of my favorite sections is Madi DeFrain's where she has provided specific applicable strategies to use in your classroom.
December 2025 (Sway Link)	December Grab Bag This month, I wanted to create a "grab bag" of sorts. I reached out to various instructors to gather different assignments, activities, and strategies they use in their classroom. The goal is to get a glimpse into what others are doing in their classrooms and possibly take some of the strategies to use or experiment within your own classrooms. Additionally, I hope to feature various strategies and activities in future issues. Take a look at section 7: Teach it Forward if you would like to share something from your class.
