Undoing the Grade, with Jesse Stommel
Jesse Stommel shares about Undoing the Grade on episode 483 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
For us to be talking about something like unlearning or ungrading, there's an irony in that because we are the people who need to do that work the most and the people for whom that work is probably the hardest.
-Jesse Stommel
The only wrong way to do something is to do it unintentionally, to do it in a way that isn't carefully thinking through what we're doing.

Connections Are Everything, with Isis Artze-Vega and Oscar Miranda Tapia
Isis Artze-Vega and Oscar Miranda Tapia discuss Connections Are Everything on episode 482 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
If it's not working for you and you can't maintain a certain level of wellness, then it's not working. No matter what you're seeing happen in your students, it is not working because it cannot happen at the cost of your wellness.
- Isis Artze-Vega
It's about being present.
- Isis Artze-Vega
The relationship that you have with someone does not have to be this long sustained, always impactful kind of relationship. That one short conversation with a student may be the words or the sentence that they need to hear that day.
-Oscar Miranda Tapia

Teaching Philosophy Outside, with Ryan Johnson
Ryan Johnson shares about teaching philosophy outside on episode 480 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast
Quotes from the episode
What are the dominant sounds on campus? What are the kind of patterns at which people move? What are the movement of the trees versus the light versus the animals versus people?
-Ryan Johnson
The relationship between the teacher and a student is not intelligence to intelligence, but instead will to will.
-Ryan Johnson
A good distraction is one that can help us come back together, that can allow our attention or our stamina to have a release to return.
-Ryan Johnson
I cultivate brave spaces, not safe spaces.
-Ryan Johnson
I started to notice all these things about campus that one does not as they move through, rather than sits in and resonates with, especially the sounds.
-Ryan Johnson

Fantastic interview with Dr. Brookfield, I will definitely try some of his suggestions for facilitating meaningful discussions. I enjoyed the insight on demonstrating discussions. Thanks!
Favourite teaching podcast
I've been listening to this for a couple of years and it remains my all-around favourite teaching podcast. Actually, it's my faviourite teaching resource of any kind. The host, Bonnie Stochowiak, has a calm yet engaging manner; she conveys enthusiasm, asks incisive questions, and keeps the conversation organized and well-paced. the guests are thoughtful and informative. My favourite thing is the many practical tips about how to get/stay organized. As a busy adjunct with another full-time job, this podcast has introduced me to invaluable tools for making my teaching more efficient. I recommend subscribing to the newsletter for a handy list of the many practical tools mentioned in each episode.
An excellent resource
As an Acting Dean, I am always looking for ways to support my faculty's professional development. This podcast is an excellent resource for faculty and I have recommended it to various colleagues.
