    Joyful Connections Through Intentional Teaching Practices, with Teresa Thompson

    Teresa Thompson discusses joyful connections through intentional teaching practices on episode 539 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I've had students share with me in the past that they were considering dropping the class, and then they got that welcome email, and they thought, okay, this time, it's going to be different. -Teresa Thompson My syllabus was all Barbie themed. In the semester before that, it was Pokemon themed. Semester before that was Stranger Things themed. -Teresa Thompson I don't want their first impression of me to be me quickly cleaning the board or freaking out because I can't find a whiteboard marker that works. I want them to see me calm and ready and happy to greet them as they walk in. -Teresa Thompson We have to recognize that our students have a lot going on. Sometimes, even despite their best intention, they may not be able to be a 100% attentive in our classroom. -Teresa Thompson Resources The Importance of a Good Bedside Manner for Doctors Teachers, Part 1, by Teresa Thompson The Importance of a Good Bedside Manner for Doctors Teachers, Part 2, by Teresa Thompson Syllabus: Financial Accounting (Where Every Barbie Counts!)

    Interactive Experiences: Shaping the Future of Teaching, with Andrew Cross and Alyshahn Kara-Virani

    Andrew Cross and Alyshahn Kara-Virani share about creating interactive experiences and shaping the future of teaching on episode 535 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode A lot of play science comes down to being a safe space to learn from each other, to see how people respond to what you put out there in the world without it being this critical life or death situation. -Andrew Cross People disproportionately remember experiences based on both the peaks and the valleys, and then also the ending experience. -Andrew Cross Encourage students to freely explore the content on their own. Sometimes that's content, sometimes it's a physical space. Turn them loose to go off and find something that they find interesting, a little bit of free choice learning. -Andrew Cross Status quo is our enemy too often. -Andrew Cross Resources Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul by Dr. Stuart Brown The Play Conference by US Play Coalition The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact by Chip & Dan Heath Peak–end rule Episode 530 : Lessons from the Road: Share Your Teaching Stories with Dave Stachowiak Episode 527 : Beyond Dichotomous Thinking: Strategies to Enhance Teaching and Learning with Alexis Peirce Caudell The Museum Experience Revisited by John H Falk, Lynn D Dierking Activity-Based Teaching in the Art Museum: Movement, Embodiment, Emotion by Getty Museum The 5 “E”s

    Cultivating Hope and Action Beyond Grades, with Josh Eyler

    Josh Eyler helps us cultivate hope and action beyond grades on episode 534 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Teachers, instructors, educators at all levels can really work with students to find elements of what we are teaching that those students find individually interesting. -Josh Eyler We can help them learn how to ask questions that are meaningful to them, how to really dig in and find ways that the content becomes meaningful to who they are as people. -Josh Eyler We're in another period of significant grading reform right now, fueled, I believe, by mass communication and social media. People are now able to connect in ways that in previous eras of grading reform, they were not able to. -Josh Eyler Resources Failing Our Future: How Grades Harm Students, and What We Can Do about It, by Josh Eyler How Humans Learn: The Science and Stories Behind Effective College Teaching, by Josh Eyler Kariann Fuqua Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, by David Epstein Moonwalking with Einstein : The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, by Joshua Foer Self determination theory Reconceptualizing Participation Grading as Skill Building, by Alanna Gillis University of Virginia: Michael Palmer Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, by Anne Lamott Premortums Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto, by Kevin Gannon How to Podcast: How to help a Loved One with Dementia Failing Our Future: How Grades Harm Students, and What We Can Do about It, by Josh Eyler Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal, Bettina L.
