    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

    Assignment Makeovers in the AI Age, with Derek Bruff

    Derek Bruff shares about assignment makeovers in the AI age on episode 481 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast



    Quotes from the episode





    The technologies at play in higher education changed dramatically in a very short amount of time, and that required us to kind of rethink what we were doing as teachers.

    -Derek Bruff



    For my course, I felt like it is fine to teach them to write using the AI tools as long as I can help them learn to use the tools well.

    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

A Whole New World

As a respiratory therapist who has transitioned to a college instructor, I am often lost in this whole new world. I have learned so much from Bonnie and her guests. I especially enjoy how she asks her guests to recommend something we should try. I’ve tried so many new things thanks to this one question! And Bonnie’s husband Dave has a great podcast too called Coaching for Leaders. As teachers we are both coaches and leaders! Thanks Bonnie and Dave, what a team you are!!!

Helpful, pragmatic, and real

I’ve made the transition from graduate student to assistant professor, and this podcast has greatly assisted my growth as an educator. I listen to every episode. Thank you, Bonnie!
