Time for Teaching

This podcast was born out of a passion for teaching and learning, & the recognition of how despite our best and most sincere intentions, sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day to do everything we’d like to. Previously, we attended PD, we read, we connected and collaborated, & we used a variety of mediums to learn, share, and grow. For some, these options may be limited now. This podcast aims to collect, curate, discuss, & suggest strategies for applying teaching & learning principles and ideas, while appreciating both the challenges and joy of teaching in higher education.
