Effective Debriefing Approaches


Listen Later

Stephanie Lancaster shares ways to effectively debrief with our students on episode 139 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The role of any educator is to be there for their students: someone to talk to and lean on, or just to be with in times of need.

–Stephanie Lancaster

I learned the power of reflection in teaching and learning.

–Stephanie Lancaster

Debriefing is the process of strategically examining and analyzing what happened after the completion of an event or activity, within the context of learning.

–Stephanie Lancaster

What’s your big takeaway, and how does that connect to what you’re going to be doing in the real world?

–Stephanie Lancaster

The biggest challenge is that my students tend to want to talk just to me … really what I want them to do is to talk to each other.

–Stephanie Lancaster
