Tracie Addy talks about the inclusive teaching visualization project and classroom observation protocols on episode 426 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Try not to focus on the observer. Teach like you normally would if they were not there.

Viji Sathy and Kelly Hogan talk about their new book: Inclusive Teaching – Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom on episode 425 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Is there something I can do to invite more students in?

An inclusive classroom is really intentional in both course design and the in-class environment.

We hold ourselves back in checking boxes.

How do we help ALL the learners, however they come to us?

How do we design an experience that actually helps students meet their goals?

Our work in inclusive teaching is a journey; there is no final destination.

Inclusive teaching will keep on evolving because people keep evolving, students keep evolving, and topics keep evolving.

We don’t want to leave it to chance that things will go well.

Rob Parke and Michael Boyce explore with me what the tv show Severance would look like if it took place in higher ed (spoilers at very end – we warn you when to hop off)) on episode 424 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

I think there is a culture of “I’m going hard for 9 months with very little boundaries and then I am off for the summer.”

Setting boundaries in my syllabus is me setting up expectations for work-life balance.

I think a lot of push on student-centered teaching almost encourages bad boundaries.

Many of us in our institutions don’t deal with grief well.

Bonni Stachowiak talks about an opportunity to observe a friend’s hybrid class on episode 423 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Learners are ready to hear deeper explanations, once we have ignited their curiosity.

We should be constantly making invitations for students to come back and focus.

How can we get students to help us get some feedback?

Todd Zakrajsek shares about the 3rd edition of The New Science of Learning on episode 422 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Let people struggle a little bit.

If you don’t teach students how to do well in groups, they don’t tend to get better at it.

Bonni and Dave Stachowiak talk about intentional calendaring on episode 421 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

A calendar can be really helpful because you’ve done some planning in advance to see what is most important for you to do and how much time that is likely to take.

When you have a calendar you’re not making decisions every single hour of every single work day about where you are going to put your energy next. This causes a lot of decision fatigue.

A calendar is all about intention, about making decisions about what is most important.

Dana Wanzer on saving time with Zotero on episode 420 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Most of us do not need to be doing more at this time.

It doesn’t have to be something that just helps you, it can also help others.

Julia Charles talks about disrupting the syllabus on episode 419 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Disrupting suggests that there is something that necessitates change over time.

I am disrupting an ideology, a way of thinking, about this document.

I view the syllabus as a tool for engagement.

When the syllabus is a document that you can be excited about, students become more creative in the class.

I’ve learned to ask for help and reach outside of myself.

Christopher Richmann talks about the self and syllabus project on episode 418 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

There is growing interest in the issue of the self that we bring into the classroom.

We are embedded selves and we bring ourselves and all of the artifacts that go along with our teaching into the classroom and into the task of teaching.

Am I coming across on my syllabus? Do students meet me in my syllabus?

Not all knowledge can be assessed or expressed in the same way.

Terry Greene talks about the liberated learners project on episode 417 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

You can learn with style.

If you can advocate for yourself and others, then you can collaborate, network, and build connections.

There are a lot of steps a person can take towards being someone who works well with others.

This is for learners, by learners. It is co-designed with students.

Working with others can be scary, but it is so rewarding in the end.
