Teaching in Higher Ed

Shawna Rodabaugh and Ian Wolf talk about reducing fear in learning context on episode 379 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

You have absolutely no idea what people are capable of until you put them in a situation where they can flourish.

The true measure of whether I can teach or not is if I can bring it down to the level where someone who has never seen it before will understand it.

We need to recognize that the hard questions are usually philosophical at their root.

We are all philosophers.

Lauren Bellaera discusses critical thinking in theory and practice on episode 377 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

When you’re teaching students, you have limited time. So all of the time you’re making particular pedagogical choices about where to focus.

When teaching, we tend to like to put things in a dichotomy.

Critical thinking is a really important life skill.

The bridging between research and practice is very important.

Betsy Barre talks about how (and why) to use a course workload estimator on episode 375 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

The difference between an expert reader and a student reader is that an expert reader will slow down when they don’t know a word.

Students are reading, they just aren’t reading well.

Is this activity really worth it given my outcomes of the course?

We all need to be talking more about time.

James Lang shares about the second edition of Small Teaching on episode 374 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Small changes can absolutely lead to revolutionary changes.

Students have to be introduced and conditioned to accept different types of teaching approaches.

I love having my students try to teach things they have learned to another audience.

My most fundamental principal about teaching is vary what you’re doing.
