Teaching in Higher Ed

Marlo Goldstein Hode discusses barriers to inclusion in our teaching and approaches to embrace a diverse classroom on episode 319 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Being mindful of diversity and inclusion in an online environment is equally as important as it is in the classroom.

Everybody has implicit biases.

Our unconscious biases can be overridden, but they can’t be overwritten

Ainissa Ramirez shares about her new book, The Alchemy of Us, on episode 318 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

It’s just these little things that add up and eventually they completely dispirit a person.

Professors and teachers have a profound impact on people’s lives.

If we can learn from the past and see our reflection, we can make decisions about our present and make better decisions about our future.

It’s a burden to have to be perfect.

Laura Horne shares about student mental health – creating a culture of caring on episode 317 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

I don’t think that we really always realize how common mental health issues are.

We all have some degree of personal experience with what it is like to struggle emotionally.

Learning is curiosity, it is relational, it is alive.

Asking for help is a sign of strength and it is necessary.

Maria Andersen discusses how to design courses for the uncertain Fall semester on episode 316 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Even when we are told what is going to be happening, nobody believes it anymore.

This lack of knowledge for what is concretely going to happen is a barrier for a lot of people.

Better to go deep than to go wide.

Viviana Pezzullo shares about theory versus practice in pedagogy on episode 315 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

It was interesting to see how the same technique may be applied in different fields.

Sometimes for students it may not be comfortable to share videos, but I think it is important for the professor to do it.

Courtney Plotts discusses culturally-responsive online teaching on episode 314 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

How well are we really reaching our students? How is that authenticity coming through?

Show me community and I will participate. Show me that I am safe. Show me you understand my concerns.

If I really want to connect with you, I need to learn more about you and really define the space for you.

José Luis Vilson discusses race, class, and education on episode 313 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Either you get ashamed of your identity or you are proud of your identity.

I just didn’t realize that all that information I was gathering was going to become something that would eventually make me whole.

So many of us feel like education is a matter of life and death.

David White shares about digital visitors and residents on episode 312 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Fundamentally it is about motivation to engage.

That is what education is about, it is encouraging people to make connections.

A set of practices or literacies that exist in one context don’t necessarily easily translate over to another context.

The digital environment is as much where people live as the physical environment.

Robin DeRosa and Martha Burtis about the new ACE framework to guide instructional planning in responses to COVID-19 on episode 311 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Faculty would be well served by using their instructional missions more in their course designs.

I think reflecting the human condition is part of the job and the work of universities and colleges.

We should be showing people how we survive a situation like this by embracing the human condition.

We really need to keep broader humanity in mind right now and not be myopic in our vision.

Remi Kalir shares about teaching and learning in a time of pandemic on episode 310 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

The so-called “normal” that existed did not work for many students to begin with.

We will privilege care.

The challenges facing every institution are going to be different.
