Sarah Cavanagh shares about her new book, HIVEMIND, on episode 274 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

When we have a classroom that’s built around one specific way of teaching we’re leaving people out.

Don Saucier discusses trickle-down engagement on episode 267 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Our emotions are absolutely contagious.

What we need to do is challenge our students.
