Teaching in Higher Ed

Isabeau Iqbal shares about the peer review of teaching on episode #131 of Teaching in Higher Ed.

Formative peer reviews of teaching offer the opportunity for growth for both the reviewer and the reviewee.

Despite the fact that you might have decades of experience and high student evaluations of teaching, it’s still nerve-wracking.

There are best practices in peer review, but often those don’t get followed.

Chris Gilliard talks about digital redlining and privacy on episode 130 of Teaching in Higher Ed.

Unless you have a really keen understanding of how filtering works, you often don’t know what you’re not getting.

Both with faculty and students, the awareness of how closely we’re watched when we’re on networks is not high.

Digital redlining is tech policies, practices, pedagogy, and investment decisions that reinforce class and race boundaries.

Bill Dogterom shares about mentoring and the shared journey on episode #129 of Teaching in Higher Ed.

If they know that you really do have their best interests at heart, they’ll teach you how to teach them.

What I like to do most is to walk with people and to learn from them as much as they learn from me.

For me, it’s more of a shared journey than a pure mentor relationship.

If they know that you’re actually listening to them, they will let you into their story.

Bonni Stachowiak shares about retrieval practice tools on episode #127 of Teaching in Higher Ed.

When we think about learning, we typically focus on getting information into our students’ heads. What if instead we focus on getting information out of our students’ heads?

Forgetting is the friend of learning.

As we use our memories, the things that we recall become more recallable.

Humorous note from Andrew, our podcast editor, to Bonni, that was too good not to share here: “That ‘get back up again’ song has got nothing on the original inspirational song“

John Stewart shares how he uses Open Educational Resources (OER) in his teaching on episode 125 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Any time you’re doing experimental work, you can anticipate some of the problems, but not all of them.

Laziness at the faculty level hasn’t been invented recently.

It surprised me what amount of control of the course that faculty cede to the textbook industry.

Think about how you can take the time both for yourself and for your students to share what you’re doing.

Maha Bali talks about intercultural learning on episode 124 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

By spending a lot of time with people who are different than yourself, you get to know yourself even better.

When you leave your culture and go to live somewhere else it helps you question your values, what you take for granted, and your assumptions.

You need deep, sustained interaction with a person or a group of people to be able to understand their culture.

Yolanda Flores Niemann dialogs about being presumed incompetent in academia on episode #123 of Teaching in Higher Ed.

Only about 20% of faculty are people of color.

No matter how you think of yourself, you cease to be the independent scholar … and you become what the environment needs you to be because you are one of the few people of color.

We need to mentor women to not be afraid to negotiate.

The millennials are …  one of our most social-justice and equality-minded generations.

The responsibility for knowing about issues of race, class, and gender identity, and being able to mentor students around these issues, is a responsibility that needs to be shared.
