In this session you will be exposed to the perspectives of three generations of students and educators who have experience with compassionate practices in the classroom. Through interactive activities, discussions, and reflection you will identify compassionate practices to use in conjunction with your teaching style. This session is meant to be interactive. We want participants to walk away with an understanding of what compassionate teaching is, some tools to facilitate compassion, and a desire to enhance student experience in the classroom and learning process through compassion.
Objectives:
- To promote an understanding of compassionate pedagogy across disciplines in the modern teaching environment, including the benefits and barriers for both student and instructor.
- To support the analysis and evaluation of compassionate pedagogy in relation to participants’ current approaches.
- To foster the application of compassionate pedagogy through the creation to personalized examples of practice.
