Teaching for Shy People
Tuesday, April 16, 2024
10:30 a.m.ā12 p.m.
Killam Library, Room B400
Some of us who teach are shy, or feel shy about teaching; and any classroom is likely to include some students who are more reserved and some who are more outgoing. In this workshop, weāll consider some aspects of shyness in the classroom and how we might navigate course design, student activities, interactions with students, and our own approaches to teaching. This workshop isnāt about trying to āfixā shyness, our own or our studentsā, but rather about building a set of practices and ways of thinking that can shape teaching and learning in our classrooms.
Facilitator
