August 9, 2023: Teaching for Shy People Ā 

10:30 - 12:00 pmĀ 
In-person,ā€ÆKillam Library, B400

Facilitator:ā€ÆGillian Gass (University Teaching Fellow, Department of Biology, Part-time Instructor at the University of Kingā€™s College, and Faculty Associate with CLT)ā€Æ

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, weā€™ll 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 isnā€™t about trying to ā€œfixā€ 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.
