Engaging Your Students by Being a Good Host
Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at 10:15 AM–11:15 AM EDT
Room 225
Abstract for Conference Program (150 words max)
In "The Art of Gathering," Priya Parker describes ways that any gathering can become more focused, meaningful, and successfully goal-driven. Our class times are no exception. In this session, we will explore, among other things, how to define the purpose for our class meetings, how to avoid being a “chill” host, how to use rules to our (and our students’) advantage, and how to prime your students in the pregame. If you elect to come to this session, please arrive on time and bring: Your personal stories of engagement, your avid curiosity, your passion for teaching, your creative mind, and your watch. You’ll need it.
