Notre Dame faculty who have participated in the Kaneb Center Course Design Academy, Notre Dame Inclusive Teaching Academy, and the Foundational Course Transformation Academy will share informal, three-minute lightning talks about exciting aspects of their own teaching. Come grab a cup of coffee and learn more about some of the great teaching going on right here on our campus.
10:30–11:45 a.m.Speaker: Cate Denial, Knox College
What does it mean to practice a Pedagogy of Kindness? This presentation will explore three tenets of compassionate teaching: justice, believing students, and believing in students. We’ll reflect together on what kindness (and its lack) has meant to us within academia, and how we can—piece by piece—assemble a kind approach to pedagogy that meets the needs of our students and ourselves in a time of great change.
12:00–1:30 p.m.
Take the time to connect with colleagues and join us for lunch!
