Description
Explore trauma-informed strategies that motivate learning and teaching, and reflect on the interdependence of student and teacher well-being in this online workshop. It can be challenging for instructors to remain connected to the intrinsic motivation to teach or to support their students in connecting to their intrinsic motivation to learn. Part of building motivation in the classroom is prioritizing this collective connection and learning. Participants will leave this workshop with a clearly articulated teaching philosophy reflecting the interdependence of student and teacher well-being that will serve to guide our future mentorship and pedagogical approaches. By the end of this workshop, participants will also be prepared to:
  • Describe the intimate link between instructor and student motivation using the frameworks of parallel processes and trauma-informed teaching
  • Explain the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and develop strategies for cultivating the former in themselves and their students
  • Employ evidence-based approaches to attune and attend to their needs as instructors and to the needs of their students
  • Distill their personal values as a teacher into a concrete teaching philosophy statement
