February Sessions
Ask an Author! How to Build Stronger Connections between Instructors and Students
with James Morris & Betsy Barefoot
Feb. 6 @ 12PM ET
It can be disheartening to speak to a sea of blank faces or black Zoom screens. Meaningful connections between instructors and students are at the core of the educational experience, and for many of us, the very reason we teach! Join an interdisciplinary panel of Macmillan authors for a conversation on the importance of instructor and student connections and practical tips for helping to forge that bond.
Using Digital Tools to Encourage Human Connection
with Mollie Anderson, Germán Rosas-Acosta & Suzanne McCormack
Feb. 20 @ 12PM ET
With online homework, hybrid classrooms, and virtual lessons it can be a challenge to feel connected to your students. But technology doesn't have to divide you! Join this webinar to hear how our panel of faculty advocates use digital tools to feel closer to their students than ever.
March Sessions
Ask an Author! Building a Bridge between Classroom and Career
Kevin Revell, Stacey Cochran & Paul Gore
Mar. 6 @ 12PM ET
As instructors your goal is not just to help students see the beauty of your discipline, but to help prepare them for their lives in the wider world. Students benefit when they see how skills and content they are learning in the classroom might be applied in their jobs and in their lives. Join our interdisciplinary panel of Macmillan authors to learn practical tips for showcasing the connections between the classroom and students' future careers.
Why This Class Matters: From Discovering to Doing
with Mike Shapiro & Marissa Dahari
Mar. 20 @ 12PM ET
For many students, school is not an objective in and of itself. Rather, it is a step on the road to their futures. By emphasizing how the class supports those future goals, instructors help students see why their course matters. Students can move from first discovering a new skill or concept to applying it in real world situations. Join a panel of faculty advocates to discuss how teaching with applications motivates students and helps them keep their eyes on the prize.
April Sessions
Culturally Responsive Teaching: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How You Can Do It!
with Debi Rutledge
Apr. 10 @ 12PM ET
Culturally responsive teaching uses students' own customs, characteristics, experiences, and perspectives as tools for better classroom instruction. This allows more students of all backgrounds to see themselves and their communities as belonging in academic spaces. Join Debi Rutledge for a discussion of why this is so crucial and how you can start applying culturally responsive teaching methods to your course today!
