Quotes from the episode
Some students might be doing just fine with the traditional, maybe unstructured class. But we know from evidence, lots of research now shows that this type of structure does help students.
-Justin Shaffer
The keyword through all 3 steps is alignment.

How Role Clarity and Boundaries Can Help Us Thrive, with Karen Costa
Karen Costa shares how role clarity and boundaries can help us thrive on episode 505 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
I saw people being asked to, like, completely revamp their entire course and learn how to online, but nothing was removed from their plate.

So the first question I want folks to ask themselves is what are my qualifications in this role.

Just because you are qualified to do it does not mean that it is yours.

A Whole New World
As a respiratory therapist who has transitioned to a college instructor, I am often lost in this whole new world. I have learned so much from Bonnie and her guests. I especially enjoy how she asks her guests to recommend something we should try. I’ve tried so many new things thanks to this one question! And Bonnie’s husband Dave has a great podcast too called Coaching for Leaders. As teachers we are both coaches and leaders! Thanks Bonnie and Dave, what a team you are!!!
Helpful, pragmatic, and real
I’ve made the transition from graduate student to assistant professor, and this podcast has greatly assisted my growth as an educator. I listen to every episode. Thank you, Bonnie!
