Will Hennessy shares about fostering neurodivergent learners’ growth on episode 499 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, internal and external tics that occur repeatedly in the same way. OCD is a neurological disorder that causes problems with information processing.
-Will Hennessy
I honestly thought that I just wasn't as smart as my peers, that I just needed to try harder, or that one day, I guess, it would just kinda all click in my brain. Now, obviously, I know that's not the case now, but that's kind of where I was at.
-Will Hennessy
I want to create inclusive learning environments for neurodivergent learners and introverts, students like me.
-Will Hennessy
Structure is incredibly important for neurodivergent learners. Even though we're implementing flexibility and choice, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be a free for all where students can just do whatever they want, that could actually hinder learning.
-Will Hennessy
Neurodivergent learners need structure. All learners need need structure.

Let’s learn how can we be flexible and adaptable so that we can roll with whatever is available to us.

This course will make you uncomfortable. And if it doesn't, we're not doing our job.

We get to know our students, and they get to know us.
-Paul Galbally
A brave space is when you can make a space safe by talking about things.
-Paul Galbally
It is more about learning to think rather than having all the solutions.

Jennifer Coon talks about how to know our audience in an AI world on episode 496 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
I'm always interested in talking with students about how they got to the point that they're at today.
-Jennifer Coon
There is value in the blank slate.
-Jennifer Coon
Professors are the ones who are really training students to be the next economists, to be the next scientists, to be the next accountants, to be the next everything.
-Jennifer Coon
Service learning is a chance for students to get out of themselves and to experience what it feels like to do some good for someone else.
