with Stephanie Cawthon

| March 13, 2025 | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Stephanie Cawthon shares about her book, Disability Is Human – The Vital Power of Accessibility in Everyday Life, on episode 561 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

We all have disability at one time or another, maybe just not right now.
-Stephanie Cawthon

I think that there is still a sense of surprise when a request is made for some kind of modification.
-Stephanie Cawthon

This idea that accommodations and accessibility is coming at some cost to the abled is a false pretense.
-Stephanie Cawthon

If you receive a whole bunch of feedback and you can't do anything about it, that just makes you feel bad.
-Stephanie Cawthon

I was really trying to help us understand our assumptions about disability and accessibility.
-Stephanie Cawthon

Equip Students to Dialog Across Differences Using an AI Guide

with Nicholas DiBella & Simon Cullen

| March 6, 2025 | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella discuss how to equip students to dialog across differences using an AI Guide they’ve created on episode 560 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

TIHE560-1 UPDATE

Most of my students have not heard cogent arguments on the other side of whatever their own position is because they've been so siloed.
-Simon Cullen

In every one of these classes the point is to try and confront students with the strongest arguments I can find, ideally for the thing they don't believe.
-Simon Cullen

The first thing they hear from me is if you wish to avoid the risk of being offended, then you should probably not be taking this class.
-Simon Cullen

In philosophy, we always embrace disagreement.
-Nicholas DiBella

We have designed the guide to be as neutral as possible.
-Nicholas DiBella

Cultivating Critical Teaching Behaviors

with Claudia Cornejo Happel & Lauren Barbeau

| February 27, 2025 | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Lauren Barbeau + Claudia Cornejo Happel discuss how to cultivate critical teaching behaviors on episode 559 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Being a good teacher or a good researcher is not something you're born with. It's something you learn. It's something you can get better at.

Being a good teacher or a good researcher is not something you're born with. It's something you learn. It's something you can get better at.
-Lauren Barbeau

Teaching doesn't fall into nice, neat color coded boxes. We need something that represents the complexity and the messiness and the way that behaviors overlap and might fall into more than one category.
-Lauren Barbeau

If we can't reflect on our teaching, we can't identify our strengths to start leveraging them, to start working on them.
-Lauren Barbeau

If you're looking for an entry point into critical teaching behaviors, start by reflecting on your teaching and take a look at the materials we've provided to help you do that.
-Lauren Barbeau

Be kind to yourself because some semesters are harder than others.
-Lauren Barbeau

It all comes back to caring about students, being transparent about what we're doing in the classroom, explaining our purpose, and involving them in the conversation that is the learning together in the classroom.
-Claudia Cornejo Happel

While there's no one thing that is more difficult than another, it really helps us to find a behavior that resonates with us and that we can use as a lens to think about our teaching more holistically.

How to Learn Students’ Names

with Michelle Miller

| February 20, 2025 | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Michelle Miller shares about her book, A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names: Why You Should, Why It's Hard, How You Can, on episode 558 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The test isn't on how well you can recognize the name. The test is on how well you can say the names. That's what you need need to practice doing.

I think a lot of us kinda simmer in this little mindset of, everybody else can do this and I can't.
-Michelle Miller

We’ve all heard the old saying it’s the sweetest sound that anybody ever hears their own name. It elevates the conversation differently to be able to use names.
-Michelle Miller

The test isn't on how well you can recognize the name. The test is on how well you can say the names. That's what you need need to practice doing.
