Unlocking Our Imagination: Fostering Student Learning Through Curiosity + Wonder

When it comes to pedagogy, our sometimes-limited imagination can hinder our attempts to facilitate learning and engage students. This talk will explore how creative educators from around the world are igniting their creativity and heightening student learning. Approaches drawn from cognitive psychology, will be discussed. Finally, the importance of our collective care and empathy will be stressed. Bonni has produced over 440 episodes of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast and takes inspiration from the world-class educators she has had the honor of speaking to weekly over the past nine years.
