Teaching for Shy People
Tuesday, April 16, 2024
10:30 a.m.鈥�12 p.m.
Killam Library, Room B400
Some of us who teach are shy, or feel shy about teaching; and any classroom is likely to include some students who are more reserved and some who are more outgoing. In this workshop, we鈥檒l consider some aspects of shyness in the classroom and how we might navigate course design, student activities, interactions with students, and our own approaches to teaching. This workshop isn鈥檛 about trying to 鈥渇ix鈥� shyness, our own or our students鈥�, but rather about building a set of practices and ways of thinking that can shape teaching and learning in our classrooms.
