Helpful, Encouraging, And Rigorous by Aris Winger

All are important

This is the hardest part of teaching

2024-02-23 19:31:18 UTC

Yes, this is possible!

2024-02-23 19:31:24 UTC

Encouraging. I just don’t know how to do it authentically that doesn’t sound canned or fakey

Consistency

Sometimes, it's about setting boundaries.

Sometimes building confidence and a love of learning trumps content knowledge.

How can we balance these three?

2024-02-23 19:31:56 UTC

Ideally we can be rigorous without students realizing it

It’s a lot of work to be helpful, engaged and available to students, faculty and staff.

Time to have ongoing conversation to achieve the balance

I have learned that exams are also a learning tool and are not the end all to learning by placing a grade.

How to communicate with students in a way that rigor and helpfulness aren't in conflict

Encouraging

2024-02-23 19:32:34 UTC

What is rigor?

2024-02-23 19:32:39 UTC

At what point does it become being taken advantage of?

mikefarina — 2024-02-23 19:32:44 UTC

I am often reflecting on what each student needs when they ask for exceptions, and I worry whether my decision is truly fair and equitable or how much is influenced by my biases.

2024-02-23 19:32:48 UTC

Over extending myself

2024-02-23 19:32:51 UTC

What else can we add to the HER paradigm?

2024-02-23 19:33:03 UTC

2024-02-23 19:33:17 UTC

Trust underlies everything. Students don’t find help in actions they don’t trust; students are not encouraged by words they don’t trust; rigor is refused without trust. How can we build that trust?

Students who never show up, impossible to encourage.

2024-02-23 19:34:40 UTC

Do we tie these to work expectations, rigor, and help to be available at prospective work places

mikefarina — 2024-02-23 19:34:41 UTC

How often we are equating student worth with grades...

2024-02-23 19:34:53 UTC

How does this resonate with McKeachie's teaching tips?

2024-02-23 19:36:06 UTC

2024-02-23 19:36:36 UTC

Is it rigorous to allow students to show knowledge in their way rather than in all ways?

How can we get students to work together to promote H.E.R. with one another?
