Imagine that you are an instructor looking for resources on how to apply the six experiences in your teaching practice. What would you want in a resource? What ideally would it look like? by

2024-12-04 14:55:16 UTC

An interactive guide with broad topics and detailed actionable sub-topics with resources - including videos, articles, books, podcasts, etc.

2024-12-04 14:55:21 UTC

Editable templates for specific activities that can be modified for different disciplines with examples of what those modifications might look like.

2024-12-04 14:55:32 UTC

Bulleted lists of steps/information with a list of additional resources.

2024-12-04 14:56:17 UTC

One stop website with searchable database of different kinds of materials: podcasts, articles, videos, etc.

2024-12-04 14:56:21 UTC

Various example syllabi and lesson plans for different disciplines, incorporating experiential learning, service-based learning, and/or internships (#5)

melissa_shehane — 2024-12-04 14:56:26 UTC

I like practical resources that include handouts, short videos, readings, etc.

2024-12-04 14:56:28 UTC

Easily searchable

2024-12-04 14:56:32 UTC

Evidence-based approaches that are practical and actionable

2024-12-04 14:56:41 UTC

Stories from other faculty about how they have implemented various approaches.

2024-12-04 14:56:43 UTC

Accessible Youtube videos that can be used as models.

2024-12-04 14:56:48 UTC

I would like the guide to have narratives of stories of successes and struggles from faculty members at a variety of institutions.

2024-12-04 14:57:03 UTC

Examples for different class sizes - small seminars, midsize 40-50, large classes - what works (or can work) in each

paolaehrmantraut — 2024-12-04 14:57:04 UTC

Data with a lens on equity and access. For example: data to support equitable access to extracurricular activities

2024-12-04 14:57:15 UTC

short media (videos, podcast episodes) that I can consume weekly

2024-12-04 14:57:17 UTC

Incorporating engaging teaching methods, real world examples, and interactive discussions can spark curiosity and enthusiasm in students.

2024-12-04 14:57:23 UTC

Written in clear, concise prose. No academic jargon.

2024-12-04 14:57:24 UTC

Material transferrable to classroom

2024-12-04 14:57:47 UTC

I would like some websites

2024-12-04 14:58:02 UTC

website with discussion boards that encourage the conversation to go further

2024-12-04 14:58:08 UTC

I would like to have something that is a one-pager with QR codes or links to more information.

2024-12-04 14:58:14 UTC

Quick access to Gallup statistics to share with other faculty

ms6411 — 2024-12-04 14:58:15 UTC

I think I would want a resource that would be easy to access, but also something I could trust. Both text and video would probably be helpful so that it wasn't just research-based information but also some practical advice from teachers on the subject. Something that would be similar to the content we'd create for an online course I suppose.

2024-12-04 14:58:18 UTC

I am BIG on examples. So I like the idea of putting together real-world examples, case studies, and scenarios that would help instructors see exactly how they could improve their relationship building

2024-12-04 14:58:22 UTC

A list of the other people in my department and opportunities to connect with them in an effort to collaborate and communicate about future directions and opportunities for improvement.

2024-12-04 14:58:23 UTC

A podcast series or repository of short videos (5-6 minutes) that can be watched quickly group together by topics. Topic folders can have additional resources for a deep dive into a specific area.

2024-12-04 14:58:27 UTC

If I'm hoping to implement this in my classes, then I'd like a mini module that I can plug into Canvas

2024-12-04 14:58:32 UTC

I envision it as one page that has each of the six and then you click on it and there are categories (like activities, resources, etc.) that you then click and it expands. It would therefore not be overwhelming but you could drill down into specific stuff without having to leave the main page

2024-12-04 14:58:35 UTC

I would want a list of resources such as the books we have read, but other resources for reading as well.

2024-12-04 14:58:36 UTC

Mobile and web access so that you can view it from a variety of devices

2024-12-04 14:58:37 UTC

Ideas from students? What has engaged them?

2024-12-04 14:58:49 UTC

Variety of classroom materials--single active learning activities to lessons to a Unit for example that could be embedded in various disciplines

2024-12-04 14:58:54 UTC

Approaches that include narratives, how-to guides, and assessments for effectiveness

2024-12-04 14:59:31 UTC

Potential impact for students and me (to convince those with some apathy)

2024-12-04 14:59:46 UTC

Include feedback from users--this would make the document a living conversation

as well as increase its relevance

2024-12-04 14:59:47 UTC

Accessible format
Action-oriented
Evidence-based (examples)
Adaptable template

2024-12-04 15:00:29 UTC

Tangible ideas that require small actions/low effort...It is hard and overwhelming to add something big and new into an existing course or even when developing a new course. Always a good idea to start small and then grow from there.

2024-12-04 15:00:52 UTC

I would want the Big Six woven into the relational teaching philosophy in a way that it is useful and easy for faculty to grasp. They aren't two separate philosophies.

2024-12-04 15:02:12 UTC

Editable is important!

2024-12-04 15:02:17 UTC

A space for community and sharing of ideas/resources and asking questions

paolaehrmantraut — 2024-12-04 15:03:10 UTC

Storytelling. Having little case studies on the 6 experiences or stories we can share that are written in a compelling way.

ms6411 — 2024-12-04 15:04:18 UTC

I think it would be helpful to make it actionable in some way. Like a course where faculty would implement practices and return to report on how it went.

2024-12-04 15:04:32 UTC

I think we should also address common misconceptions or barriers that instructors face to prioritizing relationship-building. For example, an instructor might think, "It's not my job to build relationships with my student. My job is just to teach them." Why is this not the case?

2024-12-04 15:09:39 UTC

Ensure we touch on implementation and scalability, not just examples, to understand facilitators and navigating barriers
