Course Climate Teaching Strategies by Eugenie.Garcia https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk Pick one strategy from our presentation that you will take with you in the future and share why you chose it. Comment on one other post. en-us 2022-05-25 18:15:47 UTC 2025-12-03 10:48:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Use material that is relevant to your student’s lives. eugeniemariegarcia https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2199784579 It is so important to be able to form connections from the material to your life. It makes the material more interesting for students and they become more engaged. If a student can't find any connections to their lives in the material, they may find the learning to be of little worth and become unresponsive or uninvolved.]]> 2022-05-25 18:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2199784579 Allocating time for students after lectures. https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2204322253 I think that this strategy is significant for student learning and teacher learning. Using even a minimal time after class to speak with students about course materials or for just a quick chat allows students to feel connected and heard in the classroom. This is beneficial as some students learn better one-on-one and prefer to have their questions answered right away, rather than waiting for an e-mail to come through, which may take many hours or even days. Building good relationships with students will create a more positive learning climate and enhance the interactions between students and professors.

This is something that I currently do and I find that giving the student more time to practice the feedback, even if it is an assignment, allows the students to hit their goals in the end.

It is ridiculous to think that I may be able to get away with something just because I am the instructor. If I expect my students to be on time for class, for example, then it is imperative that I am on time as well.  Students learn a lot from your behavior, and if they see you as someone they look up to, then they will model their behavior on what they see you doing.  This is something to keep in mind when interacting with our students. They see you as an example of what they are trying to become with the learning you are providing, so it is very important to me to make sure I am living up to their expectations. ]]> 2022-05-31 02:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2205318201 Stereotype Threat https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2206922408 I had never heard this term before this presentation, but i instantly recognized it when i read the description in the presentation. I did some addition reading here:
Casad, B.J., Bryant, W.J., (2016), Addressing Stereotype Threat is Critical to Diversity and Inclusion in Organizational Psychology, Frontiers in Psychology, 7, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00008

Diversity and inclusion are two of the most important pieces of learning for me, and combatting stereotype threat is a key piece of that. I will be doing more research on this topic and trying tools on how to minimize or eliminate it. -KLH

This will encourage students to step outside their comfort zone and get the most out of the learning opportunity-Brandy]]> 2022-06-01 18:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2207921433 Tone https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2208311679 Establishing a positive, open and engaging tone early in the class would be the strategy that I will use in the future. This would indicate to the students that I am interested in teaching the material which encourages them to also be interested in the material and by being more open it lets the students know that they can reach out to me if they have any questions regarding the subject. - Sahib ]]> 2022-06-02 02:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2208311679 Tone donaldlester https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2209128827 The instructor's feelings about the course material go a long way toward the tone the instructor uses when presenting the topic. Generally, if you have an excited feeling about the content and can use an inquisitive tone, students will make note of this and try to connect with why you are excited. Even if they don't, they will pick up on your tone and feel the general excitement in the room. So when I am teaching a subject, I often try to find new facts about the topic that fascinate me and build my own excitement about the topic. - Don]]> 2022-06-02 15:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2209128827 Faculty-Student interaction https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2211562005 Staying involved with the learner is so important. They will know that you care as an instructor. If they know that you are engaged with them they will have more success in the classroom. ]]> 2022-06-05 22:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2211562005 Faculty-Student Interaction https://padlet.com/eugeniemariegarcia/hpochwtlc23ho4bk/wish/2211605605 I will definitely be taking the faculty-student interaction into the future. I really like how you described and outlined this topic. I have personally been positively impacted by this sort of relationship. I loved how you mentioned how they care about the students' academic problems. Great area to look at.
