Teaching Tomorrow: YOUR Teaching Newsletter

What does future-ready pedagogy mean?

February's Teaching Tomorrow focuses on the idea of future-ready pedagogy and what that means in higher education. Higher education is changing day by day, and the expectations of instructors, staff, and students also seems to be in flux constantly. This issue gives some glimpses into a few different perspectives on campus, as well as off campus. I hope this issue is able to spark some reflection into what future-ready pedagogy means to you, and how it shows up in your life.

Getting ready for a new semester...

This January, I wanted to create an issue that contains resources, links, and ideas to help support the start of a semester as well resources to help support small changes you may be trying to implement. As you explore this issue, I encourage you to think of those small (not big) meaningful changes you may want to make in your course. Making big changes is overwhelming, and once a semester starts, we are in for the ride. My goal with this issue is to provide you with ideas to help support those small changes as opposed to big changes

December Grab Bag

This month, I wanted to create a "grab bag" of sorts. I reached out to various instructors to gather different assignments, activities, and strategies they use in their classroom. The goal is to get a glimpse into what others are doing in their classrooms and possibly take some of the strategies to use or experiment within your own classrooms. Additionally, I hope to feature various strategies and activities in future issues. Take a look at section 7: Teach it Forward if you would like to share something from your class.

Being Mindful in the midst of busy semester

The second issue of Teaching Tomorrow takes a closer look at mindfulness in various positions and areas around campus. This month we focused on what mindfulness looks like for students as well as instructors and what it might look like in the classroom. One of my favorite sections is Madi DeFrain's where she has provided specific applicable strategies to use in your classroom.
