Description
Join your colleagues for a discussion of the book, Connected Teaching:Relationship, Power, and Mattering in Higher Education by Harriet L. Schwartz, Stylus Publishing, 2019. Each participant will receive a copy of the book ahead of time.
Excerpted from the publisher: This book explores teaching as a relational practice – a practice wherein connection and disconnection with students, power, identity, and emotion shape the teaching and learning endeavor. ...Connected Teaching is informed and inspired by Relational Cultural Theory (RCT). The premise of RCT is that the experience of engaging in growth-fostering interactions and relationships is essential to human development. In this book, the author shows that RCT has much to offer those devoted to student learning and development, providing a foundation from which to understand the transformative potential of teaching as a relational practice.
There will be two sessions, Thursday, October 17 and Monday, October 28. Register for ONE session only.
