Pursuing Academic and Social Integration through Highlighting Individuality
2005 Excellence in Teaching Award Winner
Joy Beverly
College of Arts & Sciences, Mathematics
How can we encourage our students to have quality interaction, both academically and socially, in ways that help them to grow as scholars and individuals? This workshop will present inexpensive and practical ways to increase academic and social integration within the classroom through highlighting individuality. The two major components of this practice, name-calling and interviewing, will be outlined, as well as techniques for learning students' names. Some of the supporting research for this practice will be presented, as well as exploration of the possible benefits to both instructors and students, including better class interaction and discipline, more group study and better instructor evaluations.
