It's so interesting that both Lisa and Madia's teaching tips revolve
around remembering their days as graduate students and how they
approached their multiple responsibilities while earning their degrees.
Their experiences resonate with several that I've come across in my
work with students, such as juggling schoolwork while adjusting to life
with a newborn, or taking care of an elderly parent. The list of duties
our students face can be extensive, and faculty have to decide how they
can engage with students who are struggling and dealing with multiple
responsibilities. For instance, that very first welcome call and check-in
emails can play a tremendous role in student engagement and success.
Thank you Lisa and Madia for sharing some of your teaching tips
and strategies!
Do you have an approach, strategy, or idea you think others would find
useful or interesting? Please share! You can send your ideas to Mindi
(mmull@ncu.edu) Siva (sperera@ncu.edu) and we would be happy to
include them in an upcoming faculty newsletter. Thanks!
