how do we make our spaces and our
educational institutions welcoming how
do we make them a place where students
want to continuously come to class how
do we make it so that they feel like
they matter and so empathy means can we
see them for who they are can we listen
to where they're coming from and journey
them through teaching with empathy to me
is an extension of holistic education
the idea that the entire student matters
remembering that really teachers are at
the service of students we are there to
help them get where they need to go most
faculty will tell you that students are
experiencing anxiety and other emotional
anguish just from the pressure of
getting into college being successful in
college going on to graduate school
students are dealing with real so
let's sit down let's come up with a
strategy for how you can succeed in this
class for me that's what teaching with
empathy means I want my students and
know that I care about their learning I
want them to understand that I was once
a student for a very long time and I've
had the experience of having courses
that were super fun to go to and some
courses that were daunting teach with
empathy to means trying to understand
I guess what's important to my students
what do they want to get out of the
course and what examples material would
be relevant to them I'm really tapping
into the difference the diversity the
positive aspects of difference and
diversity not just oh we're so different
we can't understand each other I'm
saying no we're so different that we can
actually learn a lot from each other
what I love about top hat is that it
serves the needs of all different kinds
of students so whether you're the
student who gets bored in a lecture or
whether you're the student who just
needs to have some activity to get them
involved or or you're the student who
has really interesting ideas but you're
maybe a little too shy to say something
this provides you with a platform that
works for all of our students by
creating a discussion board in the
background a simple thing without that
you are able to let their questions be
heard I go read their questions they now
feel confident oh the professor chose my
question and then you find that the next
time there's an opportunity for them to
perhaps raise their hand to engage with me
me
they are gonna feel a little bit more
likely to do so I really like the online
discussions so I require in a lot of my
classes students to post a few questions
or responses every week I really
encourage them to post articles or
videos or memes or Twitter posts or
whatever they think is related to the
course whatever they find interesting it
creates an opportunity for everyone to
belong to the conversation everyone's
contributing something important and if
I'm not creating opportunities for those
connections then I think I'm really
missing a chance to make the material
meaningful to them as opposed to a
traditional model of just standing
behind a podium teaching the students
and you might to ask questions but
you're really not understanding how
engaged they are with not only the
material being taught but how that's
going that's fitting into their career
goals their overall experiences and I
know the more I connect with students
the more successful I am and the better
outcomes I have and the more successful
