My highly interactive workshops on Geeky Pedagogy-related topics offer practical, evidence-based tools for increasing student learning and empowering teaching self-efficacy. For faculty groups of any size from 5 to 50.
Introduction to Using Un-Grading to Empower Authentic Student Learning
Alternatives to Timed Exams
Five Ways to Increase Inclusivity and Student Learning
Getting Useful Student Feedback on Your Teaching
Practicing Gratitude While Teaching in Troubled Times
Using Un-Essays to Increase Student Engagement and Inclusion
I pay close attention to the myriad ways that employment status, campus culture, and identity—race, ethnicity, age, gender expression, socioeconomic class, sexual identity, and so on—shape teaching and learning. All of my workshops reflect this awareness and offer extensive opportunities for faculty brainstorming, discussion, and reflection about how to utilize a geek culture of sharing pedagogy in every unique teaching context. I will tailor my workshop to your needs. Let’s talk!
If you are looking for a keynote speaker to discuss evidence-based teaching and learning techniques from the perspective of an intellectual pedagogy geek with 20+ years in the classroom—with absolutely NO jargon, humorless pontificating, or terminal pomposity—look no further.
Picture a Professor: Classroom Strategies for Counteracting Stereotypes about Faculty
Edu-Nerds Assemble: Fighting Big Teaching Myths in Troubled Times
Geeky Grading: Nerd Out about Assessment Strategies to Reduce Stress and Increase Learning
In all my interactive talks, I explore how faculty can apply their intellectual prowess towards acquiring pedagogical content knowledge and how super-smart intellectuals, introverts, nerds, eggheads, and wonks teaching in academia can also “geek out” about pedagogy. I can tailor my keynote to your needs, including addressing online teaching and learning and pandemic pedagogy. Let’s talk!
At its heart, scholarship of teaching and learning is people who care about teaching talking to other people who care about teaching, and helping each other learn. Faculty learning communities and reading groups are one of the best ways to do this. I love talking to other people about teaching generally and about Geeky Pedagogy in particular. Together we’ll engage in honest reflection about the hard work it takes to teach effectively, from the perspective of a geek/introvert/nerd. In the process we’ll offer each other a lot of encouragement and support because I believe that anyone who wants to be an effective teacher can be, period. Let’s talk!
