DoT-Contested Realities: KEYNOTE: Cultivating a Course Culture for Student Success Copy URL

Webinar by Anthony Perez.

We can't control the attitudes and beliefs that students bring into the classroom at the start of the semester. However, we can cultivate a classroom culture that sets the conditions for students to be motivated and engaged in our courses. I will discuss how the messages we communicate and the classroom structures we create can support or thwart adaptive student motivation and belonging.

DoT-Contested Realities: Decision Frames and Difficult Conversations Copy URL

Webinar by Jason O'Toole.

Having difficult conversations is a skill that requires practice. Simply stating that we want our graduates to be insightful and prospective leaders who promote empathy, mutual understanding, and recognition of differences is not enough. It is crucial that we give our students the theoretical foundations and opportunities to practice engaging in difficult conversations, especially when ideological differences seem to be widening. I will share lessons I've learned from teaching management classes and offer insights and ideas on how I’ve invited and encouraged my students to actively participate in difficult conversations, both in synchronous and asynchronous learning environments.
