| 03/25/20 | Pedagogy in times of disruption | Touro University Western Division: Teaching during times of potential disruption requires creative and flexible thinking about how instructors can support students in achieving essential core course learning objectives. This guide offers suggestions for instructors looking to continue offering a student-centered learning experience online.
While the process may feel unfamiliar and at times frustrating, try as much as possible to be patient. In times of disruption, everyone expects some pedagogical and technological hiccups. Be willing to switch tactics if something isn’t working.
Focus on maintaining a growth mindset for both yourself and your students. Under normal circumstances, we make a point of conveying to our students how much we believe they can grow as learners in our courses and disciplines. Similarly, approach the pandemic disruption knowing that you and your students can and will succeed in this unfamiliar learning environment.
Remember, while you might not be able to teach something exactly the way you imagined, as long as you’re still meeting the learning goals of the course, you’re doing fine.
