Workshop: Creating a Culture of Abundance in the Classroom
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314
- Contact: Office of Faculty Development
- Description: Presented by: Libby Jones, Professor of English, Berea College
Wednesday, October 22, 2014, 12:00 – 1:00 pm
Library 314
Lunch will be served; all faculty are welcome.
Abstract: Given today’s very real challenges in learning and in teaching, the classroom may easily become a place of negativity and scarcity. In contrast, grounding the classroom in a culture of abundance can benefit both students and teachers. Affirmation is necessary for good teaching, necessary in spite of – or perhaps because of -- our students' needs, our complicities, our trials, and our sometimes apparently fruitless toil. I will present a theoretical base for the concept and value of abundance, then share some specific practices I’ve developed for myself and my students that encourage a classroom community of replenishment rather than depletion. A bibliography of readings and resources will be provided.
