My classes are centered around current issues the students can apply to their own lives. A student’s rendition of what an outline looks like. When they come to college is part of this process-style teaching. Overcoming the anxiety many students face Writing their more formal, graded papers. Informal, ungraded writings scaffold the students toward Presenting it on the board for the class to finalize encourages the students to Working in pairs to come up with a strong thesis statement and then Their ideas and interpretations and then outlining them in multiple ways is the Creativity is theĬornerstone of critical thinking and opens the floodgates of ideas. Texts and dissecting them in small groups in a variety of ways, both academicĪnd creative, lays the foundation for their papers. Process becomes a collaborative activity in the classroom. Manageable steps – but beyond the process itself, I teach it as an essentialįorm of communicating ideas for the students to master. I implement strategies of collaborative learning in my classroom and my assignments to make my courses inclusive and supportive of differences in cultural, gender, racial, and socio-economic approaches to writing and learning and to enhance empathy in my students. Luke Wood describes “authentic caring” for marginalized students and this includes an understanding and empathy for their struggles both in and outside of the classroom. I believe that every person can become a successful student with help, encouragement and the right environment. Every student comes to college with their own skill set, expectations of teachers and themselves, and personal experiences, and this spectrum of variables makes every class of students a little different than the next, which demands that I be flexible and that my breadth of knowledge in facilitating learning be wide enough to meet the needs of these diverse students and lead them toward success.Įquality, equity and belonging are social issues, and educational issues, that are at the core of my teaching philosophy. In writing assignments this includes deep learning of the topic, including analysis of their own experiences regarding that topic, research, considering other perspectives than their own, and a melding of the traditional academic writing required in so many college courses with their more individual styles. My goal in teaching is to inspire students to learn for the love of learning and to be able to apply all that they learn to their lives in a practical manner. I want to help my students acquire the skills they’ll need to use the power of language in the workplace and in life, and make them better, more effective communicators. If confinement measures aren't lifted or countered by appropriate policy support, say the survey's authors Raquel García (SIMPLE LÓGICA, Madrid), Christian Gayer (European Commission DG ECFIN), Werner Hölzl (WIFO - Austrian Institute of Economic Research, Vienna), Sergio Payo (Ministerio de Industria, Comercio y Turismo), Andreas Reuter (European Commission DG ECFIN) and Klaus Wohlrabe (EconPol Europe, ifo Institute, CESifo), the prevailing confinement measures will cause insolvencies or bankruptcies of 30-50% of all businesses by the end of July, rising to 50-80% by October.I believe writing is our most powerful form of communication it allows anyone to transfer their ideas to others, increasing our ability to live and work together successfully. T he sub-sectors hardest hit are manufacturing of consumer durables and investment goods, services in the field of tourism and gastronomy and retailers selling neither food nor beverages. A survey of German, Spanish and Austrian firms in the industry, services, retail trade and construction sectors finds that the overwhelming majority expect a negative impact of the corona-crisis on annual turnover (to the tune of 20% in Germany and Austria and 25-44% in Spain).
