When we talk about student-centered teaching, we often forget to look at our students and the circumstances that influence their learning. In this seminar, we will explore three areas that often overlap in our students’ lives to the detriment of their education. These areas are trauma and resilience/y, systemic oppression, and neurodiversity. As we deepen our understanding of how systemic oppressions can undermine and disrupt successful learning, we will practice facilitation skills, strengthen our working memories, and learn practical activities to establish stability, increase capacity, become appropriately flexible, and create positive communities for our students while accelerating their critical thinking development and academic success. The Practical Teaching for Resilient Learning seminar will be our guide through theory and practice in a hybrid online format. We will be asked to reflect on readings, discussions, and our own teaching and social justice work as we develop individual teaching and learning projects that support enhanced resiliency and capacity for our students. Resilient Communications As we identify ourselves distinctly from one another, practicing communications that are and feel respectful and appreciative can be challenging. Here are a few recommended readings to support resilient communications in our seminar and your classes (and I trust, all aspects of your lives): Gender pronouns Microagressions Racism, Cultural Bias, and Self-Care Racism (for those identifying as of color or multiracial) Racism (for those identifying as white or mostly white) Racism, Cultural Bias, and Self-Care Religious Bias Sexism WORKSHOP RESOURCES Semester Fall 2021 October 7 session Workshop recording PTRL 10-7-21_chat Jamboard November 4 session Workshop recording PTRL 11-5-21 Zoom chat Jamboard December 9 session Workshop recording PTRL 12-9-21 Zoom chat Jamboard Empty outline worksheet (please download or copy rather than edit this template) Facilitation Roles/Skills Spring 2022 February 10 session Workshop recording PTRL 2-10-22 Zoom chat edited Jamboard Minds-at-Work March 17 session Workshop recording PTRL 3-17-22 Zoom chat_edited Jamboard April 14 session (participant-designed and led) Workshop recording PTRL 4-14-22 Zoom chat Jamboard Recommended Resources PTRL Seminar Primary Models for Resilient Learning The Resiliency Principles The STAR Dynamics Facilitation Roles-Skills Data and Statistics: John Jay/CUNY: John Jay Fact Books (these are usually 12-18 months behind where we are currently) CUNY Student Data Books (Current & Historical) Mental Health/Neurodiversity: Mental Health (National Institute of Mental Health, NIMH) 33 Alarming College Student Mental Health Statistics Comorbidity – an overview Systemic Oppression: 2020 Hate Crime Statistics 26 simple charts to show friends and family who aren’t convinced racism is still a problem in America Religious Landscape Study: Adults in New York New York’s Equality Profile (LGBTQIA statistics) Trauma (also see October assigned readings) Statistics (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence) Trauma Statistics What Is Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
