Leila Lawlor: “If you have chosen to
teach, you have chosen to place students at the center of your professional
universe. Tell them. They will appreciate knowing how much you want them to
thrive, to enjoy your teaching, and to meet their academic and professional
goals. As you get to know your students, they will surely appreciate your
interest in their lives and goals.”
Jody Blanke: “I like to teach by example. I think it is much easier to understand an idea if you can see it in action, rather than merely in the abstract. Quite often you can discuss the nuances of the topic by simply varying the facts of the example.”
Some of my favorite books are in this category, including Tuesdays with Morrie and The Happy Teacher Habits.

Fernando Doria:“I am enthusiastic about expanding my efforts
to create more cross-border interdisciplinary learning experiences. Such
experiences not only prompt participants to critically analyze novel ideas and
challenges but also encourage them to delve into the intricate intersections of
various fields of study while developing their global mindset.”
Yelena Abalmazova Chan: “Encourage students to explore all careers, classes, and topics that interest them. I really believe it’s a duty we have as instructors. I see some students tied to a major just because that’s what they chose based on pretty much no research or experience, and they clearly have no passion for it. There is nothing wrong with majoring in accounting but consider interning at a bakery if that’s something that piques their interest. Sometimes hearing that from an authority figure like a college professor is encouraging and gives students the permission to explore outside the box.”
Diana S. Barber, J.D.'s Key Takeaway: “I use numerous techniques to stay engaged with students, including intelligent agents that will automatically send email messages to students if they miss a quiz or assignment, as a reminder that I am available to assist and that their success is important to me.”
