  • 00:00:03
    how do we make our spaces and our
  • 00:00:06
    educational institutions welcoming how
  • 00:00:09
    do we make them a place where students
  • 00:00:10
    want to continuously come to class how
  • 00:00:13
    do we make it so that they feel like
  • 00:00:15
    they matter and so empathy means can we
  • 00:00:19
    see them for who they are can we listen
  • 00:00:21
    to where they're coming from and journey
  • 00:00:23
    them through teaching with empathy to me
  • 00:00:25
    is an extension of holistic education
  • 00:00:28
    the idea that the entire student matters
  • 00:00:32
    remembering that really teachers are at
  • 00:00:35
    the service of students we are there to
  • 00:00:38
    help them get where they need to go most
  • 00:00:40
    faculty will tell you that students are
  • 00:00:43
    experiencing anxiety and other emotional
  • 00:00:49
    anguish just from the pressure of
  • 00:00:51
    getting into college being successful in
  • 00:00:54
    college going on to graduate school
  • 00:00:56
    students are dealing with real so
  • 00:00:59
    let's sit down let's come up with a
  • 00:01:00
    strategy for how you can succeed in this
  • 00:01:02
    class for me that's what teaching with
  • 00:01:04
    empathy means I want my students and
  • 00:01:06
    know that I care about their learning I
  • 00:01:09
    want them to understand that I was once
  • 00:01:11
    a student for a very long time and I've
  • 00:01:14
    had the experience of having courses
  • 00:01:17
    that were super fun to go to and some
  • 00:01:20
    courses that were daunting teach with
  • 00:01:22
    empathy to means trying to understand
  • 00:01:25
    I guess what's important to my students
  • 00:01:27
    what do they want to get out of the
  • 00:01:28
    course and what examples material would
  • 00:01:31
    be relevant to them I'm really tapping
  • 00:01:33
    into the difference the diversity the
  • 00:01:36
    positive aspects of difference and
  • 00:01:37
    diversity not just oh we're so different
  • 00:01:40
    we can't understand each other I'm
  • 00:01:42
    saying no we're so different that we can
  • 00:01:43
    actually learn a lot from each other
  • 00:01:45
    what I love about top hat is that it
  • 00:01:48
    serves the needs of all different kinds
  • 00:01:50
    of students so whether you're the
  • 00:01:52
    student who gets bored in a lecture or
  • 00:01:56
    whether you're the student who just
  • 00:01:59
    needs to have some activity to get them
  • 00:02:02
    involved or or you're the student who
  • 00:02:05
    has really interesting ideas but you're
  • 00:02:08
    maybe a little too shy to say something
  • 00:02:11
    this provides you with a platform that
  • 00:02:13
    works for all of our students by
  • 00:02:15
    creating a discussion board in the
  • 00:02:16
    background a simple thing without that
  • 00:02:18
    you are able to let their questions be
  • 00:02:21
    heard I go read their questions they now
  • 00:02:24
    feel confident oh the professor chose my
  • 00:02:26
    question and then you find that the next
  • 00:02:29
    time there's an opportunity for them to
  • 00:02:32
    perhaps raise their hand to engage with
  • 00:02:34
    me
  • 00:02:35
    they are gonna feel a little bit more
  • 00:02:36
    likely to do so I really like the online
  • 00:02:38
    discussions so I require in a lot of my
  • 00:02:40
    classes students to post a few questions
  • 00:02:43
    or responses every week I really
  • 00:02:46
    encourage them to post articles or
  • 00:02:48
    videos or memes or Twitter posts or
  • 00:02:50
    whatever they think is related to the
  • 00:02:52
    course whatever they find interesting it
  • 00:02:53
    creates an opportunity for everyone to
  • 00:02:55
    belong to the conversation everyone's
  • 00:02:58
    contributing something important and if
  • 00:03:01
    I'm not creating opportunities for those
  • 00:03:03
    connections then I think I'm really
  • 00:03:06
    missing a chance to make the material
  • 00:03:09
    meaningful to them as opposed to a
  • 00:03:12
    traditional model of just standing
  • 00:03:14
    behind a podium teaching the students
  • 00:03:16
    and you might to ask questions but
  • 00:03:18
    you're really not understanding how
  • 00:03:19
    engaged they are with not only the
  • 00:03:22
    material being taught but how that's
  • 00:03:24
    going that's fitting into their career
  • 00:03:25
    goals their overall experiences and I
  • 00:03:29
    know the more I connect with students
  • 00:03:31
    the more successful I am and the better
  • 00:03:33
    outcomes I have and the more successful
  • 00:03:35
    I feel that students are
  • 00:03:39
