Teaching has always been deeply human work, but that can be harder to sustain in a time of rapid change. Through it all, students still need opportunities to be heard, build relationships, and feel part of a learning community.
Through discussion, activities, reflection, and play, each presenter will explore a different aspect of human-centered education, including personal values, authentic voice, wellbeing, and connection.
You’ll explore how your teaching values can guide everyday decisions, how to preserve authentic student voice in an AI-enabled classroom, and how small practices can support wellbeing, connection, and joy.
You’ll also experience activities you can adapt for your own courses, including reflection prompts, values-based discussion, and simple strategies that help students feel more present and connected. Please contact Barb Bird for questions.
