Workshop Description:

In this workshop, participants will reflect upon and learn about strategies and approaches to online teaching and student engagement through an embodied pedagogy lens. Embodied pedagogy explores the role that our bodies and emotions play in moderating our teaching and learning. As part of the workshop, participants will engage in a series of guided, easy, creative activities, including painting and LEGO-building.

No artistic experience is required! Supplies for the activities will be mailed to participants prior to the workshop.

*Note: Due to the dynamic nature of this workshop with the creative supplies and mailing time to arrive for participants, we will be closing registration on Friday, October 18th, 2024 at 12:00pm noon EST and are also capping registration at 40 participants. Once we have compiled the final participant list, we will e-mail participants the Zoom link as well as confirm that their supplies are on the way.)
