Workshop Description
Instructors want the best for their students, but in and out of the classroom they may observe troubling behaviors that threaten students’ well-being. Though expert in their disciplines, they may feel less confident about how and when to intervene to help make a positive difference. This interactive session designed exclusively for IUP faculty will utilize a special version of Green Dot Bystander Intervention training created to help faculty work together to develop manageable tools to promote non-violence in their spheres. Participants will consider techniques for intervention and work with other faculty to apply them to relatable scenarios. It will conclude with the development of a toolkit to empower faculty to work with their students in promoting positive culture change.

Teaching the Whole Student by ISBN: 1620363046Publication Date: 2017-05-19Published in association with AAC&U Teaching the Whole Studentis a compendium of engaged teaching approaches by faculty across disciplines. These inspiring authors offer models for instructors who care deeply about their students, respect and recognize students' social identities and lived experiences, and are interested in creating community and environments of openness and trust to foster deep-learning, academic success, and meaning-making. The authors in this volume stretch the boundaries of academic learning and the classroom experience by seeking to identify the space between subject matter and a student's core values and prior knowledge. They work to find the interconnectedness of knowledge, understanding, meaning, inquiry and truth. They appreciate that students bring their full lives and experiences--their heart and spirit--into the classroom just as they bring their minds and intellectual inquiry. These approaches contribute to student learning and the core academic purposes of higher education, help students find meaning and purpose in their lives, and help strengthen our diverse democracy through students' active participation and leadership in civic life. They also have a demonstrated impact on critical and analytical thinking, student retention and academic success, personal well-being, commitments to civic engagement, diversity, and social justice. Topics discussed: * Teacher-student relationships and community building * How teaching the whole student increases persistence and completion rates * How an open learning environment fosters critical understanding * Strategies for developing deep social and personal reflection in experiential education and service learning The authors of this book remind us in poignant and empirical ways of the importance of teaching the whole student, as the book's title reflects.
