We are Non-Renewable Resources and other Inconvenient Truths: What It Means for Today's Instructors to Teach Today's Students

Dr. Lindsay Masland, Appalachian State University

Over the past few years, college instructors have been surprised, confused, and occasionally outraged by the students who show up in our classrooms. Lamentations over missing skills, low attendance rates, and disappointing work quality are center stage in many pedagogical discussions. Not surprisingly, the recommended antidote is to double down on our use of student-centered teaching.  In our quest to be student-centered, though, we can end up making choices that can overwhelm us with their unsustainability. In this workshop, we'll discuss how centering our own contexts and needs in pedagogical decision-making provides fertile ground for sustainable, effective teaching that benefits both our students and ourselves.
