Filling Our Teaching Cornucopias with a Teaching Subject Draft!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this holiday today. And happy Thursday, November 23, to everyone else.

In this episode we are filling up our teaching cornucopias by conducting a teaching draft to build the best class that we can. We select from 6 categories all about building the best classroom experience possible. We pick (with associated timestamps)...

3:10—Subject Matter—What are you teaching?

7:46—Instructional Style—How are you going to teach the material?

13:57—Food—What are you bringing for students to eat?

18:24—Beverage—What are you bringing for students to drink?

21:30—Learning Environment—How is your learning environment set up?

29:19—Assessment—How will you assess student learning?

38:28—Reviewing our Cornucopias of Teaching—What all did we pick?

In the end, who do you think put together the best class? Let us know! Email Michael (micbraun@mcw.edu) to share what class you want to sign up for and why. We will share responses in a future episode.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Emilios Ellinas, our colleague Herodotos Ellinas's father, who passed away recently. Though we never had the pleasure of meeting Emilios, we're moved by stories of his joy and humor, and hope to do him proud with this fun podcast.
