What are T&L (Teaching & Learning) Conversations?
T&L Conversations are small, informal, and guided conversations akin to a book or journal club. Participants come together virtually to discuss key impressions of the selected resource and reflect on how the themes explored in the resource relate to our lived experiences as educators. Join colleagues from Niagara, Mohawk, Fanshawe, Lambton, and St. Clair Colleges in a guided conversation to discuss your insights and reflections on the resource below.
The Focus of this Conversation:
Faculty today navigate an academic landscape marked by increasing student needs, heavier workloads and growing institutional pressures, all while striving to maintain personal well‑being. This session invites participants to review the articles Stress, coping strategies and academic achievement in teacher education students by Jose Gustems-Carnicer, Caterina Calderón and Diego Calderón-Garrido along with Balancing self care with accountability by Betty Shannon Prevatt and Pamela Norcross. We will discuss how the role of faculty has changed and what are some things faculty can do to take care of themselves and their students.
