What are T&L (Teaching & Learning) Conversations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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, Fanshawe, Lambton, and St. Clair Colleges in a guided conversation to discuss your insights and reflections on the resource below.<\/p>\n

This conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Supporting students and maintaining high expectations are sometimes treated as competing priorities. If we extend a deadline, are we being compassionate or lowering expectations? If we hold firm to a standard, are we supporting student development or failing to recognize the realities students are navigating?<\/p>\n

The concept of the warm demander offers another way to think about this tension. Warm demanders combine genuine care, trust, and belief in students with high expectations and a willingness to challenge them. Rather than removing struggle, they create the conditions and provide the support that help students work through it.<\/p>\n

In this interactive session, faculty will explore what warm demander pedagogy might look like in a post-secondary context.<\/p>\n

We will examine the question: How do we care deeply about students while also asking a great deal of them?<\/p>\n

Group work is both an opportunity and challenge in our classrooms. \u00a0How do we ensure work is distributed fairly? How do we handle conflict in groups? How do we evaluate them?
