Participants in this workshop will explore how to “teach with compassion” as described by Peter Kaufman and Janine Schipper in Teaching with Compassion: An Educator’s Oath to Teach from the Heart. Participants will be introduced to the dimensions of compassion, the difference between compassion and empathy, burnout (compassion fatigue), the benefits of compassion, and the different principles of teaching with compassion. Participants will be able to apply principles in their own teaching.
Facilitators:
- Kevin Guidry, Assessment Program Director, Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence
