Humans are naturally curious, and we are learning machines! But do most of our students truly know what it takes to learn? We all learn to walk quite naturally ... but becoming an ultra-marathoner takes a whole new set of physical, cognitive, and psychological skills.

Academic institutions have grown to recognize the importance of mentoring and many have created formal structures and processes to ensure everyone can be successful. But do formal mentoring programs really work? The results so far are mixed but like all human relationships, there are no simple answers. Get the Transcript!

In recent years, there's been lots of attention devoted to inclusive teaching with the goal of addressing the needs of an increasingly diverse student body.

Students Seem Disconnected and Disengaged. Why?

2022/07/05

In this episode, we talk about student engagement ... or the lack thereof ... cognitive engagement, emotional engagement, behavioral engagement, and professional engagement. Students seem less connected to the faculty and their peers, despite "returning" to campus this past year. There are likely a number of converging contributing factors: increasing technology use and distraction, work demands, stress and mental health, diminished time on campus, and social cluing barriers (e.g. masking).

The Value of Utility Infielders and Cultivating Range

2022/02/01

In this episode, we discuss the value of generalists (aka utility infielders) - faculty with broad knowledge and range of skills - and why our students may be better served by generalists rather than specialists. While academia (and clinical practice) prizes specialization, there are downsides. Narrowing our focus too much can limit creativity and hamper open-mindedness. But anyone can be a utility infielder and remain agile by working across disciplines, networking, reading widely, remaining
