The Mindful Educator: Beyond Expertise & Technique

Authenticity and presence have been identified as some of the most important attributes of effective instructors. In this course, you will explore how mindful reflection supports the development of these skills. Through self-reflection, dialogue, and interactive exercises, you will increase your awareness of how the person you are impacts your teaching, the assumptions and beliefs you hold about your role as an educator, and how the practice of mindfulness promotes personal and interpersonal flexibility and resilience in and out of the classroom. This course can be used in the Instructor Development Certificate program, and the Certificate in Advanced Facilitation and Consultation. (Formerly INDC114)
