August 9, 2023: Teaching for Shy People Â
10:30 - 12:00 pmÂ
In-person, Killam Library, B400
Facilitator: Gillian Gass (University Teaching Fellow, Department of Biology, Part-time Instructor at the University of King’s College, and Faculty Associate with CLT) 
Some of us who teach are shy, or feel shy about teaching; and any classroom is likely to include some students who are more reserved and some who are more outgoing. In this workshop, we’ll consider some aspects of shyness in the classroom and how we might navigate course design, student activities, interactions with students, and our own approaches to teaching. This workshop isn’t about trying to “fix†shyness, our own or our students’, but rather about building a set of practices and ways of thinking that can shape teaching and learning in our classrooms.
