Teaching as an Artform: Redefining Community in the Classroom

Abstract

" Teaching as an Artform: Redefining Community in the classroom. The Community of Inquiry model (Garrison, 2017) underscores the notion that the educator/instructor plays a key role in creating connections with learners, which leads to long term retention. The Community of Inquiry framework represents the model for teaching to create a deep and meaningful learning experience through the development of social, cognitive, and teaching presence (Garrison, 2017). That said, this presentation will provide some experiences relating to how we, as educators, have applied innovative techniques to help facilitate relationships that support an inclusive learning space, while challenging participants to share some of their best practices. Participants will ponder teaching and learning in a constant state of mindful choices with evaluation and reflection as a means toward constant improvement. "
