Did you know that emotional dysregulation affects cognitive function? And that it is turn may affect academic success? Please contact me for a detailed document regarding the webinar (includes the list of topics)

Increasing academic success does not necessarily mean increasing time in front of books. Learning cannot happen if you are not in the correct emotional mindspace. Emotion dysregulation literally affects cognitive function. In addition to directly affecting cognitive processing, emotion regulation may also be indirectly related to early academic success. One mechanism by which children's emotion regulation skills may contribute to their early academic success is through behavioural control in the classroom. Learn more about Emotion Regulation and how it affects academic success in our webinar that is open to EVERYBODY! The webinar is scheduled for the following dates and times (all GMT +2): 16 February 2024 10:00-12:00 2 March 2024 12:00 - 14:00 22 March 2024 14:00-16:00 4 April 2024 9:00-11:00 (Maximum of 20 attendees per session) There are two options available for attendees: 1.

Great insights from the Teaching section of the Chronicle of Higher Education by Beth Murtrie! The article highlights the importance of adapting readings to resonate with the new generation of learners. Key takeaways include: - Reconsidering readings to make them more relevant and interesting for students. - Providing students with options for assessing knowledge through different assignments or assessments. These ideas are rooted in andragogy, offering faculty valuable tools to engage adult learners and help them derive meaning from course content, ultimately enhancing learning outcomes.

It's that time of the year again! Some of you know I am the editor of the National Teaching and Learning Forum, a newsletter that Wiley publishes six times a year. We're entering our summer hiatus, which is when I solicit submissions for the upcoming academic year! The formal call read as follows: The National Teaching and Learning Forum encourages submissions on any aspect of college teaching and learning. Articles usually run 1000 to 1500 words that cover a variety of aspects about teaching and learning: research, personal experiences, tips and strategies for instructors, online learning, instructional design, innovative assignments and assessments, and more. Normally, articles come from faculty, but other writers are more than welcome to submit, including administrators, staff, and students. Instead of relying solely on technical jargon, please write articles with a broader audience in mind, so that anyone interested in teaching and learning can read it. Rather than send in a whole article, please send in a pitch (one to two short paragraphs) detailing what your article will be about and why you are the right person to write it. Submit pitches or manuscripts to the editor, Lee Skallerup Bessette, at [email protected]. Feel free to message me here or email me at my Wiley address with any questions and do please send me your pitches! https://lnkd.in/ecUHKNNm
