Student-Centered, Democratic, Engaged: Inclusive Teaching Series

Monday, April 24: 2 AM New York l 7 AM Vienna
Tuesday, April 25: 7 AM New York l 12 PM Vienna

The Developing Teaching Professionals program invites OSUN teachers, students, and staff to its third inclusive teaching workshop, “Student-Centered, Democratic, Engaged: Classroom Challenges and Practices." Co-facilitated by speakers from American University of Central Asia and Central European University, this hybrid workshop introduces participants to student-centered pedagogy, democratic practices in teaching, and engaged learning. 

This interdisciplinary event brings together OSUN faculty and students to critically examine current pedagogy and learning practices that prioritize student-centered and experiential approaches. Although terms such as democratic, engaged, and student-centered could seem similar and are often used interchangeably, the guest speakers will suggest how insights can be gained from each of these distinctive approaches and invite attendees to think through appropriate applications of these approaches in their respective fields. Participants will explore the newest elephant in the room –  Artificial Intelligence – and its implications for student engagement, critical thinking, and critical skills. 

The event aims for participants to take actionable takeaways; thus active involvement is highly encouraged.
