Kerry Moore joins me to answer a question about setting boundaries with students, along with a few other listener questions, on episode 156 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
What am I like in the classroom and does that feel authentic to who I am?
I would challenge the idea that having difficult conversations isn’t compatible with being a positive and supportive teaching presence.
What are the ways that I’m going to make sure I’m available for connection to students with different personality styles?
We can be friendly with our students … but if we call it a friendship, we’re setting up the students and ourselves for frustration and disappointment.
