Todd Zakrajsek talks about how to grow a positive learning community on episode 444 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
Community is what drives learning.
Students are not going to learn if they don’t believe they can learn.
My job is to help students be the best possible learners they can be.
It is important to know that everyone you meet can be fighting something at any given moment.
