The Craft of Teaching
February 15, 2023, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
Making time for a mental health break during the semester can be challenging, but it’s important to recharge every day. Research suggests that crafting, like knitting, contributes to well-being in adults and that some types of crafting, such as doodling, can help with learning and recall. Join us on February 15 to learn more about why this is the case and experience the benefits for yourself! The first Craft of Teaching session will include a brief introduction to a teaching-related concept, plus a practical tip you can start using right away, followed by casual conversation and crafting. Bring your own craft project or relax with a simple activity provided by the CFE (think adult coloring books and paint-by-number). We’ll discuss the role of creativity in learning and share some activities to try with your students. Please register here so that we can provide supplies!
Participants will be able to:
- Connect with and learn from fellow UNC instructors
- Make time for well-being during the semester
- Incorporate new, evidence-based techniques into your teaching practice
