Course Description

This course moves beyond major pedagogical strategies of a classroom setting to look at the subtleties and nuances that give way to transformational teaching; explores theoretical and practical approaches associated with inspiring teaching practices. Inspiring teaching goes beyond the traditional "know, tell and control" teaching model, it steps away from the instructor-centered approach to one that is learner-centered and focuses on inquiry on the development of higher-order thinking and self-motivating learners.  Topics addressed include, but are not limited to, inspiring teaching and learning perspectives around the world, and exploring ways

to connect with English language learners and disengaged students.
