鲍鱼tv Conference On University Teaching and Learning

Educating the Whole Student鈥嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧��

April 29th & 30th, 2020

Call for Pro鈥嬧�嬧�嬧�媝osals Call extended until Monday, February 10, 2020

Students enter and leave their post-secondary education with a multiplicity of commitments and identities听that听inform their experiences听as learners. The majority of 21st-century students juggle jobs, family, health,听and听finances,听in addition to coursework and planning for the future.听Teaching the whole听person听鈥撎齟ncompassing mind,听body,听heart,听and听spirit 鈥撎齛ddresses听these competing pressures by听affirming听students鈥櫶齛nd instructors鈥� humanity. According to听Schoem,听Modey听and St. John (2017), supporting the whole student through teaching and learning provides a number of benefits by increasing 鈥渟tudent commitment to learning because students see themselves as part of an engaged, supportive and caring scholarly community鈥� (p. xii). How do we consider these factors as we educate the whole student at our institutions?

Colleagues are invited to submit proposals for sessions that might consider, but are not limited to, the following questions:听

• How can educating the whole student foster relationships and build community to promote learning?
• How does the work of student affairs intersect with the concept of educating the whole student?
• How do we support 鈥渟oft-skill鈥� development?
• Does the curriculum include opportunities for educating students holistically?听
• What initiatives around educating the whole student are currently in practice at our institutions?听
• How do we educate the whole student online?听Using technology?听In large classes? In graduate seminars?听
