My Pedagogy: Using Helping Skills to Navigate Challenging Conversations With Students

Information: More than ever before, college students are struggling with mental health issues, lack of resources, social isolation, and other serious concerns. Helping skills are a set of basic interpersonal behaviors drawn from the fields ofpsychology and counseling that allow a helper to effectively assist another person. Helping skills offer a simple, accessible framework that can help instructors navigate challenging conversations with students and provide support with compassion, empathy, and appropriate boundaries. This presentation will briefly review the helping skills framework, describe specific helping skills that instructors can use when communicating with students one-on-one or in small groups, and provide concrete examples of how helping skills can be used in an academic context.

Poster: A Social Media Project to Engage with Historical Figures and Examine Bias 
Faculty Member:  Melanie Schroer


Preview Session Here
Information: The #DeadlyArtist project is an active learning exercise which prompts the students to use a familiar and enjoyable tool—social media—to engage with a historical figure. Social media can increase interest, engagement, and communication in the classroom, and in this assignment, students bring their historical figure into the modern day. The composition of the profile and posts generates the benefits of point-of-view (POV) writing: the activity can metaphorically bring any historical figure “to life,” reduce prejudice, and increase empathy and awareness of others’ feelings.  
Discussion: After viewing a recorded class session, please use e-mail to ask a question or discuss the recording with the presenting faculty.
