The Latin word “persona” most directly translates to “mask.” Should we wear a mask while teaching? What kind of mask should we wear? This workshop will explore why and how we might develop a teaching persona that works for us as instructors and is also conducive to student learning. It will also allow participants to consider how to interact with undergraduate students who may be close in age to the instructor.
This session aligns with the “Instructional Strategies” domain of the TILT Teaching Effectiveness Framework. It is open to all CSU faculty, postdocs, staff, and graduate students and is a required workshop for the Graduate Student Teaching Certificate of Completion.
