Teaching with Tough Empathy Pedagogy

Tough empathy pedagogy is an educational practice that requires faculty to listen to students about their misunderstandings, fears, and hopes in order to give them the appropriate guidance and support for success. This practice has the potential to improve faculty-student engagement by increasing the quantity and quality of interactions with students. When executed correctly, empathic teaching can lead to empathic learning. In this workshop, participants will discuss the practice and hear the presenter’s experiences with using it in her teaching.
