Abstract
We hear plenty of alarms about students’ mental health challenges, with professors often feeling like they must become therapists and coaches in addition to instructors. In this workshop, we’ll talk about how mental health impacts our students’ abilities to engage in our classes and absorb class material/readings. Without requiring instructors to take on the emotional labor of managing students’ mental health, we’ll discuss things instructors can do to improve student learning by examining and reframing our pedagogical choices. Attendees will leave with ideas on how to craft their class sessions to improve student attention, engagement, and learning.
