Kate | Sociology | 8 years teaching
Here’s how Kate connects with students and promotes positive thinking:
“I’ve recently found the power in normalizing challenges in my course. We have all heard about how difficult times are now and my students are no different. Struggles with finances, family, mental health and beyond have impacted their work and meeting deadlines. In order to normalize the challenges, they are likely to face, I have shared my own struggles in higher education and current work. In doing so, I make personal connections and encourage a growth mindset, limiting the feeling of failure.”
