Joyful Teaching in Every Class: Find Your Fizz to Boost Learning and Success

Letโ€™s face it. Teaching these days is tough. Weโ€™re exhausted, burned out, and frustrated by the societal challenges (think politics or AI) weโ€™re navigating today. Yet our work is important, meaningful, and worthwhile. Weโ€™re changing lives and helping dreams come true.

Based on Flowerโ€™s forthcoming book, The Joyful Online Teacher: Finding Our Fizz in Asynchronous Classes, this session will help us see how to promote flourishingโ€”our own and our studentsโ€™โ€”and rediscover the joy inherent in transformational teaching and learning.
