Considering the impact of temperament on teaching and learning

How people learn based on their personality type will be discussed during a teaching and learning event Monday, Oct. 26.

Introversion and Extroversion: Implications for Teaching and Learning is being held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in TH253.

Nicki Monahan will engage participants from all disciplines to explore their own learning preferences, and to consider the impact of temperament on teaching and learning.

Through reflection and active learning, participants will gain insight into the strengths and challenges facing students across the introversion/extroversion spectrum and consider practical strategies to create more inclusive learning environments. The goal is not to turn introverts into extroverts, or vice versa, but to maximize learning for all students and to help them develop the skills often identified by potential employers — teamwork, problem solving and interpersonal communication.

Following this session join Centre for Pedagogical Innovation and others from the Brock community for a Pedagogical Walk & Talk from 1-2 p.m. as we walk campus trails and chat about teaching and learning.

Online registration for both sessions can be found at www.brocku.ca/cpi.
