Start Up Strategy List (a summary of the 10 items discussed in this episode)
We really believe that the prep, development, and learning that is being done will still have great value once we return to face to face teaching. So know that the work you are putting into developing your remote teaching will not be a waste.
Lean (hard!) on your course outline. Use it a foundation/structure/touchpoints, but just make sure you use it! An alignment document (sample below) can be really helpful with this.
Be mindful in your planning - consider the impact on the content and assessment schedule for both you and your students.
Create an inclusive learning environment, and invite students to collaborate and be a part of it.
Talk openly and honestly about Academic Intregrity, Refer students to some or all of the amazing resources available on this, "open the door" - invite questions and let students know your shared learning space is a safe space to share.
Humanize your course as much as possible. Consider the impact that bedside manner has on your experience within the world of medicine, and remember that humanizing your course can have the same impact on the teaching and learning experience for your students.
Put some thought into who you are and want to be this term, and what your goals are for this class, this term, and this group of students.
Be as proactive as possible (if you know students will struggle to understand the expectations for an assignment if they're reading an assignment sheet, provide a screencasted walk-through of it instead), but also know that we are human, we are not perfect, and not every lesson will be a "home run" and that's OK!
Consider how, when, and why you're asking students to collaborate with you, the content, and eachother, and be deliberate and mindful in planning this. Participation and engagement look different in a remote environment, so sometimes we just need to adjust our expectations in order to ensure we're not disappointed.
Be kind to yourself and others....or better yet, be as kind to yourself as you are to others. Sometimes we just need a reminder that if we're doing our best, that is enough. Important for us as educators, and important to model and share with our students as well.
In this episode we discussed a number of different resources and wanted to share links/methods of access to each of these below. Please reach out to us with any questions!
