Have you ever had a student ask this question, "Why did you give me a poor grade?" It seems that many students think that their teachers or instructors are responsible for their poor grades, rather than themselves. I will discuss methods that differentiate my role as a teacher, and the students' roles as learners, and how to enhance learning ownership.
Presented by: Dr. Hayley Hesseln
Hesseln is an associate professor in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. She teaches resource and environmental economics and has conducted research on the economics of forestry and forest fires, environmental and resource economics. She served as the Dean of Undergraduate Studies for the University of the Arctic from 2008-2012 working on curriculum development and distance delivery. In 2015, she got her executive coaching certification from Royal Roads University and started to focus more on the role of coaching and emotional intelligence in education and how it can enhance teaching and learning. Current research interests include workforce development, effective pedagogical approaches to learning, and the role of emotional intelligence on productivity, academic outcomes, and life-long learning. Hesseln is also the co-founder of EI Advantage.
