Asset-Based Pedagogies

When we use an asset-based pedagogical approach, we consider how we can leverage the interests, lived experiences, aspirations, and expertise that students have in our courses and assignments. Asset-based pedagogies can help students make connections between other aspects of their lives and their academic work, which can have benefits for motivation, confidence, and sense of belonging. In this workshop, you will learn more about asset-based pedagogies and how you can incorporate them into your teaching practice.

The workshop is open to all faculty, staff, and graduate students at Ohio State. For those wishing to complete the Meaningful Inquiry endorsement from the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning, this workshop counts as an elective.

Facilitator: Dr. Amy Collins-Warfield, Assistant Professor, Center for Learning Innovation at the University of Minnesota Rochester. For questions, contact Amanda Folk.
