Can developing student-teacher relationships address our anxieties about AI? When we shift the focus from controlling student behaviors to nurturing their curiosity and desire to connect, we reveal a realm of teaching strategies, course designs, and learning activities that remind us why we are educators. AI affords expediency and efficiency; these values do not have to characterize the entire learning experience. During this workshop, we will revisit our AI concerns through the lens of relational ethics and develop strategies to design, teach, and learn differently.

If you have attended the CCTI or any of our workshops for preparing a Teaching Statement, or Research Statement, this Scaffolding session is for you!
