CITIBeat is a bi-weekly publication designed by the Center for Innovative and Transformative Instruction (CITI) to share teaching and learning best practices. The information shared in this newsletter aims to inform faculty of upcoming events, scholarly resources, and innovative solutions to enhance teaching efficacy and student engagement in every course at WSSU.
📚 Book of the Month
In The Courage to Teach, Parker J. Palmer speaks to the joys and pains that teachers of every sort know well. The book builds on a simple premise: good teaching can never be reduced to technique. Good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher. Good teachers love learners, learning, and the teaching life in a way that builds trust with students and colleagues, and keeps them coming back tomorrow. Palmer shares how teachers can reclaim their vision and purpose against the threat of burnout.
