Session 1, 9:30-10:15am
Co-dependent No More? When Teaching Becomes Enabling
Lisa Eichorn, Jan Baker
Program Code: R1E
In this session, the two presenters will ask attendees to discuss several scenarios concerning particularly needy or demanding students and the amount of time, effort, and explicit assistance a teacher should offer in response to their demands. The presenters will also discuss suggestions to allow teachers to put reasonable limits on their availability to students to prevent burnout and foster student responsibility (while not sacrificing student evaluation ratings).
