Faculty reading circle on student (dis)engagement

Each month, we will engage with an article on student (dis)engagement in higher education and adaptive strategies. All Concordia teaching staff (including teaching assistants) and other staff by special request — regardless of whether you had time to read the full article. We’ll start with small group discussions each session and then collectively develop a practical knowledge base.

Subtopics may include whole-person education, relational learning, flexible pedagogy, or student participation.
