SUMMARY:UT System Lunch & Learn Series: Lifting the Languishing: Overcoming Disengagement and Flourishing in a Post-Covid World
DESCRIPTION:Reclaiming the Joy of Teaching: Lifting the Languishing: Overcoming Disengagement and Flourishing in a Post-Covid World \nHosted by UT Arlington \nPresenter: \n\nBeth Fleener\, Senior Teaching Innovation Research Associate\, Center for Research in Teaching and Learning (CRTLE)\n\nAfter experiencing two years of living with uncertainty\, isolation\, and constant stress\, faculty are feeling overwhelmed to a point beyond the level of using coping skills. There exists a general feeling of joylessness and aimlessness among faculty\, potentially leading to stagnation\, emptiness\, and overall disengagement.  This feeling of disengagement has been coined as languishing by leading sociologists. Human needs are not being met among those who are languishing. This situation among faculty cannot be ignored as it impacts students and importantly\, the faculty member themselves. This session is framed around the adage of “putting on your oxygen mask first before helping others” and addresses the pandemic’s effects of teaching within the scope of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.  Understanding human needs can begin to lift the languishing among faculty. When faculty are flourishing\, students are excited about learning again and the joy of teaching will be reclaimed. \nMicrosoft Teams meeting Join on your computer or mobile app Click here to join the meeting \nOr call in (audio only) +1 737-220-2208\,\,334457008#   United States\, Austin \nPhone Conference ID: 334 457 008# \nFind a local number | Reset PIN | Learn More | Meeting options \n
