Exploring the Potential of Play in Teaching and Learning

Who says learning can’t be fun? On Tuesday, February 27th, the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT) hosted a workshop titled “Exploring the Potential of Play in Teaching and Learning.” Led by CELT staff, Dr. Shawna Felkins and Kate Collins, the session introduced participants to “ludic pedagogy,” presenting play as a vital tool to enhance student engagement and transform learning.

Exploring the Pedagogy of Play

This in-person workshop will introduce participants to the benefits of incorporating play as a strategy for teaching and learning into the classroom. Participants will learn from peer examples of playful pedagogy, explore through play, and brainstorm ways that play could be incorporated into current and future courses. Tentatively located in the Cornerstone Innovation Space.

Inclusive & Equitable Pedagogy: A Mindful Practice

Building on previous discussions about fostering community and belonging in the learning environment, this workshop focuses on inclusion as a pedagogical practice and invites participants to explore mindfulness as a tool for sustaining work in inclusive and equitable pedagogical praxis.
