• Cultivating Critical Teaching Behaviors

  Lauren Barbeau + Claudia Cornejo Happel discuss how to cultivate critical teaching behaviors on episode 559 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Being a good teacher or a good researcher is not something you're born with. It's something you learn.
