The Mindful Professor: Prioritizing Well-being for Effective Teaching
How can faculty care for their own well-being while also creating stronger learning environments for students?
That question guided the March 18 Faculty Voices session led by Dr. Dianna Rachell Jones, Assistant Professor of Practice in the School of Social Work and CIRTL Faculty Facilitator. Rather than treating well-being as something separate from teaching, Dr. Jones presented it as part of effective teaching itself. A central message ran through the session from beginning to end. Faculty presence matters. When instructors are regulated, prepared, flexible, and aware of their own stress, students benefit. When faculty are overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted, the classroom feels it too.
