  • What Can I Get Out of This? Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics

    What Can I Get Out of This? Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics
    Dec 16 2025
    What happens when students walk into your classroom asking "Can I get out of this?" Professor Carlo Rotella, author of "What Can I Get Out of This? Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics," joins us to explore how student skepticism—about literature, interpretation, and even their own belonging—can become a productive starting point for learning. In this conversation, we tackle the tensions teachers face daily: wanting students to question everything while also needing them to engage, building authentic community in transactional educational systems, and reclaiming face-to-face discussion as essential human practice in an age of AI and instant information. Whether you teach third grade or college freshmen, you'll walk away with concrete strategies for lowering barriers to participation, transforming doubt into curiosity, and creating classrooms where every voice matters.

  • Grappling with Being: Writing, AI, and the Human Condition

    Grappling with Being: Writing, AI, and the Human Condition
    Dec 2 2025
    Tired of the polarizing debate about AI in writing classrooms? Dr. Kelsey Hammond offers a more nuanced path forward. Rather than creating endless guidelines about when students should or shouldn’t use ChatGPT in their writing process, she explores how writing itself can become a tool for understanding our relationship with AI. Through reflective essays, poetry, metaphor-making, and examining our own prompts as "mirrors of self," educators can help students develop discernment instead of just follow rules. This conversation invites each of us to shift how we think about AI, writing, and what it means to be human. We’re proud to make this content free and accessible to all.
