A Storyteller’s Approach to Teaching
Modern teachers are encouraged to think of lecturing as antiquated and ineffectual, but lectures can be a timeless pedagogical tool that need not be passive, boring, or ineffective. By invoking principles of effective storytelling, lectures can invite students on a journey through the concepts that requires them to engage, empathize, analyze, and reason critically. I will share concrete ways that you can use stories as an organizing framework for your lessons. I will also share some of my favorite storytelling examples, as well as performance strategies for making your classroom stories more vivid and compelling.

Is self-regulated learning the core skill for the age of generative AI?
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has raised significant issues for education, including psychology education. While there are differences across disciplines, no area is exempt from the implications of these emerging technologies. The acute issues primarily concern academic integrity, privacy, ethics, and transparency. However, there are longer-term issues to be addressed concerning the nature of human-computer interactions in learning. In this presentation, I will explore the hypothesis that self-regulated learning is the key skill for students to adapt to and thrive in the age of AI. Drawing on decades of research, I will describe how evaluative judgement and making good decisions about progress in learning will be increasingly critical as education shifts from an emphasis on inputs and outputs to processes of learning.
