First-Year Seminar Series: Appreciative Inquiry

Appreciative Inquiry is a strengths-based framework that helps individuals and organizations leverage their strengths in order to thrive and make meaning of their experiences. Through this pedagogical approach educators can empower students and assist them in designing success plans based on their strengths, resources, and values. In this interactive session, participants will focus on Appreciative Inquiry as a contemplative pedagogy and examine ways to apply it to their teaching.
