Appreciative Teaching:
The Positive Practice of Online Teaching
by Dr. Bruce A. Johnson
If you maintain a disposition which reflects your enjoyment of the work you do, this will also show up in your interactions and before long, you will naturally be using appreciative teaching. When students perceive you appreciate them in some manner, and they experience ongoing positive interactions with you, appreciative teaching will have also become a transformational strategy. Both you and your students will be transformed.
Dr. J, I wanted to take a moment and thank you, as well as commend you for being one of the BEST educators I have EVER known. Your class and the way you taught us left me not only inspired, and engaged, but also competent with how and what we learned from your class. It is not often an educator like yourself comes into a person’s life, but I am sure glad you came into mine.
