Being a Social Butterfly Can Save Your Life

Join us for this week’s episode with JT Torres, Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Quinnipiac University.  The conversation with JT touches on the pressure of perfectionism, finding the right learning environment and learning to use your heart as a guide for all things. JT believes the most interesting thing he’s learned as an educational researcher is that we learn, grow, and change when we care about what we are doing and we feel cared about. This finding goes against years of thinking that the best way to educate humans was through content and intellectual stimulation. Fostering relationships in classrooms have resulted in so many achievement-based outcomes. And so, JT works to help educators, team and community leaders and professionals design care into their learning environments, whether in person, online, in community, or the workplace.   You can connect with JT on Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jt-torres-1aa72363   Learn more about your ad choices.
