Teaching and Learning Center's Professional Development Series

Submitted by Ashley Schiffer

As part of the Teaching and Learning Center's Professional Development Series, Tareque Nasser, associate professor of finance, will present "A Piece of PEACE: Exploring Authenticity and How It Holds PEACE Together" from noon to 1 p.m. today, Wednesday, Sept. 25, via Zoom.

This facilitated discussion will explore the role of authenticity in teaching, inspired by Brené Brown's perspective of authenticity as a daily choice. Using Don Saucier's PEACE framework — Preparation, Expertise, Authenticity, Caring and Engagement — we'll examine how authenticity strengthens these elements. Through shared experiences and guided reflection, we’ll discuss how being authentic fosters trust, deeper connections and enhanced learning. Join us for an open conversation on embracing vulnerability and showing up as our true selves to create a more meaningful teaching experience.
