Teaching Through Unexpected (and sometimes Painful) experiences

In his lecture at the Boston University Instructional Innovation Conference, Moshe Cohen discusses how learning is an emotional and often uncomfortable journey. He emphasizes the importance of awareness, skills, habits, and temperament in fostering a conducive learning environment. By creating opportunities for practice within a collaborative framework, educators can facilitate meaningful learning experiences. Through innovative examples like "Not So Eazy’s Garage," Cohen illustrates the dynamics of competing, collaborating, compromising, and accommodating in learning scenarios. Discover how to turn discomfort into a powerful educational tool.
