Guest Speaker: Melissa Eblen-Zayas, “Pedagogical Wellness”

The extra intentionality we give to support student well-being can sometimes feel like it happens at the expense of our own capacity and well-being—but does it HAVE to? Come to this guest speaker-facilitated workshop, “Pedagogical Wellness is about Students and about You,” to explore ways to support student well-being while also supporting your own well-being inside and outside the classroom.

Eblen-Zayas is a condensed matter experimental physicist with interests in correlated electron systems, actively engaged in the scholarship of teaching and learning with interests in advanced lab instruction and approaches to creating classrooms and institutions that welcome diverse learners and teachers. She recently co-authored an article in The Physics Teacher titled, “Course Modifications to Support Student Mental Health and Move Towards Universal Design for Learning.”
