Dr. Laura I. Rendón is a Professor Emerita at the University of Texas-San Antonio, author, nationally recognized student advocate, scholar, and contemplative educator. She will share her knowledge related to contemporary pedagogies that can foster inclusion, equity, justice, and well-being in the classroom. Dr. Rendon will explain the tenets of operating with Sentipensante (Sensing/Thinking) Pedagogy to address the rhythmic balance between intellectual, social, emotional, and inner-life skill development. This is an interactive and engaging workshop that will feature videos of faculty who foster deep learning employing illuminative knowledge tools (i.e., socially driven art and photography, guided imagery, audio narratives, music, and periods of reflection) within instructional settings.
