AD107 - Connecting with Today's Students

Facilitators: Dr. Jean Norris and Shannon Gormley

Success in helping students begins with "connecting" in a meaningful way. These "connections" are formed through our ability to understand generational experiences and preferences in communication. Additionally, a better understanding of ourselves helps us connect with students. This course explores how to work better together through common collaborative principles and improving teamwork.
