Start working with active student participation

In this film, Alexis Engström explains that students and faculty can all have different motivations for why they work with active student participation, and that it is important to be open to these different motivations. Alison Cook-Sather, professor in education at Bryn Mawr College in the USA, thinks that it is important for teachers to give students an open invitation that shows the teacher is open for new ways of working together. For student, Caroline Bodin, support from teachers and the department important when students from her program started a mentorship program. She says also that often there are resources and people willing to help if you just look around you. Pedagogical consultant, Lisa Persson, points out that it is important to not simply explain your idea, but also to show in practice what it is you are trying to accomplish.
