Abstract
The PEACE Approach in Teaching: Passion, Enthusiasm, Approachability, Curiosity, Empathy and Caring
To answer the question “Why are we teaching?”, we first need to ask ourselves “What kind of people do we want our students to be? Is achieving academic excellence enough for them? How can we help them succeed in their future endeavors, whatever they may choose?” To me, apart from transferring knowledge to students, teaching is first and foremost a service. As a teacher, I strive to be an educator, compassionate leader, and partner to my students. In this talk, I will share my reflections and takeaways in engaging and connecting with students, and to help them explore their potentials.
