LIS Pedagogy Chat -Library Instruction with “Nontraditional” Students

Today (25 August 2023) at 14.00 US Eastern time (which is 19.00 UK time) there is the first online LIS Pedagogy Chat of the new academic year. Library Instruction with “Nontraditional” Students, led by Amy Spitz (College of Southern Maryland, USA) and Grace Therrell (University of Tennessee, USA)
"Students pursuing higher education have a wide range of skills, knowledge, and lived experiences. In this session, Amy and Grace will facilitate discussion on how we can best work with what are often called “nontraditional” students. “Nontraditional” students include adult students who are outside of the typical 18-24 age range coming straight from high school, but this term also can refer to students who have caregiver responsibilities, first-generation students, or returning students. We’ll unpack (and problematize) this term, talk about our instruction experiences, and explore how we can best meet the learning needs of students who bring a variety of lived experiences, knowledge, and preferences."
