All In: Living Our Values in the OB Classroom

KEYWORDS: Collaboration, Empowerment, Pedagogy, Values

As OB instructors, most of us want a classroom where everyone is “all in”, where students take responsibility for what happens in class and take an interest in each other’s learning. We want an active learning environment where students get to practice the lessons from our field, succeeding and failing, growing as they build competence and putting new knowledge to work in real time. But how do we need to hold “the classroom” if we are to create the container for this to be our reality? In this session, together, we will get in touch with the values of our field and rethink our role as teacher in the OB classroom, re-imagining the possibilities. We will also grapple with the notion that we are not just teaching content and skills but are immersing our students in OB values.
