Contemplative Pedagogy & the Journey of Becoming | Steven Thurston Oliver | TEDxSalemStateUniversity

We are living in a time when technology is fragmenting our attention and the ability to engage deeply with new and important ideas both in and out of the classroom. Contemplative pedagogy is a tool that can be used to cultivate critical awareness, clarity, and presence, and enhance our capacity to show up for ourselves and others. Steven Thurston Oliver is an associate professor of secondary and higher education at Salem State University. Steven is sociologist of education whose research is focused on the ways in which contemplative pedagogy can be used as a catalyst in K-12 teacher preparation and higher education programs for cultivating greater capacity among educators to engage across human differences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
