ELI Asia virtual: Experiential Learning Teaching Method

Updated: 2022-04-13

March 13th- April 1st, 2022

A program co-taught by faculties from Harvard University, Stanford University, Cornell University, and Babson College



The best teachers are leaders, and the best leaders are teachers. The teachers, same as leaders, can lift people up and let people down. As teachers, we often focus more on our inadequacies and missteps than on our strengths and unique talents. The program’s goal is to help participants learn about the intricacies of teaching and managing and to impart lessons about how teachers can create a unique teaching atmosphere. The program will analyze the process of creating a curriculum, preparing for a session or class, managing the time before class begins, and evaluating the nature of the teaching experience after the session concludes. Along the way, we will connect specific classroom behaviors with leadership issues—in organizations, in teams, and personal relationships. What happens on multiple levels when we teach or lead ourselves or students? What are we thinking and feeling as we process what students are thinking and feeling? How are our internal thoughts affecting how we teach and lead? How do we manage our biases, including having "favorite" students? To what extent can we use teaching methods in the arena of management?
