Session: Session 4
Room: Room 107
Presentation Type:Oral Presentation
In social work, education and other humanity-focused disciplines, the practice of inviting community members, particularly those from underrepresented groups, into classes can bring societal issues to life and support students to develop better understanding of and appreciation for diverse lived experiences and related insights. Through meaningful exchange with community guest speakers, students are introduced to diverse viewpoints, and have opportunities to examine their personal and professional values and attitudes and develop practical knowledge and skills to lead practice and change in society. Drawing on our experiences as educators and administrative leaders, we discuss the key principles in engaging diverse community members in teaching and learning, including pedagogical intent, ethical responsibilities and reciprocity and recognition. We offer practical guidelines for instructors to consider before, during and post guest speaker engagements, and highlight the sensitivity in recognizing guest speakers’ contributions. We intend to invite participants to reflect on their experiences in bringing guest speakers to their classrooms and share their effective strategies throughout the presentation.
