Event Details
Our identity as educators is shaped over time through the choices we make, the relationships we build, and the way students experience our teaching. In this presentation, I will reflect on how open education and engaging students as partners has changed my work in biology and biochemistry. I will share examples of students creating open resources, designing authentic learning materials, and contributing to projects that reach beyond the classroom. These experiences have deepened student learning, strengthened belonging, and shifted students from being consumers of knowledge to active contributors.
I will also explore the idea of teacher reputation. What do students say about us when we are not in the room? What values become associated with our teaching? I argue that a strong educator reputation is not built through popularity alone. It grows from consistency, academic rigour, care, openness, responsiveness, and a genuine willingness to share ownership of learning with students.
