===Keynote Title===
Humanizing Online Teaching: Leveraging Relationships to Fuel Engagement & Rigor
===Description===
To navigate through these unknown and traumatic times, educators must be knowledgeable about how learning happens (and why it often does not). Recognizing the role of emotions in learning illuminates the critical need to foster connection with students at a distance. This presentation will explore techniques to get to know the rich stories of your students, ensure they feel seen and valued, and foster positive relationships asynchronously. Humanized online teaching employs push and care to foster rigor through empathy and ensures all students have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
