Playing to Your Strengths

Abstract

In this workshop, adapted from our SIGCSE 2018 workshop [1], we as a group will use Appreciative Inquiry [2] (AI) techniques to explore and develop our strengths as computer science educators. Participants will gain appreciation for their strengths as an educator, with concrete plans for building on these strengths. They will also learn about Appreciative Inquiry as a qualitative research methodology that is complementary to more common computer science research methodologies, and that they can apply to evaluate and improve their own educational practice.
