A Pedagogy of Kindness invites educators to center empathy, respect, and care in every aspect of their practice—from course design to assessment. Blending research, reflection, and real-world examples, this book shows how kindness isn’t a soft alternative to rigor, but a powerful foundation for meaningful learning and inclusive classrooms. Inspire your teaching—and your students—with the transformative power of kindness.

Facilitated by Christine Martorana, Associate Teaching Professor, Department of English & Writing Across the Curriculum
