Adaptive pedagogy: Transformative Teaching and Learning During CovidDr. Val Margarit
We live in a continuous adaptation mode. Adaptive pedagogy requires an open mind and heart to understanding our environments and to validating each student and their stories as we all adapt each day to the unexpected.
The school year can be hard on anyone. Academic stress can build upon self-esteem issues, your family, friends and even yourself. When not taken care of, your performance suffers, your morale suffers, and life just suffers. Instead of being on the brink of a constant freak out, grab life by the horns and get to relaxing. It may be easier than you think.

Spending.
3. Set Yourself Up for Success
Give ample time to complete studying and
work. It’s better to finish early than cramp
in the end.
Don’t wait until the last second to start
reviewing.
Reduce or eliminate distractions.
Keep the big picture in mind. Little facts
will be easier to remember if they fit into
a bigger idea.
Be an active learner. Think about how
you’re learning.
4. Getting the Most Out of Studying
Just having the intention to learn doesn’t
correlate with learning. The way you think
about the material is more important than
the time you spend studying.
Engaging the material (deep processing),
rather than just trying to memorize it
(shallow processing), will lead to better
retention of knowledge.
5. Deep Processing
Elaboration: Relating a topic to other
concepts.
Distinctiveness: Separating a topic from
similar concepts.
Personal Connection: Connecting a topic
to a personal experience.
Retrieval & Application: Practicing using
knowledge in the way you’re going to
have to use it.
6. Helpful Hints
Set a goal and come prepared when
studying as a group.
Create a concept map of how concepts are
related.
Stay engaged!!
Hand write your notes.
Highlight “smart.”
Teach others what you’re learning.
7. Recovering after a Setback
DON’T
Panic
Go into denial
DO
Be honest with yourself
Examine how your prepared
Review the exam
Talk with your professor
Examine your study habits and make the
appropriate changes
8. Don’t be the student who…
Keeps studying the same way, hoping to
improve.
Waits until the end of the quarter to ask
for help.
Skips class to focus on other classes.
Falls further behind waiting to find time to
catch up.
Crams at the last minute.
Doesn’t do assignments because they are
small or late.

quarter and beyond? Try the Academic

10. Personal Wellness
We are most productive and
happy when all the aspects of our
lives are in balance. Your
academic load will seem easier if
you can maintain good health, a
sense of purpose, and a clear
mind.
11. Body
Your brain is part of your body, so it makes sense
that if you take care of your body, your brain will
function better.
Getting regular exercise is not only a good
distraction from studying, it will help your mind be
quicker and recall information better.
A good diet helps to fuel your brain. Eating right
will make you more energetic, more focused, and
happier.
Having a good night’s sleep shouldn’t be
undervalued. Your mind uses the time you sleep to
encode the things you learned that day. A few
extra hours of sleep can actually be more helpful
than staying up studying.
12. Spirit
Spirituality means a lot of different things to
different people, but don’t underestimate its
importance in maintaining wellbeing.
Spirituality can mean a connection to a religious
group. There are many organizations such as the
Campus Christian Fellowship, the Buddhism Club,
and the Muslim Students’ Association that are open
to Western students.
Spirituality can mean a connection to nature. The
Arboretum and the area surrounding Bellingham
are great places to reconnect with the
environment.
Spirituality can mean a feeling that your work is
purposeful. Thinking deeply about your daily
actions and behaviors can help rediscover your
purpose.
13. Mind
Our brains house both the mechanisms of learning
and our emotional centers, and these two functions
are closely intertwined.
Stress can be extremely detrimental when trying
to learn. Take a deep breath, take a break, and
remember that whatever test you’re studying for
will not define your academic career.
Again, getting enough sleep is essential for a
healthy mind.
Doing things that aren’t academic (playing games,
hanging out with friends, or reading a book for
pleasure) is important to avoid burnout.
