437. Increasing Student Engagement: Sharing Values and Walking the Talk

On this episode of Teach Me Something Tuesday on the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, Dr. F Scott Feil discusses the importance of sharing what matters to you and backing it up with action. He emphasizes the value of incorporating personal values into teaching and demonstrating them through course material and assignments. By practicing what you preach, students are more likely to engage with and adopt these values themselves.Key Takeaways:- Incorporate personal values into teaching philosophy, syllabus, and course assignments.- Back up values with course material and discussion topics to demonstrate commitment.- Leading by example shows students that you practice what you preach.Dr F Scott Feil is a husband, a father, a physical therapist, a professor, and most recently an Amazon best-selling author. F Scott is also a business coach and mentor despite starting his journey as an English major before landing as a Physical Therapist. He is one of the creators and co-hosts of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast which aims to break down the silos between healthcare professions in an attempt to find best practices in teaching and learning throughout healthcare academia. He also hosts the Professors of Profit Podcast where he interviews healthcare professionals about their side gigs and side hustles. His goal is to help at least 222 professors (one from every PT School at the time of publication of his book) and clinicians pay off their student loans quicker and/or more efficiently by using multiple revenue streams. If he helps some others with terminal degrees or other healthcare clinicians along the way, then it’s a bonus! He is also the owner of PTEducator.com , FGI Consulting, and Epic Therapy and Wellness. His areas of interest are in the realms of Geriatrics, Service Based Learning, and Business.Special thanks to both our sponsors, The NPTE Final Frontier, and Varela Financial! If you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit the NPTE FInal Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website...and BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Varela Financial will help you get over that hurdle. They not only take the time to explain to you which plans you individually qualify for and how those plans work, but they ALSO take the time to show you what YOUR individual case looks like mapped out within each option.
