The TLT is excited to announce our TLTCon keynote speaker for the 2021 conference: Sarah Rose Cavanagh.

Sarah Rose Cavanagh’s research “considers the contribution of emotions and emotion regulation to quality of life.” This theme and the science of emotional intelligence has the potential to inspire our various schools to think and reflect on the impact of COVID-19; how we work together; how we support fellow colleagues and students; and how we communicate. In addition to sharing and exploring new tech tools, TLTCon will expand our offering to include tools of emotional survival in a time where email is an emergency and instruction is disembodied. In addition to sharing new teaching tools and tips, we are offering this conference as an opportunity to help regain balance and find our footing through imagination and a return to physical and mental presence. 

The TLT’s Mike Overholt recently had the chance to speak with Dr. Cavanagh about the science of emotion, its measurability, and the potential a robust understanding of emotional engagement has as a pedagogical tool in the classroom.
