Dr. Caroline Kisiel is an Assistant Professor in DePaul University’s School for New Learning (snl.depaul.edu) where she works with both undergraduate and graduate adult learners returning to school to seek or finish degrees.

She has twenty-three years of experience as an InterPlayer and twenty years of experience teaching adults in higher education. Caroline has used approaches from the InterPlay practice and system in a variety of classroom settings, which she has found relevant for twenty-first century learners, particularly adults returning to school and students in formal degree programs.

This presentation is for educators who work with students in any discipline. Today’s adult and young adult students show up in our classrooms with life and work anxieties, challenging experiences with grading and authority, and often find that academic expectations translate into judgment and issues of self worth and identity. While most students in formal classroom settings have been taught head and brain-centered ways of learning and how to “focus” on information, using the InterPlay practice Caroline teaches a whole body approach to learning, the value of releasing the excess or unneeded through “exformation,” and how “easy focus” learning can be just as valuable as focused learning. By including the wisdom of the body in the classroom it is possible to create ease-filled, successful learning experiences and more collaborative learning communities.

In addition to the video recording, participants will receive a list of resources Dr. Kisiel has found useful.
