“Beyond Audience Adaptation: Teaching Students to Speak with Confidence and Integrity”

Hosted by Pat Gehrke

Student anxiety skyrockets when they're told to adapt to audiences they don't understand, and AI-generated speeches multiply when students feel their own voices aren't valued. This webinar offers a practical alternative grounded in strengths-based pedagogy and standpoint theory. Attendees will learn concrete strategies to help students speak from their own experiences and expertise rather than performing for an imagined "ideal" audience. Participants will leave with classroom-ready tools including assignment prompts, worksheets, and rubrics that make AI shortcuts unnecessary because students are invested in their own messages and speaking from their own standpoints.
