Have you ever asked students to read a text, participate in a group discussion or put their phones away during class. Sometimes it occurred to me that rather than awareness or knowledge of my audience it was very like knowing you’re enemy. I was able to build trust and confidence in my classes and by doing so able to persuade them to engage in tasks they may have otherwise avoided. By building trust I was able to influence them and use the same skills I was coaching in them; critical thinking, confidence building and giving and receiving feedback. The students at UCD were culturally and developmentally diverse, and many from non-English speaking backgrounds. Each lesson is a narrative with characters, conflicts and resolutions, just as any fundraiser email or campaign advertisement is a narrative, but instead of a donation, or influence, or a call to action, these narratives were about concepts, theories and methods. Because I was able to communicate these stories I was nominated for a UCD Teaching and Learning award. I was nominated for a 2021/22 UCD Teaching and Learning award.• Prepared and delivered engaging classes on Sustainable Development Policy, Social Development Goals, political theory and climate change at UCD.• Nominated for a UCD Teaching and Learning award for creating a trusting and influential learning environment.• Marked assignments, assisted students with time management, and prepared classes on development metrics and policy brief writing.
