Event Information

Communicating Student Potential and Promoting a Sense of Belonging in your Syllabus

Presenter(s):
Lisa Dysleski, Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Programs (College of Natural Sciences)
Description:
Research indicates that students’ classroom experiences and academic outcomes improve when they feel that the instructor believes they are capable of learning new things. Students who feel supported and connected to a community of learners are more likely to stay academically engaged and utilize resources provided to them by the institution. In this session, we will focus on the course syllabus, a powerful tool that every faculty member has to communicate with students, and how small changes in wording can ensure that messages, policies, and practices demonstrate the faculty member’s constructive beliefs about students’ abilities.

This Session aligns with the Teaching Effectiveness Framework: Student Motivation & Classroom Climate
