This session is designed especially for instructors of foundational (100- and 200-level) undergraduate courses. In preparation for the coming academic year, join us for an interactive program that addresses:
- Taking an asset-based approach in working with our newest students
- Connecting students to appropriate student support resources
- Rejuvenating your syllabus to better promote inclusivity and a sense of belonging for their students. Specifically, participants will learn strategies for promoting feelings of student belonging and provide peer-to-peer feedback on their written syllabi.
This session is part of the Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center Strong Start Initiative focused on the success of first-year students at GVSU. Session facilitators will be Dr. Jessica Jennrich, Office of Student Support and Belonging, Dr. Maggie Goss, Pew FTLC and Dr. Christine Rener, Pew FTLC.
Please bring a laptop or tablet, if possible, and either electronic or paper copies of a syllabus that you would like to workshop during the session. The 4 – 5 p.m. portion of the workshop is optional and reserved for one-one-one consultations.
