4/22 Structuring your course policies & messaging to promote equity, belonging, & growth
Join CAP and the College Transition Collaborative for a webinar series focused on faculty mindset, classroom culture and student experience. Learn psychologically attuned practices, and the research behind them, that will help you shift the culture of your classroom to foster equitable student engagement and achievement.
This 90-minute workshop will focus on the course syllabus as a powerful tool for course planning and development. Conducting a syllabus review provides instructors with a framework for creating a course that promotes equity in students’ experiences and outcomes in its structure and content throughout the term. During this session, instructors will learn about an evidence-based approach to messaging that can help ensure that students’ earliest experiences in their courses promote a sense of belonging and self-efficacy that will support equity, belonging, and growth throughout the term. While this workshop focuses on the course syllabus as a core document that sets expectations for the term, the suggested messaging is applicable to many other venues for communication with students, including: course websites or Learning Management System spaces, emails, lectures or asynchronous videos, and assignment instructions.
