Build your teaching toolkit to foster student well-being! Research shows that an instructor’s teaching practices can impact the mental health and well-being of their students, which in turn influences their ability to learn (Lane et al.., 2018; Lee et al., 2018). In this online webinar, you will:
- Learn how academic performance is impacted by student well-being.
- Be introduced to three categories of easy-to-implement teaching practices that foster student well-being: increasing student motivation and confidence, creating a sense of belonging and social inclusion for students, and viewing students holistically (University of British Columbia, 2018). Within each category, examples of specific strategies will be explored.
- Reflect upon supportive teaching practices you already use and identify new practices you would like to work toward incorporating into your teaching.
