Description
Today’s college students are tasked with navigating different instructor pedagogies, course sizes and dynamics, and even modes of instruction - sometimes balancing a mix of asynchronous, synchronous and in-person instruction all within a term. Portions of the first day of class are typically used as times to set expectations and convey course policies and practices. How can we maximize this time and start to build relationships with our students in virtual and in-person settings that promote student well-being? During this session you’ll learn about types of messaging instructors can share during the first day of class, and will have a chance to brainstorm and reflect on best practices for setting the tone of a course during unpredictable terms.
