Post-Covid Strategies for Academic Success

Our proposed webinars and professional training sessions and resources align to national effort to transform the college student experience and create equitable learning environments through innovative, evidence-based practices that increase degree attainment. Research shows that when students experience a sense of belonging, support on campus and in the classroom, and engaged in te learning process, they’re more likely to persist through academic challenges and earn their degrees. 

SUBR Fall Workshop Series: The Inclusive Syllabus

As Academic Affairs is ready to implement the Concourse Syllabus Management Sustem as part of our instructional tools, we found it very timely to host a workshop on Inclusive Syllabus. 
When students read your syllabus, they are not just wondering, “Which textbook should I buy?” and “When is the midterm?” They are also wondering, “Can I succeed in this course?” and “Do I belong in this field?” The messages students receive early on can shape their perceived answers to these questions, and impact the way they experience your course throughout the term.

First Day Toolkit

Improving the messages and signals students receive on the first day of class to foster growth mindset, belonging, and equity in student experience .
The First Day Toolkit is a suite of free resources designed to help institutions engage instructors in revising their syllabi and other messages that students receive on the first day of class to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment. By fostering a positive student experience in the classroom, institutions can increase a student’s likelihood of persevering through academic challenges to graduation.

STEM Faculty

An important goal of the scientific community is broadening the achievement and participation of racial minorities in STEM fields. Yet, professors’ beliefs about the fixedness of ability may be an unwitting and overlooked barrier for stigmatized students.
