Checking In with Students
Checking in with students throughout the semester can help promote a sense of community and belonging for the student. This can be done via an email to the whole class or individually, depending on your class or group size.
Recognize Signs of Distress
Faculty and instructors naturally want to create an environment where students flourish intellectually and personally. This includes being able to recognize when a student might be in distress and know the steps to take to connect them to support.
Syllabus Consultation
Laura Frawley shares her syllabus with S3 before the start of the semester to talk through its tone and policies. For example, how welcoming is the opening to your syllabus? What are your policies for when students have expected absences, like athletic events or interviews?
Student Advisory Groups
Course 6 has advisory boards (SAGE for graduate students and USAGE for undergraduate students) to create a helpful dialogue with departmental representatives.
Departmental Office Hours
Academic Departments have hosted in-person and virtual office hours for students.
