Classroom Culture

The first day of class is an introduction to the course content and sets the tone for the semester. How can we facilitate a welcoming and inclusive learning environment? ​How do we foster a sense of community within the class? What are some ways we can help students to feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions? The learning environment you create impacts how your students interact with each other and engage with the course material. This informal gathering of instructors is an opportunity to share and discuss various approaches and techniques to create classroom culture.
