Vecellio, S. (2021, October 8). The appreciative close: A strategy for creating a classroom community. Faculty Focus.
The classroom of students who view themselves as a mutually-supportive community engaged in a shared endeavor learns better than the classful of students who don't feel connected to one another in this way. Shawn Vecellio suggests a way to remind the class of the contributions that individual students have made to help one another’s learning, thereby creating a more inclusive and welcoming setting for students and for learning.

Diversity and inclusion play an important role in promoting student learning. Today’s college students are increasingly diverse compared to prior generations. Traditional teaching strategies have also been shown to lead to lower academic achievement for underserved students compared to majority students even when differences in GPA and other factors are controlled for. By considering the diversity of the classroom and implementing equitable teaching strategies, instructors can increase student learning and sense of belonging for all students, not just those who are underserved. In this webinar, participants will learn how to leverage student diversity and incorporate inclusive teaching strategies in their classrooms. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.

This webinar will provide an overview of the course review process, course dossier requirements, and the rubric that will be used to review the course dossiers. It will also address the option for preparing a simplified course dossier based on using a Mile Marker assignment. Examples from existing course dossiers will be incorporated into the webinar.
