Keynote: Fostering Social and Emotional Connections to Help Students Engage and Learn
Research shows that connectedness predicts academic achievement; we can promote equitable and inclusive student success by facilitating social and emotional connections in all modalities and disciplines. This keynote will delve into our sociality as learners and look to emotion science to identify practical strategies that improve students’ motivation, focus, memory and overall learning.
Interactive Workshop: Feeling Part of the Group—The Importance of Belonging for Student and Faculty Success
This interactive workshop will feature breakout groups and build on themes from the keynote. We will explore how feeling like we are part of the group boosts learning and promotes holistic success for students and faculty alike.
