Description
An extension of our annual Strong Start Teaching Institute, this continuing Winter series is meant to carry on conversations around small teaching practices for faculty to support our first and second-year students. These in-person workshops will be offered at both the Allendale and downtown campuses by the Pew FTLC Assistant Director, Dr. Maggie Goss. While these workshops stem from the Strong Start Teaching Institute (focused on engaging students in first- and second-year undergraduate courses), faculty teaching all levels of undergraduate students will benefit from these discussions, and participants need not have attended Strong Start.

As a required instrument for documenting key policies and procedures, a course syllabus is essential in creating a strong framework to help instructors summarize course information, outline the course curriculum, and communicate expectations for students. However, this content often focuses on the instructor’s own agenda, rather than student engagement. In this workshop participants will revise their syllabus, with the help of GVSU undergraduate students, to better promote inclusivity and a sense of belonging for their students. Specifically, participants will learn strategies for promoting feelings of student belonging and receive feedback from students, as well as provide peer-to-peer feedback on their written syllabi. Register to attend the workshop on Tuesday, March 25, or Thursday, March 27.
