What do you do to establish a sense of “belonging” and community in your classroom?
Jeremy Tiermini & Richard Van Dyke
As part of FLCC’s commitment to re-imagine an integrated FYE program, let’s talk about what we can do during the first week of classes to foster a sense of belonging for our students. What techniques do you use both in and out of the classroom? The conversation will then focus on how to sustain that sense of belonging for the duration of a student’s first year at FLCC.
