In Spring 2024, the CTL piloted a Student Partner program. The program creates partnerships between undergraduate students and members of the faculty to enrich courses at Boise State. Below we share some of the insights that our student partners provided faculty – and us – this spring.<\/p>\n

Start your class off right<\/h2>\n

The first five minutes of each class are an important time to build community and start class with the needed learning mindset. Need some ideas for how to do that? Check out this Chronicle article<\/a> for four ways to shift students\u2019 attention from life\u2019s distractions to your course content at the beginning of class.<\/p>\n

Set clear expectations<\/h2>\n

The practice of setting clear and transparent expectations<\/a> supports positive class dynamics and student success. State your expectations for yourself and students early and regularly throughout the course. Being transparent will give all students the opportunity to do and be well in your class.<\/p>\n

Build connections<\/h2>\n

Creating relationships with peers, faculty, and staff are the best predictor of satisfaction among college students.<\/a> Not only do these relationships contribute to students\u2019 sense of belonging,<\/p>\n

having more relationships on campus will also help them find support resources more easily, and build an important career competency. Review these tips<\/a> for how to build a relationship-rich classroom.<\/p>\n

Communicate resources and support<\/h2>\n

There are many support resources available to help students become a successful learner and thriving individual. However, not all students may know what is available to them, understand that these resources are for all students, or feel shame for needing help. Normalize and advertise university student resources<\/a> and communicate them regularly. You might choose to focus on certain resources week by week, highlighting them in a Canvas announcement or during the first five minutes of class.<\/p>\n

Review your syllabus<\/h2>\n

The syllabus is often your first point of communication with your students, but have you ever analyzed your syllabus to know if it contributes to your students’ success in your course? You can enhance student success by making your syllabus more learner-focused. Find out how by checking out this CTL blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n

The CTL Student Partner program is set to continue this Fall. If you have questions about the program or are interested in joining as a Faculty Partner, please contact Daniel Sanford (danielsanford@boisestate.edu).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
