| Pedagogies of CARE | Apr. 21 2026, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM | CTL | CTL | Zoom | ||
Details for Pedagogies of CARE When students report the experience of belonging within a learning environment, their academic performance, self-confidence, and motivation are positively impacted (Duran et al., 2020; Moeller et al., 2020; Jorgenson et al., 2018). Yet the reverse holds true as well: Student perceptions of non-belonging contribute to educational gaps and reduced retention rates among underrepresented populations.?How can instructors foster students' sense of belonging within their courses, particularly in online learning environments where contextual cues can be difficult to read?? In this webinar, we explore the research on creating inclusive, equitable, and welcoming learning environments, drawing upon the CARE framework (community, agency, representation, and equal access) as outlined by the Online Learning Consortium.?Specifically, attendees will: Reflect?on features that make learning environments inclusive, equitable, and?welcoming. Identify?teaching strategies for creating inclusive, equitable, and welcoming learning environments. Discuss ways of designing learning activities based on the CARE framework for both online and face-to-face learning environments. | ||||||
