At this workshop we will discuss effective strategies for creating a sense of belonging in the classroom. Many students come into our classrooms with numerous obstacles to doing well in our courses. Very quickly they feel they do not belong in the class and begin to tune out. At this workshop, participants will discuss effective methods to connect with these students and build their confidence. Participants will also explore ways to improve already implemented strategies. The conveners will describe methods that they have learned, and all participants will be invited to share methods that have worked and/or approaches that are in need of refinement.
