CELT Teaching Briefs

CELT Teaching Briefs

In keeping with the CELT’s mission of “partnering with educators to advance student-centered learning at Iowa State University (ISU),” the collection focuses on practical advice, solutions, and implementations, exploring the topic of student-learning from a broad array of academic disciplines and perspectives. 

2022 CELT Teaching Briefs

As educators, we recognize that teaching strategies that promote a sense of belonging are critical to student well-being, learning, and academic success. Therefore, we chose the common theme of the 2022 CELT Teaching Briefs: “Fostering Student Sense of Belonging in the Classroom: Creative Practices from Iowa State University Instructors,”

The contributors shared instructional strategies to create a sense of belonging and support student motivation, engagement, and success. These strategies may be used effectively at all times, but the ongoing pandemic made it abundantly clear that to navigate a rigorous curriculum, students must feel supported, motivated, and included in their online, in-person, and multi-modality classrooms and the Annual Inclusive Classroom Training (AY21-22).
