Faculty PDD | Strengthening Classroom Communities

Breakfast: 8:30AM

Session: 9:00AM - 11:50AM

If you have noticed a shift in your classroom climate in recent years, you are not alone. Factors such as the post-pandemic transition, the rise of Generative AI, and the constant pull of screens have taken a toll on learning communities.

This workshop introduces evidence-based strategies designed to restore academic integrity, boost student participation, and sharpen critical thinking. We will explore practical tools including community agreements and digital policies to help navigate these challenges.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Establish community agreements that foster a sense of belonging and accountability.
  • Create device policies that minimize distractions and promote active engagement.
  • Leverage Generative AI guidelines that support learning while maintaining academic integrity.
