Presenter(s): Vicki Lens (Social Work)

Whether a seasoned teacher or a new one, the first day of class brings both challenges and opportunities, and where first impressions can last well beyond the moment. This session will offer tools and techniques for creating a positive and inclusive environment for learning. Common “first day” questions and challenges, such as how to introduce yourself, how to talk about the syllabus in ways that engage students, and how to set the stage for lively and inclusive conversations through-out the semester will be among the topics discussed. We also ask that you bring your own first-day questions and strategies.
