The ABCs of Motivating Learners: Belonging (In-person at TPSS)
What helps students feel like they matter, belong, and are seen in your classroom? This second session in our First Faculty Fridays series about motivation focuses on Belonging—a foundational human need and a powerful factor in learning. When students feel a sense of connection to their instructors, peers, and learning environment, they are more likely to succeed academically and have a higher sense of well-being (Ryan & Deci, 2000; Kessel et al., 2025).
We’ll examine the power of belonging in our classrooms and discuss seven inclusive strategies to foster community, connection, and psychological safety. You’ll be invited to share and reflect on your own classroom strategies for creating a sense of inclusion and belonging.
Note that you do not need to have attended previous workshops in the series in order to participate in this one.
