Additional resources are being added regularly from across campus and beyond as we plan for both in-person and online components to instruction.
The Faculty and Student Success Quick Tip series is inspired by an ethic of care – for faculty and for students. The purpose of the Quick Tips is to share strategies that faculty can easily, and with minimal time, integrate into their teaching practices to support student learning and success. If these recommendations do not fit with your style of teaching, perhaps they will inspire a strategy that does.
Please share your thoughts about the Quick Tips so we focus our efforts on work that will be useful to you.
Quick Tip #1: Caring is Vital to Learning
Quick Tip #2: Compassion is Vital for Diminishing Burnout
Quick Tip #3: Build student attention with understanding
In addition to referring students to CAPS directly, MSU offers resources for helping a student you have concerns about. This playlist has been developed to make finding those resources easy.
