Learn about different methods for cultivating a positive learning environment in the classroom, including things like classroom agreements, ice breakers, how to talk about difficult subjects, and strategies for forming groups and building teams.

Please choose either in-person or online registration. If you change your mind and need to switch, that's fine! Just attend in the way that works best for you.

This workshop is part of the Quick Start Guide for Instructors Series...

Get your semester started on the right foot by participating in one or more of our Quick Start Guide workshops! These 45-minute sessions are designed as quick introductions to each topic with ideas shared by CETL faculty and opportunities for active learning. Let us help with your course prep for the semester. Workshops are offered in hybrid format: get up and stretch if you want to join us in person, or you don’t even need to leave your desk! You can choose to attend as many or as few of the individual 45-minute workshops as you like, or, join us for a Crash Course on Friday morning and do it all at once! See also:
