Pedagogical Wellness Faculty Learning Community

Join the Pedagogical Wellness Faculty Learning Community Today!

Pedagogical Wellness is an approach that integrates evidence-based teaching and wellness practices into educational environments to ensure both student and faculty wellness in the classroom and beyond. The Pedagogical Wellness Faculty Learning Community (FLC) will aid in reflecting on your own wellness and the wellness of your students. This FLC will also provide strategies for creating syllabi and assignments that integrate wellness, as well as creating a safe and welcoming teaching and learning environment. You can earn the Pedagogical Wellness Badge by attending all synchronous meetings, submitting modular assignments related to optimizing your course materials and interactions with students, and showcasing your reflections and action plan for incorporating pedagogical wellness into your teaching and programs.
