Wellness in the Classroom

Positive well-being is an important predictor of learning and student success. Research indicates a strong connection between student wellbeing, deep learning, and impactful teaching practices. By making small adjustments to teaching practices and course structure, faculty can have an enormous impact on students’ wellness and ability to learn, even inside the classroom. The Classroom Wellness Online Toolkit is a menu of strategies and resources, to help faculty incorporate elements of wellbeing into their pedagogy. Wellness in the Classroom offers additional resources, technical assistance, and a Faculty Learning Community through the Center for Teaching and Learning.
