How Can I Intentionally Create a Course that Boosts Learning and Decreases Student Stress?
Teachers can unintentionally impact their students’ ability to learn or even graduate, just in the way their courses are designed. But small changes to course design can make a big difference to students struggling with stress and other mental health concerns, and also improve learning and retention.
This 20-Minute Mentor highlights how faculty can craft courses that simultaneously decrease student stress (especially for those with high anxiety) and boost learning for all our students. Several concrete examples will help faculty realize that with evidence-backed course design approaches, they can boost learning and improve wellness for all their students.
