  • Ready-to-Go Workshop for Fostering a Sense of Belonging in the Classroom. 

We hope that facilitators at ACS institutions will continue to develop topics, activities, and resources to add to this.  Our focus was on students in the classroom.  Still we discussed the importance of students in majors, the institution itself, and the faculty and staff at the institution.  Moreover, our list of practical activities can be complemented. We also could extend the topics covered, for example, to develop more on the sense of belonging within the institution. Finally, the proposal of assessment tools for instructors could be extended to include more quantitative options. Our proposal is only the beginning for what could be used as a starting point for future development.
