The Resources Revisited series highlights existing resources available to the SLU community that may be especially timely or useful at certain points in the academic year.
This is Part 2 in our Resource Revested Series focused on SLU’s Teaching Effectiveness Framework. In this post, we will focus on mission-aligned practices to support student growth and fostering belonging. As you reflect on how your teaching is already mission-aligned, and how you might further strengthen that focus, explore the following curated resources, organized by the essential practices within this dimension.
As always, we invite you to explore our full catalogue of resources on the Reinert Center website. We’d also be happy to meet with you to discuss how you are situating the Teaching Effectiveness Framework in your own teaching by requesting a teaching consultation in person or via Zoom.
