What’s in the suitcase: rummaging for great ideas to get your classes off to a good start

About this session

Connecting with your students to build engagement and a sense of belonging begins before Week 1 of the semester. Having a planned process from ‘thinking’ about Week 1 to the actual ‘doing’ will benefit everyone.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to share different techniques, strategies and simple tools that teachers are using at UQ to build an engaged community of learners.
