Support, Don't Smother: How to Stay in Touch With Students During Trying Times
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2021 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
When a student quits communicating with you, there are often 2 ways things can go: 1) the student never responds to additional outreach, or 2) the student responds, but drops off again soon after. In current times, it is more important than ever to stay in contact with students, or better yet, to empower them to stay in contact with you. In this session, learn 10 ways you can encourage your students to keep in touch and be successful (even in ways you haven’t thought of before).
