Enhancing the Learning Environment

Creating a supportive and engaging learning environment is essential for fostering student success and well-being. At the Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL), we offer resources to help educators address key aspects of the learning experience, including attendance policies, fostering compassion and self-compassion, motivating learners, and making teaching and learning visible. Additionally, we provide tools like the Student Support Toolkit and strategies for incorporating sustainability into your teaching. These resources are designed to help you cultivate an inclusive, effective, and resilient educational environment.
You can find all of these resources conveniently organized in the menu—on the right side if you're using a computer, and below if you're on a mobile device.
