Procedure
Student Outreach Toolkit?
Instructors have access to a folder titled Student Outreach Toolkit that appears at the end of their Course Content page and is only visible to them in all their courses.
Developed by the Provost’s Office, Counseling Center, in conjunction with Advising, FTLC, and other faculty and staff, the Student Outreach Toolkit folder contains a collection of communication suggestions from faculty to students and was inspired by focus groups and interviews conducted with instructors of first-year courses.
This folder contains sample starting points for a variety of styles and incidents. These templates are not required, but provide suggestions for faculty looking for ideas when responding to students. You will find placeholders for student, professor, and class names and office hours that can be customized to fit your course.
