By promoting belonging, instructors can\u00a0 ensure students feel respected and connected, and able to bring their authentic selves into the classroom. While this may sound appealing, how exactly do instructors foster belonging in their courses?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We invite instructors of all ranks and disciplines to join <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/faculty-excellence\/current-development-programs\/community-of-practice-on-belonging\/?\">OFE\u2019s Community of Practice on Belonging<\/a> to develop answer(s) to this question. CoPs bring together faculty who are interested in a particular topic and who wish to explore it further together, ultimately developing a shared set of resources, tools, and knowledge. This fall, the CoP on Belonging will focus on exploring strategies and developing an intervention. In Spring 2024, CoP members will implement their intervention(s) and share their ideas and experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Register for our <a href=\"https:\/\/montclair-faculty-excellence.libcal.com\/event\/11339778\">kickoff event<\/a> on Friday, October 6. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interested but can\u2019t make this session?
