Trust Moves in the Classroom with Peter Felten, Rachel Forsyth, and Kath Sutherland

How can instructors build trust, community, and a sense of belonging with their students to ultimately improve student learning? In today’s episode, we tackle this question with Peter Felten (https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/about-cel/center-staff/peter-felten/), Rachel Forsyth (https://portal.research.lu.se/en/persons/rachel-forsyth), and Kath Sutherland (https://people.wgtn.ac.nz/kathryn.sutherland), authors of the two recent articles, “Building Trust in the Classroom: A Conceptual Model for Teachers, Scholars, and Academic Developers in Higher Education (https://journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/TLI/article/view/77047)” and “Expressions of Trust: How University STEM Teachers Describe the Role of Trust in their Teaching (https://journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/TLI/article/view/78560).” Drs. Felton, Forsyth, and Sutherland share ways that teachers can consciously build trust with their students—a previously under-explored topic—through what they call “trust moves.”
