Student well-being is essential for the learning process and personal development of students. It encompasses mental, physical, social, and cognitive well-being and promotes resilience, balance, and contributions to the community.

As a teacher, you can contribute to your students’ well-being in various ways, both at the group level and individually. It starts with creating a safe and inclusive learning environment, using activating teaching methods, and normalising to talk about well-being. Additionally, you can identify and refer issues and share experiences during Teacher Peer-Feedback sessions.

For teachers in higher education, fostering SRL is no longer a supplementary goal but a cornerstone of academic success and career readiness. Recognising this, the TLC-FMG is taking steps to address the gap in SRL skills.  Find out more about TLC-FMG self-regulated learning projects.

In January, March, and May, we will host three interactive sessions each focussing on a different aspect of SRL to deepen the teaching community’s understanding, with an emphasis on practical strategies to guide students in learning how to learn.

Encouraging student engagement is essential in higher education. It can transform simple actions like participating in class or enjoying a course into deep, meaningful commitment. Engagement could be the key to reducing student apathy and facilitating deeper learning. On the flip side, a lack of engagement can lead to negative outcomes for the student, their peers, and you as an educator. But what exactly is student engagement?
