EDUCATING THE WHOLE STUDENT

April 27, 28 & 29, 2021 | Free Virtual Event

The 2021 HÂþ»­ Conference on University Teaching and Learning is being supported by Centre for Learning and Teaching to enable free attendance for presenters and participants.

Students enter and leave their post-secondary education with a multiplicity of commitments and identities that inform their experiences as learners.

The majority of 21st-century students juggle jobs, family, health, and finances, in addition to coursework and planning for the future. 

Teaching the whole person – encompassing mind, body, heart, and spirit – addresses these competing pressures by affirming students’ and instructors’ humanity.

According to Schoem, Modey and St. John (2017), supporting the whole student through teaching and learning provides a number of benefits by increasing “student commitment to learning because students see themselves as part of an engaged, supportive and caring scholarly community� (p. xii). How do we consider these factors as we educate the whole student at our institutions?

The DCUTL is a great experience for higher education enthusiasts to come together and explore new ideas and ways to educate students!
