The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Symposium
May 15 @ 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
Refreshments served : 8:30 am
Opening keynote: 9:00 am
This campus-wide symposium on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), showcases researchers from across campus as they share their findings and work-in-progress related to teaching and learning research conducted here at UVM.
The 2025 theme for the SoTL Symposium is Building Trust, highlighted by the keynote to be given by Peter Felten.
Building Community Trust in the Classroom:
Using Research-Based Teaching Practices and Student Feedback to Enable Learning
Trust is important for student learning, motivation, and well-being in higher education. When students trust faculty and their classroom peers, they are more likely to do the hard work required to learn. Unfortunately, many students have had negative experiences in education that lead them to enter our courses with low trust or even mistrust – making them less likely to persist through struggle and more likely to turn to tools like generative AI to do the work for them. What can we as instructors do to build trust through our teaching and grading practices? This interactive session draws on an international study of faculty “trust moves” in large-enrollment courses to explore practical approaches to helping students develop trust in us, each other, and themselves in ways that contribute to their academic success and well-being.
