Welcome to the weekly UTLC Newsletter supporting teaching and learning at UNCG.

This section is full of timely and evidence-based practices to apply in your teaching.

This week we present the next tip in our "What's Working" video series created by UNCG instructors, for UNCG instructors. Each video will be under 5 minutes and features tips you can immediately implement in your classroom.
In this week's video, Assistant Professor of Dance, Clarice Young, shares practical insights into finding your why to help students reengage in their educational endeavors on a personal level. Modeling these practices as instructors can help to form deeper bonds with students, which is a key element in learning. Here are a few other related resources to inspire new ways to connect with your students:
Also remember that Ramadan begins this week! Check out our teaching tips and student video shared in last week's newsletter, and review these additional Ramadan Considerations in Higher Education written by Shahnaz Khawaja, Associate Director of Spartan Well-Being. Ramadan Mubarak to all of our friends, colleagues, and students who celebrate!

| Reminder | Help Improve Support for Accessibility Accommodations
The UTLC is creating resources that demonstrate a pathway for how instructors can provide student accessibility accommodations in a timely, effective manner in any mode of teaching. To better understand how instructors currently implement academic accommodations, we have developed a 5–10 minute anonymous survey for instructors to share their experiences. Please help us by taking the survey and spreading the word! The survey deadline is Friday, April 7.
