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.

Welcome back! We are starting off this semester with the first video of our new "What's Working" series consisting of teaching tips by UNCG instructors, for UNCG instructors. Each video will be under 5 minutes and will feature tips you can immediately implement in your classroom.
Our first video focuses on the importance of building community in your classroom. In the video, Associate Director of the UTLC and Communication Studies instructor, Amy Brown, provides insights on the lasting impact that can be made when students get to know each other at the beginning of the semester. You can learn more about community building from this resource from Columbia University’s Center for Teaching and Learning.
If you have a video tip you would like to share, please contact Amy Brown at albro25@uncg.edu.
