Supporting Student Success
Supporting student success is not just about academic achievement but providing the tools, skills, and encouragement so students can achieve their potential. Understanding how we learn is a good place to start, so we recommend Todd Zakrajsek’s course on Helping Students Learning How to Learn before exploring the science of learning in more detail. We also have resources to help you motivate students, support better mental health and wellbeing, and develop your students’ study skills. If you’re new to teaching in higher education or want to brush up on those foundational concepts and skills, the Introduction to Teaching in Higher Education learning path provides a rapid grounding in the essentials and suggestions for further study.
The Science of Learning
Thanks to advances in neuroscience and psychology, we now know more about how we learn than we ever before. Armed with this information, we can create courses and learning experiences that increase the chances that our students achieve the desired learning outcomes and become more effective lifelong learners.

Supporting Student Mental Health and Wellbeing
As educators, we want to support the student as a whole person, but there is only so much we can do within our roles. Arguably, the most meaningful contribution we can make to student mental health and wellbeing is to create safe and inclusive spaces in which students can thrive.

Motivating Students
All students struggle with motivation at some point, and there are things we can do to help them overcome it. In part, it’s about starting the teaching period strong and laying the foundations for students to stay motivated. It’s also about using our teaching touchpoints to keep students connected, involved, and focused on the end goal.
