Trust Moves in the Classroom with Peter Felten, Rachel Forsyth, and Kath Sutherland

How can instructors build trust, community, and a sense of belonging with their students to ultimately improve student learning? In today’s episode, we tackle this question with Peter Felten, Rachel Forsyth, and Kath Sutherland, authors of the two recent articles, “ Building Trust in the Classroom: A Conceptual Model for Teachers, Scholars, and Academic Developers in Higher Education ” and “ Expressions of Trust: How University STEM Teachers Describe the Role of Trust in their Teaching.” Drs.
