Event Description
Pillar: People and Places, Transformative Learning
UBC’s Strategic Plan highlights wellbeing as an area of significance, with a goal to “Lead globally and locally in sustainability and wellbeing across our campuses and communities” (2018, p. 13). The Plan also highlights “renewal and innovation of learning environments” as a key pathway to advancing wellbeing (p. 42), specifically mentioning the opportunity to embed wellbeing into the teaching and learning environment.
This open space and dialogue-based session will focus on exploring the current landscape of wellbeing, teaching and learning at UBC. Participants will have the opportunity to explore, through poster sessions and 1-1 and small group discussions:
• Current student wellbeing data (Undergraduate Experiences Survey 2018)
• Practices that enhance student wellbeing in learning environments (Teaching Practices & Wellbeing small TLEF 2015-2017)
• Data pertaining to faculty wellbeing (Workplace Experiences Survey 2017) and faculty beliefs about their role in supporting student wellbeing (Teaching Practices Survey 2018)
• Results and learning from the Academic Tenacity TLEF project (various project sites 2017-2019)
Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about opportunities to become involved in current initiatives and contribute their ideas for action.
This session is co-hosted by the Teaching & Wellbeing Community of Practice, the Health Promotion & Education unit in Student Development & Services, Human Resources, and UBC Wellbeing.
