Student challenges in and out of the classroom: What we know and how instructors can help
Do you ever wonder how students are coping with remote learning in and outside of your Zoom classroom? This session is a chance to hear from the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) Academic Coaches, who work with hundreds of Stanford students each year to help them develop effective academic skills and strategies. Learn about the top challenges that are causing students to seek help right now, and get ideas for how you can address them in your classroom.
