The changing dynamics of higher education compel teacher education faculty to shift their understanding of teaching and learning from that of “subject matter content delivery” to that of a helping profession in which creating a climate of caring, mattering, and belonging is paramount. Participants will learn how instructional and social teaching practices are an effective mechanism for promoting a sense of caring and mattering with the teacher candidates in their own college classrooms.
