Pedagogical wellness encompasses the physical, mental, emotional, and social health of educators, which in turn, can impact the quality of instruction and overall success of our students. This website aims to provide resources, strategies, and support to help NC&#160;State faculty cultivate pedagogical wellness. The best practice suggestions below are helpful to incorporate into your teaching to emphasize your support for student mental health and wellness as well as your own. We believe that by taking care of ourselves, we can create a positive and inclusive learning environment for our students, enhance our teaching effectiveness, and ultimately, foster a culture of well-being within our academic community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-accordion ncst-accordion\"><div class=\"accordion\" id=\"ncst-accordion-0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-accordion-item ncst-accordion-item panel\"><a class=\"accordion-item__header collapsed\" href=\"#ncst-accordion-item-0-0\" id=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-0\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#ncst-accordion-item-0-0\" aria-controls=\"ncst-accordion-item-0-0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"accordion-item__expansion-indicator\"><span class=\"ncst-plus-minus-toggle\"><\/span><\/span><h2 class=\"accordion-item__label h5\"><strong>Supporting Faculty Pedagogical Wellness<\/strong><\/h2><\/a><div class=\"collapse panel-collapse accordion-item__content-container \" id=\"ncst-accordion-item-0-0\" aria-labelledby=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-0\" data-parent=\"#ncst-accordion-0\"><div class=\"accordion-item__content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Course Design&nbsp;<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set<strong> manageable grading deadlines<\/strong> for yourself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/ofdblog.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/2020\/05\/15\/grading-rubrics-improve-both-remote-and-f2f-instruction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>grading strategies that<\/strong><\/a> might help you keep track of your time and workload.

Rather than one large project with 50% of a student\u2019s grade, ask students to turn in pieces of the project over the course of the semester and grade them separately. Using strategies such as these not only reduces student anxiety or assignments, it also spreads the need for grading more evenly over the semester.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include both formative and summative assessments. This will reduce student anxiety by letting them know earlier how they are doing in the course.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider <strong>flexible weighting<\/strong> strategies for assignments and texts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Specifications grading <\/strong>can alleviate stress for instructors and students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assignments<\/strong>&nbsp;\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reconsider penalties for missing deadlines. Consider a flexible deadline policy and clearly describe it in your syllabus. Such flexibility can range from eliminating all penalties to providing students with limited extensions as needed. It is not necessary for the instructor to figure out why the student might need an extension, nor is it an inclusive practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider <strong>revise and resubmit options.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid scheduling due dates for major exams, projects, or assignments immediately after wellness days or fall and spring breaks.&nbsp; Doing so will negate the mental health benefits of these breaks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assess course workload. <\/strong>Remember that students have competing demands like other courses, work, and lives beyond the classroom.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Give students choices<\/strong> for projects and\/or submission format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure assignments allow for<strong> reflection and connection to life, other students, and the world.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow students a <strong>soft deadline and a hard deadline<\/strong> to give some space for flexibility.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider <strong>project-based learning.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Class Environment\/ Participation<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consider including Ice breakers and brain breaks:<\/strong> mindfulness activities, stretch breaks, dance breaks, class outdoors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider not having an attendance policy <\/strong>or at least some flexibility (for example: allow 2 missed classes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give <strong>alternatives or an opt out option for content that may trigger students.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have <strong>multiple forms of participation<\/strong> and integrate digital technology in the classroom.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use<strong> reflections, mindfulness activities, and gratitude journals<\/strong> to allow students to deepen their appreciation of class content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use either structured or unstructured brain breaks <\/strong>every 30 minutes to get students to refocus their attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage<strong> self-care such as eating, sleeping, exercising.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be mindful of students experiencing grief or loss. The counseling center has <a href=\"https:\/\/counseling.dasa.ncsu.edu\/support-and-resources\/self-help-resources\/grief-and-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resources that you can share with your students<\/a>. It is important to keep the lines of communication open since grief is unique for each individual and students may not feel comfortable disclosing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make use of online education. Good online instruction can have the same or better outcomes than in-person instruction.&nbsp; Furthermore, for lectures, online education has actually been shown to have better outcomes due to the ability to pause and rewatch content. . Posting at least part of your course content, whether it be lectures, slides, notes, etc. is a smart pedagogical choice that increases flexibility for students and offers faculty a scaffolding approach to achieving course outcomes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hold online office hours.&nbsp; While some students want face-to-face time with their instructors, seldom do many students take that opportunity. It\u2019s not uncommon to see only one or two students during office hours, or none at all. Online office hours allow access to students that might otherwise not attend them. Students who live far from campus, students with mobility-related disabilities, or students who have jobs or caregiving responsibilities might find it difficult to make an extra trip to campus to come to office hours. These barriers are removed when office hours are online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communication with Students&nbsp;<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Co-construct
