Developing a sense of belonging is important for instructors. The purpose behind this outcome is to encourage programming which helps instructors connect with one another and/or with students. We want to cultivate solidarity among instructors around teaching which is informed by research-based approaches. We want instructors to feel like they matter and that others are invested in their success and that they are invested in the success of others.
