Trust is a foundational condition for deep learning — and it doesn't happen by accident. In this webinar, participants will explore what it means to intentionally cultivate a pedagogy of trust in CSD education, examining how everyday choices in course design and instructor behavior shape the relational conditions students need to succeed. Drawing on research across teaching, learning, and mentorship, this session centers five core goals for trust-centered course design: transparency, authenticity, inclusion, consistency, and reciprocity. Participants will leave with expanded frameworks for recognizing and elevating the "trust-adjacent" practices they are already using, along with a practical design template to apply these principles in their own classrooms, clinics, and supervisory relationships. 

Learning Objectives

- Define trust in the college classroom and describe its evolution as an evidence-informed pedagogical construct.

- Identify the five core behaviors that support a pedagogy of trust across teaching, clinical, and supervisory contexts in CSD.

- Apply at least one trust-building strategy to their own course or program design through a small, intentional change.

This course is designed with a participation
requirement that ensures meaningful engagement and learning. Participants must
be present for the entire 60-minute webinar to receive the assessment. The
assessment is a key component in obtaining both their certificate of completion
and ASHA CEUs. In addition to standard assessments of the speaker's
effectiveness and the overall content quality, participants are challenged to
demonstrate practical application of the knowledge gained. The required
question prompts participants to articulate and list two specific action items
they plan to implement. This promotes critical thinking about how to apply new
information in their professional practice with a forward-thinking response.
