The Center for Teaching offers programs to provide evidence-based strategies and opportunities for discussion around creating equitable classrooms, including our Inclusive Teaching in Practice consultations and our Inclusive Teaching Book Club, which is open to faculty, graduate students, post-docs, and instructional staff from across campus. Our goal is to support instructors looking for guidance on navigating difficult dialogues and creating a sense of belonging.
Our Programs
Inclusive Teaching in Practice
Inclusive Teaching in Practice consultations focus on fostering inclusive teaching through unit-wide, iterative discussions. This program offers tailored support, including workshops, sparkshops, retreats, learning communities, and curriculum (re)design, all aimed at promoting equitable classroom environments. Sparkshops, our short, interactive workshops, are customized to departmental needs, offering solutions in transparency, equitable assessment, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and more.
Inclusive Teaching Book Club
The Inclusive Teaching Book Club invites faculty, instructional staff, graduate students, and post-docs to explore and discuss books on equitable pedagogies and student belonging. Meeting monthly, the book club is a space for members to share insights, questions, and innovative teaching strategies, fostering a community of inclusivity across disciplines. Join us to contribute to a vibrant discussion on making instruction and course design more inclusive.
Inclusive Teaching Resources
Inclusive teaching resources support instructors looking for evidence-based strategies on topics like difficult dialogues and sense of belonging including those rooted in equitable pedagogies. These resources may be helpful to anyone interested in inclusive teaching.
