"Introduction to Inclusive Teaching"
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Teaching strategies that emphasize structured active learning can create more equitable classrooms and improve learning for all students. As an introduction to inclusive teaching techniques, Professors Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy of the University of North Carolina will ask participants to reflect on inequities and diversity in their classrooms through interactive, hands-on activities. After providing a framework for inclusive design and their own research results, Hogan and Sathy will lead participants through active learning exercises and case studies that explore inclusive techniques. Drawing upon their own teaching experiences and educational research, they will model approaches that can be readily implemented with any discipline or class size to help all students achieve their potential.
ABOUT OUR APPROACH TO WORKING WITH EDUCATORS
We take a broad view of diversity including socioeconomic status, first generation college, gender, personality (introvert/extrovert), race/ethnicity, multilingualism, neurodiversity, disability, etc. We encourage faculty to think of this diversity as an asset in their classrooms and we offer very practical approaches that can include small tweaks or larger scale changes. It is important to us to model these approaches in the session so participants can see what we are describing in action.
