Essentials of Teaching & Learning 1: Inclusive Teaching (In Person)

Learn about the key terms, frameworks, and principles of inclusive teaching. Join the CTL for a workshop for graduate students focused on strategies and tools for including all of your students in the learning process. We will ask how instructors can create inclusive classroom environments that set up all students for success, as well as how instructors can help students learn through the diversity of experiences and perspectives they bring to the classroom.

Prior to this session, participants are expected to have completed a 20-minute module on Canvas. To get started on the module, self-enroll in the Essentials Canvas site here: https://courseworks2.columbia.edu/enroll/CBT7BT.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to:

• Identify and reflect on teacher and learner identities and their relationship to inclusive teaching
• Describe key terms in inclusive teaching scholarship
• Develop strategies for creating an inclusive course climate
• Apply inclusive teaching principles to their own teaching practice

***Registration for this session will close the night before the session***
