Inclusive Pedagogy Programs
Notre Dame Learning is committed to helping faculty and other instructors create inclusive learning experiences and environments that position all students to do their best work.
Our inclusive pedagogy offerings include the following programs, two of which are open to instructors external to Notre Dame in addition to our own campus teaching community.
Inclusive Pedagogy Partnership
The Inclusive Pedagogy Partnership program pairs Notre Dame instructors with undergraduate students trained in inclusive teaching practices. Our goal is that this program will provide a space for students and faculty to learn from one another about inclusive pedagogical practices that will meet the needs of our diversifying Notre Dame community. Pedagogical partnerships have been shown to promote student engagement while creating a stronger sense of community and belonging for students and faculty alike.
Open to: Notre Dame instructors
