Designing Inclusive Classrooms and Learning Experiences

How can we create relevant and accessible learning experiences that support success for all students? In this workshop, we will discuss some basic principles of inclusive teaching such as building structure into our curricula, transparency, active learning and student interaction, and equitable discussion leading. We will offer strategies for implementing these practices to increase student success, especially for underrepresented populations (Shim & Perez 2018; Grant 2020).

Learning Goals

After successfully completing this workshop you will be able to:

• Add structure and transparency to create more equitable learning experiences
• Generate community guidelines to contribute to students’ sense of belonging
• Consider practices for facilitating equitable discussions
