Inclusive Teaching in U-M's Undergraduate Classrooms
Research shows that deliberate use of inclusive teaching practices enhances student learning and contributes to a classroom environment in which all students feel valued and supported. How can instructors create a welcoming class climate for a diverse range of students? In this interactive session, participants will learn about various inclusive teaching strategies, reflect on their own and their students’ social identities, and consider ways to mitigate stereotype threat in the classroom environment. The workshop is designed for instructors who are committed to retaining students underrepresented in their fields and those interested in engaging the social diversity of students in their classes.
