Join us as we explore inclusive classrooms and share our Top 20 strategies that we use to create classroom inclusivity for our on-campus and online students. We will give you the strategies and tools you need to create your own inclusive classroom during this session, including an inclusive classroom checklist.
An inclusive classroom refers to the climate and environment of the classroom where all students feel supported academically and intellectually. But did you know that creating an inclusive classroom does NOT require significant changes or time-consuming course redesigns? You can create a space where students and faculty have a sense of belonging in the classroom regardless of identity, learning preferences, or education by being more intentional about your classroom teaching techniques, topics, readings, and assessments.
Are you wondering how to get started creating an inclusive classroom? Or maybe you want to level up and create a more inclusive classroom? If you answered yes to any of the above questions or are just curious and want to learn more, please join us!
In this session, we will discuss inclusive classrooms and why the climate and environment of the classroom lay a foundation where ALL students feel supported academically and intellectually. We will share multiple examples of inclusive classroom strategies and highlight our top twenty inclusive classroom examples to help you create your inclusive classroom foundation. Finally, we will give you the tools to develop your inclusive classroom strategy plan by sharing a checklist and a little guidance from us and the audience.
Throughout the session, there will be opportunities for participants to share their inclusive practices and strategies through interactive polling and discussion. Content and the checklist from the session are based on “The Guide for Inclusive Teaching at Columbia,” Appert, L., Jungels, A., Bean, C., Klaf, S., Irvin, A., & Phillipson, M. (2018).
