FACT2 Inclusive Teaching Task Group 4-Part Webinar Series

Join the Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology (FACT2) Inclusive Teaching Task Force each Thursday in April for this 4-part Inclusive Teaching Webinar Series.

FACT2 Inclusive Teaching Task Force Webinar Series

The incorporation of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the curriculum and pedagogical approaches has received considerable attention in higher education as a way to help break down systemic barriers. We must regularly ask ourselves: What biases am I carrying as an instructor, and how do I counteract their effects? How does my teaching approach affect learning outcomes? What can faculty do in the classroom to support an inclusive learning environment that fosters a sense of belonging, minimizes systemic barriers, and holds a point of access for all. The practice of embracing student diversity and designing courses to create inclusive learning environments that reach all students is not a new concept. The pandemic highlighted the urgent need to act now. This symposium is created with the intent on addressing this critical need.
