Upcoming Events
Inclusive Excellence Teaching Institute-THREE DAY Event (May 2-4)
Date and Time
Wednesday, May 2, 2018 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Description
Inclusive excellence refers to the use of pedagogical strategies that address the needs of students with a variety of backgrounds, learning interests, and abilities. These strategies contribute to an overall inclusive learning environment, in which students feel equally valued. In order to provide faculty with an opportunity to learn more about inclusive excellence in teaching and learning, the Pew FTLC, in partnership with the Division of Inclusion and Equity offer the Inclusive Excellence Teaching Institute (IETI).
Beginning with a 3 day intensive workshop from May 2-4,
2018, the IETI is designed for Tenure track and Affiliate
faculty who are new to the idea of engaging difference in the
classroom, but are ready to make inclusiveness a focus in their
teaching. The Institute will foster cultural humility in the classroom
through examination of social identity, identify barriers to learning
for diverse student groups, and will model, as well as, explore
pedagogical approaches which promote an inclusive classroom
environment. Through pre-assigned readings and facilitated
discussions, faculty will begin the process of transforming their
courses to reflect various aspects of inclusion. Faculty who complete
the 3 day intensive spring workshop will be given access to a group
blackboard site and continue to meet monthly throughout the fall
semester to reconnect and discuss the progress made in transforming
their courses.
At the end of fall semester participants submit a welcoming,
inclusive syllabus and a written reflection on how they have applied
insights/materials garnered from participation in the Institute.
Participants will receive $500.00 in professional development funds
for full participation.
The deadline for registration is April 25, 2018. Register here.
