Students are more likely to succeed when they feel valued and supported and when their instructors are aware of and seek to counter systemic inequalities that affect their and their peers’ performance. We will strategize about implementing inclusive techniques, addressing potential barriers, and adjusting for specific course contexts. We will also reflect on moving from strategies to broader frameworks for thinking about inclusive, equitable, and anti-racist pedagogies. This workshop is at the introductory level, which means that it assumes no prior knowledge.

This workshop is part of the Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies series for GW instructors seeking strategies to increase student engagement and communicate with learners in new ways. Workshops in this series are sponsored by the Instructional Core. The Instructional Core provides comprehensive, integrated solutions for instructors in search of teaching solutions. If you need feedback on assignment or syllabus design, advice on teaching methods, or ideas for new activities, consider booking a consultation with the Instructional Core.
