Introduction to Equitable and Inclusive Teaching - Summer 2021

 

SYNCHRONOUS MEETINGS: MOndays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 12-1pm; June 21-July 2

(Information below about Synchronous and Asynchronous Components)

Workshop Description

Introduction to Equitable and Inclusive Teaching is an introductory workshop that introduces faculty to evidence-based teaching strategies for equity and inclusion, supports faculty in developing an inclusive course climate, encourages faculty to reflect on the impacts of social identities in higher education teaching and learning environments, and supports faculty in further developing an equitable and inclusive teaching lens. Participating in this program is a way for you to contribute in concrete and powerful ways to our goals of making Cal Poly more equitable and inclusive.

Please note: this program does not replace participation in Teaching Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (TIDE) (on hold for 2021); rather it functions as an introduction to equitable and inclusive teaching that is available for faculty during the academic year and summer.

Please register to join or to be added to the waitlist.
