Inclusive, Socially Just Teaching: Home

Welcome

Use this resource to acquire and strengthen your inclusive and equitable teaching approaches. While open to all, it is intended for all those who teach, mentor, and guide students in their journey to becoming socially responsible practitioners. 

An inclusive, socially just educator is one who sees student diversity as an asset to learning. They design and deliver educational experiences that foster talent in all students - especially those who are historically and continuously marginalized in higher education; they actively work to dismantle oppressive structures and systems; and they facilitate the development of students' social justice knowledge, abilities, and attitudes.

There are several paths to equitable, inclusive, and socially just teaching. Explore, adopt, adapt, and reflect to get started. 

• Start with the self-assessment which may help you determine your next step. 
• Learn more about the approach by exploring the framework for teaching.
• Engage in reflective teaching practice to guide professional development and learning.
• Explore various pedagogies and discrete practices.
• Find opportunities to learn and practice skills on the Faculty Development page and explore the range of possibilities on the Faculty Development Map. Revisit and hone skills on the Past Events page.
• Sharpen your understanding of terms and teaching approaches in the glossary.
• Contact Dr. Cheryl R. Richardson, Director for Inclusive Teaching Excellence, or Christena Gunther of Disability Services for consultation and further information.
