Teaching for Inclusion & Equity

The Teaching for Inclusion & Equity (TIE) Program is appropriate for instructors who are new to the world of equity-minded teaching. Join this year-long program to explore ways to enhance student learning and academic success by adopting an equity-minded, inclusive approach to teaching and learning. During the monthly sessions you will engage in discussions about equity and inclusion and engage in learning activities to implement inclusive teaching practices. You will put into practice what you learn to your own course design and pedagogical practice, reflect, and gain feedback from peers.

By participating in the TIE program you will be able to:

Examine practitioner and institutional responsibility in student academic achievement.
Examine how personal identities, privileges, and biases impact course design, delivery, assessment, and the classroom experience.
Implement equity-minded pedagogical and assessment practices that support academic achievement of all students.
Advocate for change beyond one鈥檚 own classroom.
