Description: Diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of many discussions in higher education, yet instructors may wonder what role these issues play in the day to day workings of their classrooms. Rather than viewing inclusive teaching as limited to language or specific practices, it may be helpful to see it as “a realization that traditional pedagogical methods — traditionally applied — have not served all of our students well” (Gannon, 2018). Thoughtful accommodations made through inclusive teaching have the potential to benefit all students. Specific considerations include: managing classroom climate, diversifying assessment methods, managing communication (both informal and formal/academic communications), clear expectations, and addressing potentialities for bias and how we might manage it in our classrooms. Join us for a conversation on how inclusive teaching might look in your classroom and how classroom inclusivity might contribute to a more positive campus climate for all Aggies.
