Inclusive Teaching Institute for Graduate Students and Postdocs
February 11-12, 2022
~ The 2022 event will be held virtually ~
The Inclusive Teaching Institute is a two-day retreat offered every spring for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to explore strategies for engaging diversity and fostering inclusion in teaching and learning. As a participant, you will identify ways to increase accessibility and boost student engagement and belongingness; discuss inclusive course design; and create an action plan for future teaching.

What is the Inclusive Teaching Institute?
This interactive virtual workshop invites you to collaborate with other graduate students and postdocs to share what you know, explore how and why social identities come into play in the learning environment, and experience active learning strategies that increase engagement and inclusion. A five-point organizing framework invites entry from all disciplinary perspectives: Consider your students, and yourself as an instructor, how you teach, what you teach, and the overall learning environment. Leave with a toolkit of strategies and a plan you can use for future teaching. Read about the March 2019 Institute
