Teaching strategies that emphasize structured active learning can create more equitable classrooms and improve learning for all students.
As an introduction to inclusive teaching techniques, Professors Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy of the University of North Carolina will ask participants to reflect on inequities and diversity in their classrooms through interactive, hands-on activities. After providing a framework for inclusive design and their own research results, Hogan and Sathy will lead participants through active learning exercises and case studies that explore inclusive techniques. Drawing upon their own teaching experiences and educational research, they will model approaches that can be readily implemented with any discipline or class size to help all students achieve their potential.
Workshop objectives include:
- Explain the inequities that arise in an unstructured learning environment.
- Describe techniques that add structure and equity to a classroom.
- Brainstorm ways to reduce the inequities in your courses.
